The metabolic yield of acorn intake may determine a selection pattern: preference for fat, carbohydrate, and consequently energy-rich fruits; or avoidance of fruits containing high concentrations of secondary chemical compounds (e.g., tannic acid). We studied the acorn feeding selection pattern of wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus) inhabiting a mixed oak woodland, southwest Portugal, using an experiment conducted in an open-air enclosure. We tested which variables associated with the wood mouse (e.g., sex) and acorns (e.g., size and nutrient content) from three oak species (holm Q. rotundifolia, Portuguese Q. faginea and cork Q. suber oak) could be constraining acorn consumption. Our results indicate that wood mice are selecting acorns of the most common oak species (Q. suber), probably due to their previous familiarization with the fruit due to its dominance in the ecosystem but probably also because its chemical characteristics (sugar contents). Rodent gender and acorn morphology (width) are also influential, with females more prone to consume acorns with smaller width, probably due to handling limitation. This selective behaviour may have consequences for dispersion and natural regeneration of the different oak species.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">24004078</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">From Duplicate 1 ( </style></notes><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">From Duplicate 1 ( </style></research-notes></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%">Alla, Arben Q.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Julio Camarero, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Palacio, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montserrat-Martí, Gabriel</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Revisiting the fate of buds: size and position drive bud mortality and bursting in two coexisting Mediterranean Quercus species with contrasting leaf habit</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TREES-STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bud demography</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bud position</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bud size</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Budburst</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus faginea</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex subsp ballota</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">27</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1375 - 1386</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Understanding the relationships between bud size and position and bud fate through time is crucial for identifying and subsequently modeling the mechanisms underlying tree architecture. However, there is a lack of information on how bud size drives crown architectural patterns in coexisting tree species. We studied bud demography in two coexisting Mediterranean oak species with contrasting leaf habit (Quercus ilex, evergreen; Q. faginea, deciduous). The main objective was to analyse the effect of bud size on the fate of buds with different positions along the shoot (apical, leaf axillary and scale-cataphyll axillary buds). The number, length and position of all buds and stems were recorded in marked branches during 4 years. Study species presented different strategies in bud production and lifespan. The evergreen species showed greater mortality rate than the deciduous one, which produced larger buds. Bud size and position were highly related since apical buds where longer than axillary ones and bud length declined basipetally along the stem. Apical buds had also higher chances of bursting than axillary ones. Within positions, longer buds presented a higher probability of bursting than shorter ones, although no absolute size threshold was found below which bud bursting was impaired. In Q. ilex, four-year-old buds were still viable and able to burst, whereas in Q. faginea practically all buds burst in their first year or died soon after. Such different bud longevities may indicate contrasting strategies in primary growth between both species. Q. ilex is able to accumulate viable buds for several ages, whereas Q. faginea seems to rely on the production of large current-year buds with high bursting probability under favourable environmental conditions.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;pub-location: 233 SPRING ST, NEW YORK, NY 10013 USA&lt;br/&gt;publisher: SPRINGER</style></notes></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%">Alla, Arben Q.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Camarero, J.

