However, poorly evaluated sources of uncertainty require more scrutiny before relying heavily on models for decision-making. We evaluated uncertainty arising from differences in model formulations of tree response to climate change based on a rigorous intercomparison of projections of tree distributions in France. We compared eight models ranging from niche-based to process-based models. On average, models project large range contractions of temperate tree species in lowlands due to climate change. There was substantial disagreement between models for temperate broadleaf deciduous tree species, but differences in the capacity of models to account for rising CO2 impacts explained much of the disagreement. There was good quantitative agreement among models concerning the range contractions for Scots pine. For the dominant Mediterranean tree species, Holm oak, all models foresee substantial range expansion.</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%">Limousin, Jean-Marc</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rambal, Serge</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OURCIVAL, JEAN-MARC</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rodriguez-Calcerrada, Jesus</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pérez-Ramos, Ignacio M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rodríguez-Cortina, Raquel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Misson, Laurent</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Joffre, Richard</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morphological and phenological shoot plasticity in a Mediterranean evergreen oak facing long-term increased drought.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oecologia</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">allometry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dehydration</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Droughts</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">France</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">leaf area</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">leaf demography</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">litterfall</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Leaves</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Leaves: growth &amp; development</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Leaves: physiology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Shoots</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Shoots: growth &amp; development</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus: physiology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">shoot growth</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trees</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">169</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">565-577</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediterranean trees must adjust their canopy leaf area to the unpredictable timing and severity of summer drought.

A common pool of species was identified among the plots, which was typical of both open and closed maquis. Fire recurrence reduced the abundance of trees and herbs, whereas it increased the abundance of small shrubs. Richness differed significantly between the most contrasting classes of fire recurrence, with maximal values found in control plots and minimal values in plots that had burned recurrently and recently. Equitability indices did not vary significantly, in contrast to Shannon's diversity index which mostly correlated with richness. Forest ecosystems that have burnt once or twice in the last 50 years were resilient; that is to say they recovered a biomass and composition similar to that of the pre-fire state. However, after more than 3-4 fires, shrubland communities displayed lower species richness and diversity indices than unburned plots. The time since the last fire and the number of fires were the most explanatory fire variables, governing the structure of post-fire plant communities. However, environmental factors, such as slope or exposure, also made a significant contribution. Higher rates of fire recurrence can affect the persistence or expansion of shrublands in the future, as observed in other Mediterranean areas.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;accession-num: 22721564</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%">Grote, Rüdiger</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LAVOIR, ANNE-VIOLETTE</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rambal, Serge</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Staudt, Michael</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zimmer, Ina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schnitzler, Jörg-Peter</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Modelling the drought impact on monoterpene fluxes from an evergreen Mediterranean forest canopy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oecologia</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biological</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbon dioxide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbon Dioxide: metabolism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Computer Simulation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Drought impact</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Droughts</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">France</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Model coupling</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Models</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">monoterpene emission</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monoterpenes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monoterpenes: metabolism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">photosynthesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Photosynthesis: physiology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Leaves</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Leaves: metabolism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex (holm oak)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus: metabolism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scaling</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trees</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trees: metabolism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">water</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Water: metabolism</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">160</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">213-223</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In many ecosystems drought cycles are common during the growing season but their impact on volatile monoterpene emissions is unclear. Therefore, we aimed to develop and evaluate a process-based modelling approach to explore the explanatory power of likely mechanisms. The biochemically based isoprene and monoterpene emission model SIM-BIM2 has been modified and linked to a canopy model and a soil water balance model. Simulations are carried out for Quercus ilex forest sites and results are compared to measured soil water, photosynthesis, terpene-synthase activity, and monoterpene emission rates. Finally, the coupled model system is used to estimate the annual drought impact on photosynthesis and emission. The combined and adjusted vegetation model was able to simulate photosynthesis and monoterpene emission under dry and irrigated conditions with an R(2) of 0.74 and 0.52, respectively. We estimated an annual reduction of monoterpene emission of 67% for the extended and severe drought period in 2006 in the investigated Mediterranean ecosystem. It is concluded that process-based ecosystem models can provide a useful tool to investigate the involved mechanisms and to quantify the importance of specific environmental constraints.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19219456</style></accession-num></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%">Crochet, Jean-Yves</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gence, Jean</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boulbes, Nicolas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boutié, Paul</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cretin, Catherine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crégut-Bonnoure, Évelyne</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Duzer, Danièle</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jolly, Dominique</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Laudet, Frédéric</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lefévre, David</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mourer-Chauviré, Cécile</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rousselières, France</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thouand, Eudes</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nouvelles données paléoenvironnementales dans le Sud de la France vers 30000 ans 14C BP : le cas de la grotte Marie (Hérault)</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comptes Rendus Palevol</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">France</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marie cave</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Palaeoenvironment</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">palynology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Upper Palaeolithic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vertebrates</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wurm</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">241-251</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Marie cave, discovered to the north of Montpellier, Herault (France), has yielded a fauna of 28 vertebrates, out of which 23 are small ´ to large mammals, notably Mammuthus primigenius.

