Cactus and Holm Oak Acorn for Efficient Textile Wastewater Treatment by Coagulation-Flocculation Process Optimization Using Box-Benhken Design

Journal of Ecological Engineering, 2023
In this study, the effectiveness of using natural bio-coagulants and bio-flocculants to treat textile wastewater through the coagulation-flocculation method was examined.

Drought conditions, aridity and forest structure control the responses of Iberian holm oak woodlands to extreme droughts: A large-scale remote-sensing exploration in eastern Spain.

Science of the Total Environment, 2023
Understanding how Mediterranean forests respond to the increasing frequency of extreme droughts and forest densification is crucial for effective land management in the present context of climate change and land abandonment.

Quercus rotundifolia Lam. Woodlands of the Southwestern Iberian Peninsula

Land, 2021
The holm oak woodlands as ecotonic phytocoenoses occur under different ecological conditions, and frequently representing the climax of edaphoxerophilous series of crests and siliceous rocky areas.

Alteration of the tree–soil microbial system triggers a feedback loop that boosts holm oak decline

Functional Ecology, 2023
In anthropic savanna ecosystems from the Iberian Peninsula (i.e. dehesa), complex interactions between climate change, pathogen outbreaks and human land use are presumed to be behind the observed increase in holm oak decline.

Effects of fresh and field-aged holm-oak biochar on As, Cd and Pb bioaccumulation in different rice growing environments.

Science of the Total Environment, 2023
Arsenic, Cd, and Pb environmental fate is influenced when the traditional permanent flooding rice production systems are replaced by water-saving and soil conservation practices, urging for additional strategies that avoid their bioaccumulation in rice ...

Impact of Land Use Change and Afforestation on Soil Properties in a Mediterranean Mountain Area of Central Spain

Land, 2022
Afforestation can improve hydrological processes, such as infiltration, in basins and, therefore, reduce the impact on human populations of floods, soil erosion, landslides, droughts, and climate variation.

Topography modulates climate sensitivity of multidecadal trends of holm oak decline

bioRxiv, 2023
Forest decline events have increased worldwide over the last decades, being holm oak one of the tree species with the most worrying trends across Europe.

Qualitative and Quantitative Anatomical Analysis of the Constitutive Bark of Q. ilex x Q. suber Hybrids

Plants, 2022
Hybridization and introgression between cork oak (Quercus suber) and holm oak (Q. ilex) have traditionally been reckoned as undesirable processes, since hybrid individuals lack the profitable bark characteristics of cork oak.

Efficient Procedure for Induction Somatic Embryogenesis in Holm Oak: Roles of Explant Type, Auxin Type, and Exposure Duration to Auxin

Forests, 2023
Holm oak is the dominant tree species in the Mediterranean climate. Currently, worrisome degradation of its ecosystems has been observed, produced, among other factors, by changes in land use, extreme weather events, forest fires, climate change, and ...

Effects Of Thinning In a Water-Limited Holm Oak Forest [PDF]

Journal of Sustainable Forestry, 2019
A natural holm oak forest was selectively thinned to test thinning as a tool to reduce tree mortality, increase productivity, and reverse the recent regression of the dominant species (Quercus ilex) induced by climate change. Thinning increased aboveground productivity and reduced stem mortality in this Mediterranean forest during four years just after
