• Unravelling the diversity of soil fungal and oomycete communities in the Quercus ilex L. rhizosphere of dehesa grasslands: a metabarcoding approach 

  Onoszko, K.; González Moreno, Pablo; Ruiz-Gómez, Francisco José (Springer Nature, 2025)

  Background and aims: Soil microbial communities are vital for ecosystem function and biodiversity, yet their composition and drivers in Mediterranean agroforestry systems remain underexplored. This study characterizes ...

• Leaf functional traits as browsing indicators in understory woody species of Mediterranean forests 

  Rodríguez-Castilla, Ginés; Carpio, Antonio J.; Bastias, Cristina C.; Salazar-Zarzosa, Pablo César; Díaz Herráiz, Aurelio; Quero, José L.; Villar, Rafael (Elsevier, 2025)

  Herbivory by vertebrate browsers plays a critical role in shaping the structure and dynamics of understory communities of Mediterranean forests. However, understanding how browsing intensity is influenced by environmental ...

• Evaluating hedgerow implantation with native species in Mediterranean agricultural landscapes: implications for CAP environmental measures—a case study in southern Spain 

  Montoliu, Javier; Gómez, José A.; Guzmán, Gema; Lora González, Ángel; Mora Jordano, José; Soriano, María Auxiliadora (Springer Nature, 2025)

  In this study, seventeen hedgerows (4 × 20 m; composed of trees, shrubs and bushes) were established in an experimental agricultural field in southern Spain, combining different planting and management techniques: pre-planting ...

• The effects of landscape history and time-lags on plant invasion in Mediterranean coastal habitats 

  González Moreno, Pablo; Pino, Joan; Cózar, Andrés; García-de-Lomas, Juan; Vilà, Montserrat (Springer Nature, 2017)

  Human-driven landscape changes may promote plant invasions by increasing propagule pressure and providing favourable conditions for non-native species to establish and spread. The increase in invasion levels might not be ...

• Interannual climatic suitability based on species distribution models predicts European beech growth at its southern range margin 

  Hernández Lambraño, Ricardo Enrique; Solano-Florián, Daniel; González Moreno, Pablo; Navarro-Cerrillo, Rafael M.; Sánchez Agudo, José Ángel (Elsevier, 2026)

  Understanding how climatic variability influences forest growth is essential for anticipating species responses under a warming climate. Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to assess climatic suitability, ...
