All studies were done with dynamic cuvettes enclosing intact branches at the top of the canopy flushed with ambient air. Daily trends are compared with the photosynthetic active radiation (PAR), leaf temperature and the physiological activities of the enclosed branches, i.e. assimilation and transpiration, with special attention on the carbon budget. Oak emits monoterpenes in high amounts, up to 2% of the assimilated carbon. As compared with monoterpenes, short-chained organic acids and aldehydes are of minor importance for oak. However, on a leaf dry-weight basis equal amounts of acids and aldehydes are released from oak and pine. As pine emitted only low amounts of terpenes (below 0.2% of the assimilated carbon) the release of terpenes and oxygenated compounds is of equal importance for this species. A comparison of a modelled light and temperature driven emission with the observed volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions showed good agreement for monoterpenes as well as for organic acids emitted in the case of oak. For pine only the release of acids showed an adequate relation to the algorithm data, whereas the terpene emissions seemed to be dominated by temperature effects</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%">Yacine, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bouras, F</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Self- and cross-pollination effects on pollen tube growth and seed set in holm oak Quercus ilex L (Fagaceae)</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann.

Low air temperature is the limiting factor for bud opening, while high air temperature influences specific leaf area (SLA) during the growth period. Net photosynthesis and stomatal conductance increase with a rise in leaf temperature up to 25 degrees C; whereas they decrease when leaf temperature is about 30 degrees C (at the end of May) and below 18 degrees C (November). SLA increases from the low maquis to the shrubby layer of the forest in response to the decreasing irradiance. The pattern of SLA shows peak values after bud break, which then decrease to a constant value. Shrubs in the evergreen forest exhibit a high SLA in May as a result of a double increase in leaf area, while leaf dry weight changes only slighly during the first expansion. The maximum relative growth rate (RGR) in May-June causes the leaf to reach about 90% of its definitive size and structure before the period of drought stress, ensuring that leaf expansion (the time of the greatest nutritional demand) is not adversely affected. The summer air temperatures reduce the relative growth rate, but do not completely block leaf expansion until September-October. Intraspecific variation of SLA reflects the phenotypic plasticity of Quercus ilex in different habitats and demonstrates its ability to respond adequately to changing environmental factors by altering leaf morphology.</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%">Alfani, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maisto, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iovieno, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rutigliano, Flora a</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bartoli, Giovanni</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leaf Contamination by Atmospheric Pollutants as Assessed by Elemental Analysis of Leaf Tissue, Leaf Surface Deposit and Soil</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Plant Physiology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">air pollution</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">leaf contamination</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">nitrogen</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex L</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">sulphur</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trace metals</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1996</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1996///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S017616179680321X</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">148</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">243 - 248</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In order to evaluate the influence of air pollutants influx on leaf elemental composition, the concentration ofN, S, Cu, Fe and Pb were analyzed in the surface deposit and tissue of Quercus ilex L. leaves from 8 sites of the urban area of Naples.

The latent heat flux was estimated by applying the Bowen ratio-energy budget micrometeorological method. A linear relationship was found between rc and the vapour pressure deficit. Canopy resistance increased regularly during the day and that yielded a recurring diurnal pattern of energy partitioning where most of the latent heat was dissipated in the early morning and the release of sensible heat increased after midday. This behaviour has been confirmed also by independent estimates of transpiration, based on measurements of sap flow velocity in small branches.

Daily water loss was 3.5 mm day ~, with a peak rate near 0.6 mm hour ~. The phenomenon of thermal inversion, quite common in mediterranean climates, seemed to play a significant role in reducing evapotranspiration, by promoting dew formation and delaying the establishment of fluxes of latent and sensible heat away from the canopy. Dew, which may form over many hours in the night, appears to be a major sink of available energy in the early morning and may represent a useful water source for stressed foliage. The alternating processes of condensation and evaporation may have a beneficial effect on the closed stand micro-environment.</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%">Ducrey, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Turrel, M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Influence of cutting methods and dates on stump sprouting in Holm oak (Quercus ilex L) coppice</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann.

Four cutting methods were compared: chain saw at ground level and at 15 cm above ground, axe, and 'saut du piquet' ('stump breaking'). Cuttings were carried out every 2 months for a period of 1 year. Several important results can be described 4 years after cutting. Cuttings performed during the dormant season resulted in minimum stool mortality, and maximum new sprout number, height and diameter growth. An exception was cutting made during a winter frost period. Summer cuttings led to the poorest growth which, however, tended to be regained in subsequent years. Axe and chain saw cuttings yielded better results than 'saut du piquet' cutting. This last method resulted in high stool mortality and both fewer and smaller sprouts. Sprouts appeared to be more numerous and grew better when the stools initially had large and numerous shoots.</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%">LEONARDI, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rapp, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DENES, A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organic matter distribution and fluxes within a holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) stand in the Etna volcano</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Ecology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediterranean forests</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">organic matter cycling</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex L</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1992</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">99-100</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">219-224</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Located at 1100 m above sea level, on the western site of the Etna volcano, the ecophysiology of the Mount Minardo holm oak coppice has been investigated for more then twenty years.

Diameter growth of Quercus ilex L, the dominant sclerophyllous species in much of the Mediterranean basin vegetation, was studied in relation to precipitation and temperature. The study site in Montpellier (Southern France) has a Mediterranean climate. Eleven trees, grown from acorns in 1963, were cut in 1984 and the rings studied at 3 levels (ground, 0.5 and 1 m above the ground). The data were analyzed by the ARMA procedure which gives the part of the total variation due to the autocorrelation processes. A multiple regression between the factors of a principal component analysis (PCA) of the monthly climatic data (rainfall and temperature) and the residuals issuing from the ARMA procedure then suggested that the large annual rings were due to a particular rainfall distribution during the year, the late summer precipitation promoting a large annual growth diameter (table II). The presence or absence of false rings (table I) was also analyzed by PCA (figs 2 and 3). The false rings were positively correlated to a large annual growth diameter corresponding to a high summer rainfall (fig 4), while the relationship with the temperature preceding the growing season was negative. It therefore appears that this species is relatively unaffected by spring climatic conditions, ie which generally indicate the main growth phase, but that it is able to take advantage of the interannual climatic variations of the region.</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%">Merzouki, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lossaint, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Billes, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rapp, M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">L'impact du déboisement sur l'azote minéral susceptible d'être absorbé par un taillis de chêne vert (Quercus ilex L) en reconstitution</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann.

Part of the study involved the estimation of the amount of nitrogen available for vegetation both in the mature holm oak coppice and in the 1-2-yr-old recovery stand. The study indicates that the new shoots essentially took up nitrate nitrogen; however, the mature site used both nitrate and ammonium nitrogen as nitrogen source. The availability of mineral nitrogen, essentially nitrate, ranged from 47.4 to 118.6 kg·ha -1·yr-1 in the rebuilding site and 25.6 to 63.9 kg·ha-1·yr-1 in the mature stand.
