Leaf longevity and structure, fruit mass and phenology in 52 cultivated varieties and wild accessions of olive

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although phenology has long been recognized as a critical feature for the adaptation of organisms to their local environment, until recently, phenological events have seldom been considered in the broader context of trait‐based ecology.

Fractal dimension does not adequately describe the complexity of leaf margin in seedlings of Quercus species

Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2002
We quantified the complexity of leaf margin in a set of Quercus tree species using fractal dimension estimated by the box-counting method (FDb). Leaves were sampled from seedlings in a set of 15 Quercus species with a wide range of leaf morphology (Q ...

Below the leaves: Integrating above‐ and below‐ground phenology for earth‐system predictability

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Almost every aspect of biological systems has phenology—a pattern in activity or function linked to annual cycles. Most terrestrial phenology research focusses on leaves, the onset of leaf out or senescence.

Disentangling research on oak decline factors in Mediterranean-type climate regions: A systematic review

Trees, Forests and People
The genus Quercus holds significant ecological and economic value in the Northern Hemisphere Mediterranean-type climate (MTC) regions. However, Quercus species and ecosystems are threatened by decline.

Using field and nursery treatments to establish Quercus suber seedlings in Mediterranean degraded shrubland

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2020
Cork oak (Quercus suber L.) is a suitable species for restoring Mediterranean ecosystems due to its capacity to resprout after wildfires and its economic importance for the use of cork.

Functional traits predict changes in floral phenology under climate change in a highly diverse Mediterranean community

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants are shifting their flowering phenology in response to climate change, but trends differ between species and communities. Functional traits can largely explain how different species respond to climate change by shifting their phenology, and can therefore help ...

Variation in seed biometry and early seedling growth from northeastern Algerian Quercus suber L. provenances

Annals of Silvicultural Research
This study aimed to assess the effect of provenance on seed biometry and early seedling growth of Quercus suber L. The acorns used for the study conducted in the regional forest research station of Jijel, were collected from thirty healthy mother trees ...

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

Acorn removal and seedling age determine oak (Quercus ilex L. and Q. suber L.) restoration outcome in ungulate-dominated Mediterranean environments

Annals of Forest Science
Key message We test the potential benefits of planting 2-year vs. 1-year-old seedlings to restore Mediterranean oak-dominated systems. Planting 2-year-old Quercus suber L.
