DOI: 10.1002/ps.5622
Abstract: BACKGROUND The gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, is one of the main pests of oak forests worldwide and it causes extensive defoliation during its periodic outbreaks. In the Mediterranean area, the control of gypsy moth populations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.12.002
Abstract: Cork oak (Quercus suber L.) is an emblematic component of western Mediterranean basin landscapes. Cork oak forests have always been highly appreciated by local populations for their great ecological and socio-economic value. However, the sustainability… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.03.049
Abstract: Chemical interactions in forested ecosystems play a role in driving biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics. Plant phenolics released by leaching can influence surrounding plants and soil organisms such as bacteria, fungi or arthropods. However, our knowledge… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2020.e01074
Abstract: Abstract Natural forest regeneration, i.e. self-renewal of forest stands, involves the replacement of old trees by the next generation and is influenced by environmental factors. The spatial structure of tree regeneration depends on and also… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0235320
Abstract: The flow of water in temperate forests depends on the amount of precipitation, type of soil, topographic features, and forest cover, among other factors. Unlike the first three, forest cover can be modified by silvicultural… read more here.
