A neighborhood analysis of the consequences of Quercus suber decline for regeneration dynamics in Mediterranean forests. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 In forests, the vulnerable seedling stage is largely influenced by the canopy, which modifies the surrounding environment. Consequently, any alteration in the characteristics of the canopy, such as those promoted by forest dieback, might impact ...

Molecular evidence of bidirectional introgression between Quercus suber and Quercus ilex [PDF]
iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2018 Cork oak and holm oak share a large part of their natural range, and are known to hybridize in mixed stands. This hybridization is supposed to have played a relevant role in the past history of cork oak. Previous research has reported that F1 hybrids are