However, knowledge is scarce on how these factors drive changes in bud size across different time scales.Methods The seasonal patterns of apical bud enlargement are related to primary and secondary growth in two coexisting Mediterranean oaks with contrasting leaf habit (Quercus ilex, evergreen; Quercus faginea, deciduous) over three years. In addition, the climatic factors driving changes in bud size of the two oak species were determined by correlating bud mass with climatic variables at different time scales (from 5 to 30 d) over a 15-year period.Key Results The maximum enlargement rate of buds was reached between late July and mid-August in both species. Moreover, apical bud size increased with minimum air temperatures during the period of maximum bud enlargement rates.Conclusions The forecasted rising minimum air temperatures predicted by climatic models may affect bud size and consequently alter crown architecture differentially in sympatric Mediterranean oaks. However, the involvement of several drivers controlling the final size of buds makes it difficult to predict the changes in bud size as related to ongoing climate warming.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1093/aob/mcs24710.1093/aob/mcs247</style></notes></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%">Coll, Lluís</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Camarero, Araid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aragón, Juan Martínez De</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Camarero, Jesús Julio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martínez de Aragón, Juan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Camarero, Araid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aragón, Juan Martínez De</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fine Root Seasonal Dynamics, Plasticity, and Mycorrhization in 2 Coexisting Mediterranean Oaks with Contrasting Aboveground Phenology</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ecoscience</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">architecture et le statut</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chênes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">coexistence d</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">des mécanismes supportant la</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ectomycorrhizae</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">espèces méditerranéennes de</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">et caduques</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">feuilles persistantes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">fine roots</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">l</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mixte de chênes à</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mycorhizien des radicelles d</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">nous avons analysé sur</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">nous avons utilisé la</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">pour accroître notre compréhension</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus faginea</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">résumé</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">root traits</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">technique du sac</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">un peuplement</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">une année la production</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.2980/19-3-3488</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">238 - 245</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">To advance understanding of the mechanisms underpinning the coexistence of Mediterranean oak species, we conducted a year-long analysis of the production, architecture, and mycorrhization status of the fine roots of a mixed evergreen (Quercus ilex) and winter deciduous (Quercus faginea) oak stand. We used the ingrowth bag technique to sample the fine roots produced by each species in spring, summer, and winter. For each season, root architecture traits (specific root length, root diameter, root tips) and variables associated to root ectomycorrhizal status were measured in the laboratory. Results showed a marked seasonality in the fine root architecture, including more fine root tips and longer roots per unit of weight formed in spring and summer, revealing a capacity in Mediterranean oak species to modify root architecture in spring and suggesting the possibility of increased resource capture in summer. Fine root ectomycorrhizal status was comparable between species and also showed marked seasonality: we found a high percentage of roots colonized by dead ectomycorrhizas in winter but low ectomycorrhizal colonization rates in summer. Quercus ilex produced greater amounts of fine roots than Q. faginea (particularly during spring), suggesting greater competitive ability in the former species for belowground resources.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue></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%">Granda, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Escudero, Adrián</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de la Cruz, Marcelino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valladares, Fernando</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pillar, Valerio</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Juvenile–adult tree associations in a continental Mediterranean ecosystem: no evidence for sustained and general facilitation at increased aridity</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Vegetation Science</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">faginea</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Juniperus thurifera</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">patterns</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pinus nigra</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus faginea</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Regeneration</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">spatial</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">spatial patterns</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stress-gradient hypothesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">water</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Water availability</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://doi.wiley.com/10.1111/j.1654-1103.2011.01343.xhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1654-1103.2011.01343.x</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">164 - 175</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Question How do tree species identity, microhabitat and water availability affect inter- and intra-specific interactions between juvenile and adult woody plants? Location Continental Mediterranean forests in Alto Tajo Natural Park, Guadalajara, Spain. Methods A total of 2066 juveniles and adults of four co-occurring tree species were mapped in 17 plots. The frequency of juveniles at different microhabitats and water availability levels was analysed using log-linear models. We used nearest-neighbour contingency table analysis of spatial segregation and J-functions to describe the spatial patterns. Results We found a complex spatial pattern that varied according to species identity and microhabitat. Recruitment was more frequent in gaps for Quercus ilex, while the other three species recruited preferentially under shrubs or trees depending on the water availability level. Juveniles were not spatially associated to conspecific adults, experiencing segregation from them in many cases. Spatial associations, both positive and negative, were more common at higher water availability levels. Conclusions Our results do not agree with expectations from the stress-gradient hypothesis, suggesting that positive interactions do not increase in importance with increasing aridity in the study ecosystem. Regeneration patterns are species-specific and depend on microhabitat characteristics and dispersal strategies. In general, juveniles do not look for conspecific adult protection. This work contributes to the understanding of species co-existence, proving the importance of considering a multispecies approach at several plots to overcome limitations of simple pair-wise comparisons in a limited number of sites.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue></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%">Alla, Arben Q.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Camarero, J.

