Microbes inhabiting the above-and belowground tissues of forest trees and soils play a
critical role in the response of forest ecosystems to global climate change. However …

Oak forests accompanied by Cistus species are a common landscape in the Mediterranean
basin. It is argued that Cistus dominated fields serve as recruitment areas for Quercus …

The rise in wildfire frequency and severity across the globe has increased interest in
secondary succession. However, despite the role of soil microbial communities in controlling …

Landscapes of oak (Quercus) forests alternated with extensive fields dominated by
rockroses (Cistus) are widespread throughout the Mediterranean Basin. Due to the …

Prescribed fire is a critical strategy for mitigating the effects of catastrophic wildfires. While
the above‐ground response to fire has been well‐documented, fewer studies have …

Soil microbial communities are ubiquitous and essential for the functioning of the soil
system. The use of fire is a common practice in rotational shifting cultivation (RSC) to clear …

An increase in tree mortality is currently evident in forests around the world. Such mortality
could be counterbalanced by the native regeneration of seedlings. Seedling establishment …

Seedling establishment under natural conditions is limited by numerous interacting factors.
Here, we tested the combinatorial effects of drought, herbaceous competition, and …

Seedling establishment under natural conditions is often limited by numerous interacting
factors. We tested the combined effects of drought, herbaceous competition, and …

Mediterranean oak (Quercus) forests alternating with Cistus scrub are one of the most
widespread ecosystems in the Mediterranean region. Both species have a high fungal …
