Phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation in leaf ecophysiological traits of 13 contrasting cork oak populations under different water availabilities.
Plants distributed across a wide range of environmental conditions are submitted to differential selective pressures. Long-term selection can lead to the development of adaptations to the local environment, generating ecotypic differentiation. Additionally, plant species can cope with this environmental variability by phenotypic plasticity. In this study, we examine the importance of both proce...
متن کاملUse and assessment of the ‘new’ rural functions by land- users and landowners of the Montado in Southern Portugal
The aim of the study presented here is to contribute to knowledge about how the Montado supports ‘new’ rural functions, connected to leisure and recreation activities, and how these can be improved. The Montado is an agrosilvopastoral system dominant in Southern Portugal. Due to its various types of uses, the Montado is recognizedly a multifunctional landscape, though future management conditio...
متن کاملA Case Study of Carbon Pools under Three Different Land-uses in Panamá
This paper examines changes in carbon (C) pools associated with land-use, synthesizing data from two experiments dealing with different aspects of tree plantation establishment in Central Panamá. First, we analysed soil profiles in a grazed pasture and an adjacent 5-year-old teak (Tectona grandis) plantation. There were small differences in soil C mass in the top 10 cm of the pasture and the pl...
متن کاملEconomic implications of different cork oak forest management systems
The agro-silvopastoral 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 ...
متن کاملVertical Distribution of Bacterivorous Nematodes under Different Land Uses.
The vertical distribution of dominant genera of bacterivorous nematodes to 150-cm depth in an aquic brown soil was compared after 14 years of four contrasting land uses, i.e., cropland-rice (CR), cropland-maize (CM), abandoned cropland (AC), and woodland (WL). The study was conducted at the Shenyang Experimental Station of Ecology, a Chinese Ecosystem Research Network (CERN) site in Northeast C...
