The estimated average litter production was 3.9 Mg.ha-1.year -1 for one site and 4.6 Mg.ha-1.year-1 for the other; these figures are similar to those reported for holm-oak (Quercus ilex) forests in the same area. Seasonal litterfall patterns were typical of Mediterranean forest ecosystems. Leaves accounted for 46 to 78% of the total dry matter. Their annual weighted-average mineral composition was low in macronutrients (N 8-9; K 4-5; Mg 0.8-1.3; Ca 9-10 and P 0.4-1 mg.g-1) and relatively high in micronutrients such as Mn (2-2.2 mg.g-1) or Fe (0.3-0.4 mg.g-1). Minimum N and P concentrations were found during the growth period. Estimates of potential mineral return for an annual cycle were N 38-52, P 2.1-5.2, K 20-28, Ca 44-53 and Mg 5.4-5.0 kg.ha -1, depending on the site biomass and fertility.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oliva, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molinas, A Caritat M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caritat, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molinas, M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Estudio preliminar del crecimiento del alcornoque en la fase juvenil.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SCIENTIA gerundensis</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">buds</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cork-oak</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus suber</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">shoot elongation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">sprouts</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1989</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">53-60</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shoot elongation has been measured in two different groups of juvenil cork-oaks (Quercus suber) by means of their budding segments. One group has got 14 seedlings three years old, proceeding from a forest nursery. The other group consistes in 17 sprouts of three and one years old from a bumed cork-oak forest. Buddings segments of the three- years old seedlings show an average elongation of 4,l cm. Sprouts are more vigorous; the three years old ones have an average value of segment elongation of 6,05 cm, and the one year old ones an average value of 15,3 cm. A decrease in elongation appears along the succesive buddings</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
