Global monitoring of soil multifunctionality in drylands using satellite imagery and field data
(Zoological Society of London, 2023)
Models derived from satellite image data are needed to monitor the status of terrestrial ecosystems across large spatial scales. However, a remote sensing-based approach to quantify soil multifunctionality at the global ...
Aridity Modulates N Availability in Arid and Semiarid Mediterranean Grasslands
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
While much is known about the factors that control each component of the terrestrial nitrogen (N) cycle, it is less clear how
these factors affect total N availability, the sum of organic and inorganic forms potentially ...
Effects of two water regimes on morphological traits, nutritive value and physiology of three Bituminaria bituminosa varieties from the Canary Islands
(Wiley, 2021)
Morphological traits, nutritive values and physiological responses to two different water regimes of three Bituminaria bituminosa varieties: var. albomarginata, var. crassiuscula and var. bituminosa were evaluated in a ...
Bioclimatic habitat limitations for argan trees (Argania spinosa (L.) Skeels) in Northern Africa and Spain
(Springer, 2022)
Argania spinosa L. Skeels is an Algerian-Moroccan endemic tree. This species is part of various plant communities consisting of Mediterranean, Macaronesian and Saharan floristic elements. It has been introduced and perhaps ...
Recovery of neglected species with cloud water micro condense capacity as a response to climate change: the case of Sclerophyllous Boxwoods of Buxus balearica Lam. in the Southern Spanish Mediterranean
(MDPI, 2023)
Understanding the survival needs of neglected or underutilized species (NUS) in agroforestry can offer valuable insights to mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss. This paper analyses the habitat heterogeneity of ...
Opportunities of super high-density olive orchard to improve soil quality: Management guidelines for application of pruning residues
(Elsevier, 2021)
Applying pruning residues in the lanes of olive groves has become a popular practice because it is economical and accrues benefits for soil and water management. This study presents an analysis of the impact of different ...
Growth and physiological sapling responses of eleven Quercus ilex ecotypes under identical environmental conditions
(Elsevier, 2018)
Studies with holm oak indicate that genetic variation may result in substantial differences in drought tolerance among its ecotypes. However, few trials have studied this variation under common environmental conditions. ...
Differences in the Response to Acute Drought and Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands Infection in Quercus ilex L. Seedlings
(MDPI, 2018)
The sustainability of “dehesas” is threatened by the Holm oak decline. It is thought that
the effects of root rot on plant physiology vary depending on external stress factors. Plant growth
and biomass allocation are ...
Modelling hyperspectral- and thermal-based plant traits for the early detection of Phytophthora-induced symptoms in oak decline
(Science Direct, 2021)
Holm oak decline is a complex phenomenon mainly influenced by the presence of Phytophthora cinnamomi and water stress. Plant functional traits (PTs) are altered during the decline process — initially affecting the physiological ...
Small-Scale Abiotic Factors Influencing the Spatial Distribution of Phytophthora cinnamomi under Declining Quercus ilex Trees
(MDPI, 2020)
Phytophthora root rot is considered one of the main factors associated with holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) mortality. The effectiveness and accuracy of soilborne pathogen and management could be influenced by soil spatial ...
