Key message Cork oak decline is widespread in all its distribution range and seems to be
triggered mainly by both mismanagement and unfavorable climatic factors. As a result, cork …

In Mediterranean climate areas, the available scenarios for climate change suggest an
increase in the frequency of heat waves and severe drought in summer. Grapevine (Vitis …

Predicting forest responses to warming climates relies on assumptions about niche and
temperature sensitivity that remain largely untested. Observational studies have related …

Abstract Background and Aims Flowering is a key process in the life cycle of a plant. Climate
change is shifting flowering phenologies in the Northern Hemisphere, but studies with long …

Cork oak (Quercus suber L.) woodlands are ecologically sensitive and human-supported
areas which strongly rely on the high market value of cork for their sustainability. Cork …

Most recent studies relating to the classification of vegetation species on the individual level
use cutting-edge sensors and follow a data-driven approach, aimed at maximizing …

Although phenology and growth traits of leaves or woods have been the focus of research
on growth-climate relationships, more is needed regarding whether there is a consistent …

The flowering period of plants is a critical time since it determines their reproductive success.
Flowering is controlled by different factors including genetic regulation and environmental …

Modelling the distribution of migratory species has rarely been extended beyond breeding
and wintering ranges despite many species showing much more complex movement …

Aim of the study: Water scarcity is the main limitation to forest growth and tree survival in the
Mediterranean hot climate zone. This paper reviews literature on the relations between …
