Our article aims at comparing the situation of the main small ruminant systems in South European regions (Spain, France, Italy and Greece), and their possible future evolution. On the average, the income of milk systems tends to be higher than meat systems thanks to a good market price. Moreover, the dependence on subsidies is greater in meat systems and in extensive systems. However, milk systems seem more sensitive to the market situation for example, Italian products in the USA and products from Greece with respect to certain foreign companies. Sheep and goat production, being frequently the only possible enterprises in less favoured areas, are often fundamental to maintaining social activities and to keep the vegetation out of danger from fire. However, in Greece and Spain some intensive systems are becoming established in the more fertile plain areas. The roads to success are rather uncertain considering the new CAP reform as nearly all these systems seem to be dependent on the important European subsidies. Nevertheless, we have identified different ways to progress according to systems and regions. Such an uncertain future could be easier to forecast if those involved in the sheep and goat sectors worked more collectively in Europe.</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%">Maga, Joseph A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Puech, Jean-Louis</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork and Alcoholic Beverages</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Food Reviews International</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alternatives</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">composition</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">production</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Properties</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">stoppers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taint</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://dx.doi.org/10.1081/FRI-200040593</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">53 - 68</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">For centuries, cork has been the stopper of choice for various alcoholic beverages.

Mediterranean forest systems have historically been coppiced to obtain charcoal. As a result of the resprouting capacity of holm oaks (Quercus ilex L.), these forests present more than 50% of their biomass below ground (stump + roots &gt; 1 cm in diameter), but the effects of thinning on the fine root system are unknown. Fine root biomass, production, mortality and longevity were studied in a control and a thinned Mediterranean holm oak forest by minirhizotron methodology. Observations of fine roots started 2 years after thinning and continued for almost 3 years. Extraction of 80% of the former basal area of the forest greatly affected carbon allocation patterns. Biomass increased by more than 100%, production increased by 76%, mortality increased by 32% and longevity decreased by around 2 weeks. The greatest differences between treatments were associated with differences in growth during autumn months in the top 40 cm of soil, particularly between 10 and 20 cm depth.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1093/treephys/23.17.121710.1093/treephys/23.17.1217</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Duran, A.

The animals were controlled weekly to determine productive yields when alive. After their slaughter, notes on carcasses and meats were taken. The males weighted more at the slaughter time and presented a better yield of the eviscerated carcass. The females showed a greater abdominal fat content and the regional composition was virtually the same in both sexes, however a greater percentage of legs was found in the males. The dissection of the inferior extremities showed a greater edible meat content in the females chickens. The organoLeptic tests (pH and water holding capacity CRA) presented relevant differences between sexes (greater pH and CRA. in the males). The comparison of the meat nutritive Value (protein and ashes) did not show relevant differences between males and females. This study shows that male and female chickens are products with similar nutritive value but distinguishable by other parameters.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;periodical: BASIS OF THE QUALITY OF TYPICAL MEDITERRANEAN ANIMAL PRODUCTS&lt;br/&gt;issue: 90&lt;br/&gt;pub-location: POSTBUS 220, 6700 AE WAGENINGEN, NETHERLANDS</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esparrago, F.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vázquez, F.
