S Salleo, M A Gullo in Annals of Botany (1990)The possible role in drought resistance played by sclerophylly was evaluated in a nursery study carried out in 1988 in Messina, Italy, on holm oak (Quercus ilex), cork oak (Q. suber) and pubescent oak (Q. pubescens). Measurements of leaf conductance…Save reference to library · Related research 11 readers

Arben Q Alla, J Julio Camarero, Gabriel Montserrat-Martí in Annals of Botany (2013)Background and Aims In trees, bud development is driven by endogenous and exogenous factors such as species and climate, respectively. However, knowledge is scarce on how these factors drive changes in bud size across different time scales.Methods…Save reference to library · Related research 1 reader

Roberto Tognetti, Paolo Cherubini, Susanna Marchi, Antonio Raschi in Tree Physiology (2007)We compared the water-use characteristics of co-occurring mature Quercus cerris L. and Quercus pubescens Willd. trees growing in resource-limited (mainly water) hilly habitats in Tuscany, Italy. The species differed in their distribution along soil…Save reference to library · Related research 11 readers
