Inflammability ofPinus halepensis [PDF]
Summary In the framework of the prevention of the forest fires, the thermal analysis technics can be used to determine the behavior of the vegetable to the heat. The different aerial parts (needle, branch, cone) of Pinus halepensis (Aleppo Pine) present thermal analysis curves of DTA and DTG close enough, whatever are the degree of maturation and the ...

Hydraulic adjustments underlying drought resistance of Pinus halepensis [PDF]
Drought-induced tree mortality has increased over the last decades in forests around the globe. Our objective was to investigate under controlled conditions the hydraulic adjustments underlying the observed ability of Pinus halepensis to survive seasonal drought under semi-arid conditions. One hundred 18-month saplings were exposed in the greenhouse to

Annual Cambial Rhythm in Pinus halepensis and Pinus sylvestris as Indicator for Climate Adaptation. [PDF]
To understand better the adaptation strategies of intra-annual radial growth in Pinus halepensis and Pinus sylvestris to local environmental conditions, we examined the seasonal rhythm of cambial activity and cell differentiation at tissue and cellular levels.
