Abstract Purpose of Review In this review, we synthesise current knowledge on trade-offs among traits in key fitness dimensions and identify major research gaps with the intention laying groundwork for a rapid advance tree breeding multiple objectives as contribution to sustainability planted forests future. Recent Findings Trade-offs growth, reproduction, defence, stress tolerance product quality predicted theoretically have been reported experimentally many programmes. Among these...
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Serotiny, the maintenance of ripe seeds in closed fruits or cones until fire causes dehiscence, is a key adaptive trait plants fire‐prone ecosystems, but knowledge phenotypic plasticity for cone retention woody extremely scarce. On basis published literature and our field observations, we hypothesized that increased aridity might decrease aerial seed bank as plastic response, not necessarily adaptive. METHODS: We used Pinus halepensis common garden replicated three...
Serotiny is an important adaptation for plants in fire-prone environments. However, different mechanisms also induce the opening of serotinous cones absence fire variably species. Xeriscence -cone driven by dry and hot conditions- considered to be mediated only external environment, but endogenous factors could play a significant role. Using Pinus halepensis as our model species, we determined effects cone age scales density opening, using in-situ ex-situ manipulative experiments...
Bark thickness is a key structural feature in woody plants the protection against fire. We used 19 provenances of Pinus halepensis, an obligate-seeder species, replicated common garden at two environments contrasting water availability to assess interacting effects site environment and population relative allocation bark, expecting lower drier site. Secondly, given average fire frequency, we analyzed whether trees reached critical absolute soon enough for persistence via aerial seed bank....
Although soil phosphorus is essential for vegetation growth it not always found in labile forms, hampering its absorption by plants, and limited forest ecosystems. This study explores P state availability calcareous soils, determining which processes affect different pools parameters influence productivity of a Mediterranean pine species. We used sequential fractionation method to determine fractions the according their lability organic or inorganic nature. Those were related climatic site...
