Soil Nutrient, Woody Understory and Shoot and Root Growth Responses of Pinus brutia Ten. Saplings to Fire [PDF]
, 2012 Nine years after a wildfire, above- and below-ground morphology of Pinus brutia Ten. saplings and the microsite factors prevailing in understorey (unburned area) and postfire conditions (burned area) of the Forest Park of Thessaloniki were studied. Major

Increased aridity drives post‐fire recovery of Mediterranean forests towards open shrublands
New Phytologist, Volume 225, Issue 4, Page 1500-1515, February 2020., 2020 Summary Recent observations suggest that repeated fires could drive Mediterranean forests to shrublands, hosting flammable vegetation that regrows quickly after fire. This feedback supposedly favours shrubland persistence and may be strengthened in the future by predicted increased aridity. An assessment was made of how fires and aridity in combination

Impact of location and forestry conditions on some physical and mechanical properties of northern Tunisian Pinus pinea L. wood [PDF]
, 2015 Pinea pines have been used and cultivated for their edible pine nuts since prehistoric times. More recently, Pinus pinea L. has been introduced as an ornamental tree in Mediterranean regions, and is now often found in city parks and gardens.

Impact of climate change on the potential distribution of Mediterranean pines [PDF]
, 2014 The impact of climate change on the potential distribution of four Mediterranean pine species – Pinus brutia Ten., Pinus halepensis Mill., Pinus pinaster Aiton, and Pinus pinea L. – was studied by the Climate Envelope Model (CEM) to examine whether these

Bee community and trait‐based responses to fire in a Mediterranean landscape
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Fire drives a short‐term increase in bee abundance and diversity, despite its strong negative impact on floral resources. Acting as an environmental filter, fire shapes bee communities as increased post‐fire fine‐scale heterogeneity favors bees with specific functional traits such as ground‐nesting and generalist species.

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.Extracts of Pinus nigra and Pinus brutia inhibit quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 by reducing pyocyanin and elastase production. This effect is associated with the downregulation of QS‐related genes, including lasR, lasI, rhlI, and rhlR. Additionally, the extracts exhibit minimal, dose‐ and time‐dependent effects on the metabolic activity ...

Analyzing the impact of reforestation on forest fires and the economic outcome in an area in northern Greece. : Should we reforest areas with conifers? Yes or No? [PDF]
, 2023 The reforestation that occurred in the South Evros region in northern Greece was documented and studied. Our hypothesis is that the economic footprint of reforestation with conifers is negative, and the presence of conifers influences the size of the ...
