DOI: 10.1007/s10980-021-01249-z
Abstract: The current expansion of forests in Europe is expected to be affected by transient colonization credits (i.e. species deficits compared to long-established forests), especially due to plant species with limited dispersal ability. We aimed to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11258-020-01034-z
Abstract: Changes in community diversity and dynamics after fires in Mediterranean ecosystems are rarely investigated more than a few years after the fire even though pronounced changes can be expected in the longer term due to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiz168
Abstract: The objective of the study was to evaluate changes in microbial communities with the predicted arrival of new species to Mediterranean forests under projected intensification of water stress conditions. For that, litter from three Mediterranean… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/hydrology8030095
Abstract: Prescribed fire is commonly used to reduce the wildfire risk in Mediterranean forests, but the soil’s hydrological response after fire is contrasting in literature experiences. The mulch treatment can limit the increases in runoff and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants11030297
Abstract: Temperature is one of the most important abiotic factors affecting seed germination, and it is strongly influenced by local site conditions. Seeds of Nothofagus glauca, an endemic and vulnerable species of the Mediterranean region of… read more here.