However, detailed analyses on how growth and fruit production interact at the shoot level are scarce. Primary canopy growth depends on the development of current-year shoots and their secondary growth might also inﬂuence the number and size of fruits supported by them. We hypothesise that an enhanced thickening of currentyear shoots is linked positively to acorn production in oaks. We analysed the effect of acorn production on shoot growth of two co-occurring Mediterranean oak species with contrasting leaf habit (Quercus ilex, Quercus faginea). Length and cross-sectional area of current-year shoots, apical bud mass, number of leaves and acorns, xylem and conductive area, number of vessels of acorn-bearing and non-bearing shoots were measured in summer and autumn. Nitrogen and carbohydrates analyses were also performed in stems and leaves of both shoot types. Stem cross-sectional area increased in acorn-bearing shoots when compared with non-bearing shoots for both species and such surplus secondary growth was observed since summer. In bearing shoots, the total transversal area occupied by vessels decreased signiﬁcantly from basal to apical positions along the stem as did the xylem area and the number of vessels. Leaves of bearing shoots showed lower nitrogen concentration than those of non-bearing shoots. Carbohydrate concentrations did not differ in stems and leaves as a function of the presence of acorns. Such results suggest that carbohydrates may preferentially be allocated towards reproductive shoots, possibly through enhanced secondary growth, satisfying all their carbon demands for growth and reproduction. Our ﬁndings indicate that acorn production in the two studied oaks depends on shoot secondary growth.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue></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%">Sanz-Pérez, V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castro-Díez, P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valladares, F.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Differential and interactive effects of temperature and photoperiod on budburst and carbon reserves in two co-occurring Mediterranean oaks</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Biology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global warming</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lipids</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus faginea</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">soluble sugars</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">starch</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">wood anatomy</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1438-8677.2008.00119.x</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">142 - 151</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Effects of temperature and photoperiod and their interactions on budburst and on the use of carbon reserves were examined in two Mediterranean oaks differing in wood anatomy and leaf habit. Seedlings of Quercus ilex subsp. ballota (evergreen and diffuse-porous wood) and Q. faginea (semi-deciduous and ring-porous wood) were grown under two temperatures (12 and 19 °C) and two photoperiods (10 and 16 h) in a factorial experiment. In the 16 h photoperiod at 19 °C, photosynthesis was suppressed in half of the seedlings by covering leaves with aluminium foil. The concentration of soluble sugars, starch and lipids in leaves, stems and roots was assessed before and after budburst. Under the 12 °C treatment (mean current temperature in early spring in the Iberian Peninsula), budburst in Q. faginea occurred earlier than in Q. ilex. Higher temperature promoted earlier budburst in both species, mostly under the 16 h photoperiod. This response was less pronounced in Q. faginea because its budburst was also controlled by photoperiod, and because this species needs to construct a new ring of xylem before budburst to supply its growth demands.

Seedlings of Quercus ilex subsp. ballota (evergreen and diffuse-porous wood) and Q. faginea (semi-deciduous and ring-porous wood) were grown under two temperatures (12 and 19 °C) and two photoperiods (10 and 16 h) in a factorial experiment. In the 16 h photoperiod at 19 °C, photosynthesis was suppressed in half of the seedlings by covering leaves with aluminium foil. The concentration of soluble sugars, starch and lipids in leaves, stems and roots was assessed before and after budburst. Under the 12 °C treatment (mean current temperature in early spring in the Iberian Peninsula), budburst in Q. faginea occurred earlier than in Q. ilex. Higher temperature promoted earlier budburst in both species, mostly under the 16 h photoperiod. This response was less pronounced in Q. faginea because its budburst was also controlled by photoperiod, and because this species needs to construct a new ring of xylem before budburst to supply its growth demands. Therefore, dates of budburst of the two species became closer to each other in the warmer treatment, which might alter competitive relations between the species with changing climate. While Q. ilex relied on carbon reserves for budburst, Q. faginea relied on both carbon reserves and current photoassimilates. The different responses of the two Quercus species to temperature and photoperiod related more to xylem structure than to the source of carbon used for budburst.</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%">Juárez-López, Francisco José</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Escudero, Alfonso</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediavilla, Sonia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ontogenetic changes in stomatal and biochemical limitations to photosynthesis of two co-occurring Mediterranean oaks differing in leaf life span</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tree Physiology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A–ci response curves</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">biochemical capacity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">leaf morphology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">leaf N allocation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mature trees</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus faginea</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">seedlings</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stomatal conductance</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">367-374</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A quantitative analysis was applied to the stomatal and biochemical limitations to light-saturated net photosynthesis under optimal field conditions in mature trees and seedlings of the co-occurring evergreen oak, Quercus ilex L., and the deciduous oak, Q. faginea Lam. Stomatal limitation to photosynthesis, maximal Rubisco activity and electron transport rate were determined from assimilation versus intercellular leaf carbon dioxide concentration response curves of leaves that were subsequently analyzed for nitrogen (N) concentration, mass per unit area, thickness and percent internal air space. In both species, seedlings had a lower leaf mass per unit area, thickness and leaf N concentration than mature trees. The root system of seedlings during their third year after planting was dominated by a taproot. A lower leaf N concentration of seedlings was associated with lower maximal Rubisco activity and electron transport rate and with assimilation rates similar to or lower than those of mature trees, despite the higher stomatal conductances and potential photosynthetic nitrogen-use efficiencies of seedlings. Consequently, stomatal limitation to photosynthesis increased with tree age in both species. In both seedlings and mature trees, a lower assimilation rate in Q. ilex than in Q. faginea was associated with lower stomatal conductance, N allocation to photosynthetic functions, maximal Rubisco activity and electron transport rate, and potential photosynthetic nitrogen-use efficiency but greater leaf thickness and leaf mass per unit area. Tree-age-related changes differed quantitatively between species, and the characteristics of the two species were more similar in seedlings than in mature trees. Despite higher stomatal conductances, seedlings are more N limited than adult trees, which contributes to lower biochemical efficiency.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1093/treephys/28.3.367</style></notes><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1093/treephys/28.3.367</style></research-notes></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%">Garcia-Montero, Luis G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manjon, Jose L.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pascual, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">García-Abril, Antonio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ecological patterns of Tuber melanosporum and different Quercus Mediterranean forests: Quantitative production of truffles, burn sizes and soil studies</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Forest Ecology and Management</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">active carbonate</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus faginea</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">truffle burn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">truffle production</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">truffle soil</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tuber melanosporum</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">242</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">288-296</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Most studies on Tuber melanosporum fail to supply statistical data on carpophore production and other quantitative data associated with trufﬂe ecology, such as the development of its burns (trufﬂe production sites).

