Arbutus unedo L. is very abundant in pre-and protohistoric anthracological assemblages of Corsica (northwestern Mediterranean). In the present day, it is a dominant species, along with Erica arborea L., of the macchia, a shrubland ecosystem that covers a major part of the island.

Tree‐Ring Anatomy Improves the Reliability of Temperature Reconstructions Using Relict Wood
Tree rings are crucial for reconstructing past climates, with maximum latewood density (MXD) as a key metric. However, wood integrity is critical for accurate MXD‐based reconstructions, raising concerns when using potentially degraded relict wood ...

Xylem plasticity in Pinus pinaster and Quercus ilex growing at sites with different water availability in the Mediterranean region: relations between Intra-Annual Density Fluctuations and environmental conditions. [PDF]
Fluctuations in climatic conditions during the growing season are recorded in Mediterranean tree-rings and often result in intra-annual density fluctuations (IADFs).
