Drought-induced oak decline in the western Mediterranean region: an overview on current evidences, mechanisms and management options to improve forest resilience (2017, background): “At the same time too warm spring conditions seem to constrain more the radial growth of deciduous oak species as compared with evergreen oaks, since usually the former have an earlier onset of shoot and leaf development than the latter which are able to grow in summer (Montserrat-Martí et al. 2009).”
Impacts of drought at different time scales on forest growth across a wide climatic gradient in north-eastern Spain (2011, background): “The high level of dependence on water vailability of north-eastern Spanish forests has been also reported efore mainly in pine and oaks species (Corcuera et al., 2004a,b; ndreu et al., 2007; Montserrat-Martí et al., 2009; Gutiérrez et al., 011).”
The role of crown architecture, leaf phenology and photosynthetic activity in promoting complementary use of light among coexisting species in temperate forests (2010, background): “The difference in leaf phenology contributes to the coexistence of evergreen and deciduous Quercus species in dry Mediterranean forest (Montserrat-Marti et al. 2009).”