Among them, five are of major economic and ecological importance, either because of the quality and value of their wood or because of their geographic extension, or both. Two of these species are widespread in the hills and plains of the Atlantic and of the mid-European domains: Q petraea (sessile oak), and Q robur (pedunculate oak). Four are present in the Mediterranean region: Q pubescens (pubescent oak), Q ilex (holm oak), Q suber (cork oak) and Q coccifera (kermes oak). Pubescent oak is also present in the Atlantic and mid-European regions provided the local soil and climate conditions are favorable. The last species is of very limited extent and will not be considered further in this review. First, we will analyze the distributions of these species in France, as they result from the vegetation dynamics in Europe and the long-lasting action of man. Second, their synecology will be described, based on the empirical knowledge accumulated by botanists and phytoecologists. We will then describe the vegetation series to which they are related. We will next consider the results of ecophysiologal studies of the species, carried out in many laboratories in France and in other European countries. Finally, we will review the sylvicultural practices applied to oak forests, their productivity under different local conditions and the diverse products they yield.</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%">Debussche, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Isenmann, P.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BIRD-DISPERSED SEED RAIN AND SEEDLING ESTABLISHMENT IN PATCHY MEDITERRANEAN VEGETATION</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OIKOS</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">bird dispersers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">fleshy-fruited</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">France</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediterranean</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></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1994</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1994///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">69</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">414 - 426</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The composition and spatial patterns of the seed rain produced by bird dispersers and of the seedlings of fleshy-fruited plants have been studied in patchy Mediterranean vegetation in southern France. The seeds of fleshy-fruited plants were collected in seed traps during a 17-month period (1981-1983) and the fecal samples of bird dispersers mist-netted on the same 2.5-ha site over a 25-month period (1981-1984) were analysed. The locations of the 5 sets of seed traps and the 6 mist-nets were chosen in order to take into account the various plant communities and the successional gradient from old fields to Quercus ilex coppice. Seedling establishment of fleshy-fruited plants was censused in 1983 adjacent to the seed traps. In 1992 seedlings were again censused in the open coppice and in the old fields. The seeds of 38 fleshy-fruited plants were collected, including 13 alien and cultivated species. Among them, 25 species were dispersed by Sylvia atricapilla, which dispersed the most diverse and mixed seed rain of the various bird dispersers. Species richness of the seed rain increased log-linearly with seed density, ranging from 3 to 21 species per 0.25 m2. Seed density was very heterogeneous in space. The maximum density of seeds was observed under the canopy of isolated trees and saplings in the old fields (up to 829 per 0.25 m2) which are the favoured perching places for the dispersers. Minimum density was observed in the same old fields outside the canopy of these same trees and saplings (down to 12 per 0.25 m2). In the Quercus ilex coppice, the higher the canopy, the higher the seed density. Dispersal was a short distance process. A large majority of the seeds of Pyracantha coccinea and Sambucus nigra were dispersed by birds less than 100 m from the maternal plant. However, a dispersal distance of &gt; 300 m was observed for a seed of Ligustrum vulgare, In 1983 the &lt; 1 yr-old seedlings of 17 fleshy-fruited plants, including only one alien species, and the 1-2 yr-old seedlings of 7 native species were censused. Though important components of the seed rain, no 1-2 yr-old seedlings of several alien (e.g. Pyracantha coccinea) or native (e.g. Rhus coriaria) species were observed in the studied vegetation. Seedlings were more numerous under tree cover than in the coppice clearings. In the old fields, &lt; 1 yr-old seedlings were more numerous under the canopy than in open areas. No such difference was observed under saplings in 1983 and very few seedlings were observed in the old fields. The 1992 census suggested that the positive role of the cover of pioneer plants on seedling establishment progressively increased with successional development. This is probably due to an increase in the nurse effect and a decrease in the herbaceous cover under the canopy. It is suggested that. in old fields. the establishment of fleshy-fruited plants is favoured when seeds are deposited under pioneer woody plants rather than in open areas. The bird dispersers thus trigger dynamic processes initiated by the pioneer woody plants in Mediterranean old field succession. More generally, dispersal of fleshy-fruited plants by birds is more significant in the central stages of succession gradient than it is in open herbaceous communities and in dense forest when both have an homogeneous structure.