Light availability, soil moisture, litter accumulation, and the overlying species were also significant factors in explaining the variance in the density of recruits. The best model accounted for 37% of the overall variance in the density of recruits, and most (80%) of the explained variance corresponded to spatially structured variance.

This case study shows the importance of the spatial component in understanding the forest regeneration patterns under Mediterranean conditions and will contribute to the implementation of ecologically based management actions to preserve the remaining forest fragments.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>3</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rovirola, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alcazar, J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peman, J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aplicación de los diagramas bioclimáticos a la provincia de lérida: determinación de los parametros bioclimáticos para las masas de QUERCUS ILEX BALLOTA Y QUERCUS FAGINEA</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">III Congreso Forestal Español Congreso</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">diagramas bioclimáticos</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">forestation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus faginea</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex ballota</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2001</style></year></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Granada</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The present work tries to characterize the different bulks of Quercus ilex and Q. .faginea that are distributed all over the province of Lérida through the utilization of the Diagramas bioclimáticos.

Two evergreen oaks (Quercus suber L., Q. coccifera) and one deciduous oak (Q. faginea Willd.) were subjected to drought in a nursery in Tunis. Six- and 18-month-old seedlings were grown in pots and underwent two cycles of drought by withholding water supply. Predawn and midday leaf water potentials, stomatal conductance, photosynthesis and plant transpiration were recorded. An analysis of root and shoot biomass, shoot-to-root ratio and leaf area was also performed. Our results showed a higher reduction of shoot-to-root biomass ratio of Q. faginea compared to Q. coccifera under water limitation. The stomatal conductance decrease, related to the decrease of predawn leaf water potential, occurred earlier with Q. faginea. Q. coccifera kept its stomata partly open at a water potential of -3.0 MPa. Q. suber behaved somewhat intermediate. Photosynthesis and stomatal conductance were correlated and showed a midday depression. Our results indicate that more ecophysiological studies are required to take into account seedling and leaf ages during the juvenile stage for a better understanding of the water stress responses of these species and regeneration problems of oaks.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>3</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muncharaz, Javier Zazo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moraga, Juana Royo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BARREAL, RODRÍGUEZ</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SÁIZ DE OMEÑACA, JOSÉ A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ZAZO MUNCHARAZ, JAVIER</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PEÑUELAS RUBIRA, JUAN L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ROYO MORAGA, JUANA</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DOMINGUEZ MuÑoz, JOSÉ A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Supervivencia y crecimiento en vivero de planta de calidad micorrizada</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">II Congreso Forestal Español</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cantharellus cibarius</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mycorrhizae Tuber melanosporum</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus faginea</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus suber</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1997</style></year></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pamplona</style></pub-location><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">551-553</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">There have been studied the quality in plants of the Quercus generus grow in container through different variable analisys including the miccorhization degree.

Predawn and midday water potentials (ffdw) on a seasonal basis, relative water content (RWC), leaf mass per area, foliar nitrogen and free proline concentrations were measured. The lowest water potentials were observed at the end of the summer, with recovery to higher water potentials in the fall and winter seasons. Species differed regarding the annual qdw fluctuation. Thymus zygis, Halimium viscosum, Genista hirsuta and Juniperus oxycedrus exhibited the most negative midday and predawn ~ w (both less than -6 MPa) with a large magnitude of response to changing conditions in soil moisture of the upper horizon of the soil. Lavandula pedunculata and Cistus ladanifer showed a moderate response. Quercus rotundifolia, Quercus faginea and Retama sphaerocarpa showed a modest response. The ~ w of different size individuals of Quercus rotundifolia and Cistus ladanifer were compared. The annual fflw fluctuation was greater in small individuals as compared to large individuals. In every species, there was an increase in proline concentration of bulk leaf tissues when predawn kVw dropped below -5 MPa. Small plants of Cistus ladanifer reached lower water potentials and also higher concentration of proline than bigger plants. Proline could possibly be used as a drought stress indicator in every species except Q. rotundifolia. It is suggested that in addition to water stress avoidance due to deep root systems, some mechanisms of water stress tolerance may operate among shrub and tree species of central Spain.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
