Plasticity in Dendroclimatic Response across the Distribution Range of Aleppo Pine (Pinus halepensis)
We investigated the variability of the climate-growth relationship of Aleppo pine across its
distribution range in the Mediterranean Basin. We constructed a network of tree-ring index …

To grow or to seed: ecotypic variation in reproductive allocation and cone production by young female Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis, Pinaceae)
Age and size at the first reproduction and the reproductive allocation of plants are linked to
different life history strategies. Aleppo pine only reproduces through seed, and, as such …
