Abstract Background In the Mediterranean climate, plants have evolved under conditions of
low soil-water and nutrient availabilities and have acquired a series of adaptive traits that, in …

The theory and use of geochemical modeling of the long-term carbon cycle and four paleo-
PCO2 proxies are reviewed and discussed in order to discern the best applications for each …

This book provides comprehensive single source coverage of bioindication/biomonitoring in
the fields of ecology, ecotoxicology and environmental sciences; from the ecological basics …

Long‐term exposure of plants to elevated [CO2] leads to a number of growth and
physiological effects, many of which are interpreted in the context of ameliorating the …

Plant hydraulic conductance, namely the rate of water flow inside plants per unit time and
unit pressure difference, varies largely from plant to plant and under different environmental …

Some anatomical characteristics in leaves relating to hydraulic conductance and stomatal
conductance were examined in six temperate deciduous tree species. The fourth power of …

We analysed the impact of elevated CO2 on water relations, water use efficiency and
photosynthetic gas exchange in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) under wet and drying soil …

Summary 1 This account reviews information on all aspects of the biology of Juniperus

Climate change is expected to increase temperatures and lower rainfall in Mediterranean
regions; however, there is a great degree of uncertainty as to the amount of change. This …

Second‐generation, dedicated lignocellulosic crops for bioenergy are being hailed as the
