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 ...

In the study were presented data for comparison of antibacterial activities between long time stored acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), multifloral and oak (Quercus spp.) honeydew honeys towards Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 9144). The results showed that the antibacterial activity of oak honeydew and multifloral honeys was much higher in comparison with acacia honeys with the lowest antibacterial...
