Because of important past anthropic perturbations, green oak old-growth forests are very unfrequent and constitute, for that reason, a most interesting domain where to analyze the natural evolution of green oak stands. Such forests exist in Corsica and this study deals with vegetation successions as they occur in naturally occuring gaps. Because of the taxonomic poorness (32 species), two statistical tools (canonical correspondence analysis and random permutations) were used to take into account vegetation spatial structure according to types (herbaceous, shrubby, or arborescent). These statistical analyses show that plant succession does not really exist in gaps of green oak old-growth forests but rather a structural organization of common species found in the maquis. Results support the hypothesis about the internal dynamics of these forests going through a maquis phase.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;pub-location: RESEARCH JOURNALS, MONTREAL RD, OTTAWA, ONTARIO K1A 0R6, CANADA&lt;br/&gt;publisher: NATL RESEARCH COUNCIL CANADA</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%">Floret, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Galan, M.

Until recently, clearcutting of wood for domestic use was carried out every 20 years or so in these coppice stands. In order to study coppice stand dynamics after cutting this paper presents results of observations of some items describing the vegetation structure, the floral composition, and the life cycles in a holm oak coppice stand during a six year period after clearcutting. One of the questions addressed in this study was whether these coppice stands reach a 'steady' state based on auto-succession, or if they continue to change. The results of the floristic changes after cutting suggest that the model of auto-succession best fits with the vegetation dynamics, even if changes in the density and life cycles of herbaceous species still exist six years after clearcutting.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