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APSAPSThe following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;pub-location: 35 NORRE SOGADE, PO BOX 2148, DK-1016 COPENHAGEN, DENMARK&lt;br/&gt;publisher: MUNKSGAARD INT PUBL LTD</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%">Clamens, A.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE IMPORTANCE OF TERRITORIAL BEHAVIOR AMONG BLUE TITS (PARUS-CAERULEUS) BREEDING IN A HOLM OAK FOREST</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Revue D Ecologie-La Terre Et La Vie</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biodiversidade</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">breeding pairs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">France</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">holm oak forests</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">nest-boxes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parus caeruleus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1987</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1987///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;GotoISI&gt;://WOS:A1987H853900005</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">42</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">311 - 320</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0249-7395</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In a ringed population of Blue Tits (Parus caeruleus) living in a Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) forest of Languedoc, Southern France, and provided with artificial nest-boxes, territorial behaviour plays a major role in limiting the number of breeding pairs. The experimental removal, or the spontaneous disappearance, of a breeding pair is followed by an increase in size of the territories of the neigbouring pairs, or by the arrival of non-ringed juvenile individuals settling in the vacant territory. In a Holm Oak forest without artificial nest-boxes, territorial behaviour does not play such a role, as the major limiting factor in that case is the number of available tree-holes. Pairs of Blue Tits settled on territories where Downy Oaks (Quercus pubescens) are mixed with Holm Oaks, lay their eggs four days earlier on the average, than Blue Tits breeding in pure Holm Oak forest. However, the number of fledglings per brood, and their body weight at 15 days of age, tend to be smaller. The benefit of a later laying date in pure Holm Oak forest quite likely lies in a better synchronization of the maximum nutritional requirements of the young, and of the period of maximum food availability in the environment.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APSAPSThe following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;label: Biodiversidade</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%">Bonin, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aubert, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbero, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gamisans, J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mise en évidence de la dynamique de quelques écosystèmes forestiers et préforestiers provençaux aux étages méditerranéens SL à l'aide des taxons indicateurs</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%">Analyse des correspondances</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ecosyst~mes forestiers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">France</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Provence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Successions dynamiques</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1983</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">54</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">79-96</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Evidence is presented for dynamic successions in the Provence on the basis of a multivariate analysis, of a very large sample. Different phases in the Quercus suber series on silicious substrate are shown. Also the evolution of the vegetation groupings on Ventoux and Sainte-Baume mountains on calcareous substrate and at different levels in the zonation is specified. The succession of the grasslands is as follows: Isoetes and Nasturtium groupings, Serapias, Lotus and Trifolium, then Vulpia and Aira groupings, and finally Helianthemum guttatum grasslands, preceding the shrub groupings: Cistus ladaniferus, then Cistus albidus and Cistus monspeliensis. Then follow either Erica and Calluna maquis or Quercus suber formations. On Mont Ventoux, the stages of degradation of the Quercus pubescens forests are Aphyllantes and Thymus vulgaris grasslands, and Buxus sempervirens and Genista scorpius scrubs. On the oromediterranean level, the transition from Avena setacea and Galium villarsii grasslands, then Ononis caenisia grasslands to Pinus uncinata forests is demonstrated. The development of reforestation is predicted on the basis of the floristic composition of the previous stages. On Sainte-Baume Mountain, the Quercuspubescens supramediterranean series is formed by the following stages: low scrubs of the Lavandulo-Astragaletum, and Prunus mahaleb and Phillyrea media, Acer monspes- sulanum groves, and forests with prevailing Quercuspubescens. The succession on rocky traverses and crests is slightly different. The first stages are Sesleria grasslands and the later ones are woodland groupings of Tilia platyphyllos, Acer opalus and llex aquifolium.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
