The forest system “montado” is mostly dominated by Mediterranean evergreen oaks such as cork oak (Quercus suber L.) and holm oak (Quercus rotundifolia). The “montado” production system management aims the maintenance of a balanced sustainable land use to cope with the Mediterranean climate variability. One important issue in cork oak forests is the control shrub growth in order to prevent forest fire hazard, which is of high risk in Mediterranean climate. The two most common ways of controlling the shrub component is by mechanical destruction with soil disking (that implicates soil mobilization) or by shrub cutting (that is done with minimum impact on soil). The two referred techniques have different costs and different impacts on cork production and other goods and services (multifunctionality) of cork oak forests. In this paper, the two shrub control systems are compared and the results show that, although soil disking is more profitable than shrub cutting, the results are reversed, if one considers the carbon sequestration. This means that besides the great economic sustainability of cork oak dependence on the price of cork, the profitability of different shrub control methods depend also on the way society valuates other goods and services provided by cork oak forest</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;secondary-title: International Journal of …&lt;br/&gt;periodical: International Journal of …&lt;br/&gt;electronic-resource-num: 10.1504/IJSSOC.2008.022571</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%">Garcia, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carvalho, P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sergio, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sim-Sim, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diogo, A.</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marchetti, M.</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epiphytic bryophytes and lichens in Quercus rotundifolia Lam. woodlands of Portugal and their value as ecological indicators</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monitoring and Indicators of Forest Biodiversity in Europe - From Ideas to Operationality</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">bryophytes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ecological indicators</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">lichens</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Portugal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TWINSPAN</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">woodlands</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><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">EUROPEAN FOREST INSTITUTE</style></publisher><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">271 - 283</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">952-5453-04-9</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The epiphytic bryophyte and lichen vegetation in Quercus rotundifolia woodlands in Portugal and its dependence on a number of environmental variables were investigated in six sites of Portugal. 36 bryophyte (32 mosses, 4 liverworts) and 105 lichens were found. Multivariate analysis was used to examine the epiphytic bryophyte and lichen composition of these woodlands. TWINSPAN and Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) recognized four major groups of bryophytes and lichens species, one related to pastoral woodlands, another to altitudinal woodlands, a third one to the woodlands under Atlantic influence and a fourth with generalist species. Differences in bryophyte and lichen species composition and cover in the studied areas were attributed mainly to distinct humidity, precipitation, evapotranspiration and insolation levels. The bryophytes Leucodon sciuroides, Frullania dilatata, and the lichen Evernia prunastri presented the highest cover values. A very rare bryophyte species Zygodon forsteri, included in the European Red Data Book, was found. Obtained results are a good basis to improve methods based on bryophytes and lichens as bio-indicators of forest biodiversity.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;periodical: Monitoring and Indicators of Forest Biodiversity in Europe - From Ideas to Operationality&lt;br/&gt;issue: 51&lt;br/&gt;pub-location: TORIKATU 34, FIN-80100 JOENSUU, FINLAND</style></notes></record></records></xml>
