Time series analysis can identify outliers in tree-ring widths that may not only indicate past disturbances, but may also estimate the subsequent effe cts of these disturbances on tree growth. Findin g a way to isolate these disturbance signals from tree-ring time series could have broad applications in forest ecology and management. Time series outliers may be expressed as pulse, step, or tren...

We studied the interactions involving oak acorns and associated arthropods focusing on role of introduced Quercus rubra in Italy. conducted our study areas where native oaks coexist with Q. rubra. carried out a survey inhabiting fallen colonisation experiment. Furthermore, we laboratory experiments documenting among most abundant arthropod species Acorns were colonised by ant carpophagous insec...

In the Mediterranean, mixed forests of Aleppo pine and holm oak are widespread. Generally considered a transition stage in succession towards climax communities, niche segregation may also contribute to prevalence these communities. So far, there is increasing evidence hydrological segregation, with two species showing complementary water use seasonal growth patterns. However, it remains unknow...

A total of 62 coast live oaks (Quercus agrifolia) were monitored since they were initially boxed for transplantation in 1993. At that time, only branches injured during the moving process and deadwood were removed, leaving the entire canopy intact. This was a departure from the usual transplanting methodology that traditionally removes up to 70 percent of the canopy in order to compensate for t...

Quercus species (oaks) have been an integral part of the landscape in northern hemisphere for millions years. Their ability to adapt and spread across different environments their contributions many ecosystem services is well documented. Human activity has placed oak peril by eliminating or adversely modifying habitats through exploitative land usage practices that exacerbated climate change. T...
