Large‐scale facilitative effects for a single nurse shrub: impact of the rainfall gradient, plant community and distribution across a geographical barrier
Importance of nurse plants structuring plant communities is well‐appreciated at local scales,
yet the effect of a single nurse on large scales has been neglected in analyses. So far …

Unraveling the relative importance of factors driving post-fire regeneration trajectories in non-serotinous Pinus nigra forests
S Martín-Alcón, L Coll - Forest Ecology and Management, 2016 - Elsevier
In the Mediterranean, non-serotinous pinewoods are suffering an increasing occurrence of
high-severity crown fires that usually drive vegetation shifts to fire-adapted communities and …

Interactions between climate, growth and seed production in Spanish black pine (Pinus nigra Arn. ssp. salzmannii) forests in Cuenca Mountains (Spain)
ME Lucas-Borja, G Vacchiano - New Forests, 2018 - Springer
Tree growth is regulated by a combination of exogenous and endogenous factors. Such
factors also interact with each other, complicating the understanding of causal links. IN …
