TLDR
Budburst date and shoot elongation were measured in two mature Mediterranean evergreen oaks and their relationships with meteorological and tree water status (predawn leaf water potential) data were analysed and were relevant to the carbon balance, productivity and management of evergreen Mediterranean oak woodlands, particularly under the foreseen climate change scenarios.About:

Forest phenology and a warmer climate – growing season extension in relation to climatic provenance

TL;DR: The common garden-like experiment provides evidence that warming alone extends the growing season, at both ends, even if stand-level impacts may be complicated by variation in other environmental factors.

Cork oak pests: a review of insect damage and management
TL;DR: In this article, a survey of the current literature was performed to identify major insect pests affecting cork oak trees, as well as to establish the most promising pest management strategies under climate change.

How resilient is Quercus suber L. to cork harvesting? A review and identification of knowledge gaps
TL;DR: In this paper, a review gathers and analyzes information about tree responses to cork harvesting, concluding that the available information is still too scarce to allow for a consistent evaluation of the effects of Cork harvesting on cork oak and on its associated woodlands.

Tests of species-specific models reveal the importance of drought in postglacial range shifts of a Mediterranean-climate tree: insights from integrative distributional, demographic and coalescent modelling and ABC model selection
TL;DR: The two most probable models for explaining the patterns of genetic variation in canyon live oak share a common component, highlighting the potential importance of seasonal drought in driving historical range shifts in a temperate tree from a Mediterranean climate where summer drought is common.

TL;DR: Values of mean vessel diameter of Q. suber shoots at both sites suggest an intra-species adaptation to the local water availability, with larger vessels at the more mesic site.

Crop evapotranspiration : guidelines for computing crop water requirements
TL;DR: In this paper, an updated procedure for calculating reference and crop evapotranspiration from meteorological data and crop coefficients is presented, based on the FAO Penman-Monteith method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sap Pressure in Vascular Plants: Negative hydrostatic pressure can be measured in plants.
TL;DR: A method is described which permits measurement of sap pressure in the xylem of vascular plants, and finds that in tall conifers there is a hydrostatic pressure gradient that closely corresponds to the height and seems surprisingly little influenced by the intensity of transpiration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant Responses to Water Stress
TL;DR: The role of turgor and sensitivity to stress, as well as growth adjustments during and after stress, are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenological Patterns of Terrestrial Plants
TL;DR: Here it is reviewed the literature on phenological patterns of germination, flowering, and fruiting (including dispersal) of plants during the seasonal timing of life cycle events.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distribution of soil nutrients with depth: Global patterns and the imprint of plants
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the importance of plants in structuring the vertical distributions of soil nutrients and found that the nutrients that are most limiting for plants would have the shallowest average distributions across ecosystems, and the vertical distribution of a limiting nutrient would be shallower as the nutrient became more scarce.
