Tolerance to flooding is crucial when thinking in promissory species for restoration of
ecosystems prone to suffer soil water excess. In this study, we tested the flooding tolerance …

Seedlings of baldcypress (Taxodium distichum), nuttall oak (Quercus nuttalli), and
cherrybark oak (Quercus falcata var. pagodaefolia) were subjected to four flooding …

Drought stress is the main cause of mortality of holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) seedlings in forest
plantations. We therefore assessed if drought hardening, applied in the nursery at the end of …

Forest restoration programs using Holm oak (Quercus ilex ssp. ballota [Desf.] Samp.) have
had limited success. The effect of plant provenance on plantation success is uncertain …

In order to examine the growth, morphological and physiological changes of one-year old
potted seedlings of Quercus castaneifolia, a research was performed based on completely …

The physiological mechanisms of drought-stress response in Quercus acutissima were
explored with the aim to develop potentially valuable drought-resistant species that are …

Widespread and economically important European tree species such as Norway spruce,
Scots pine, and European beech are projected to be negatively affected by the increasing …

Flooding is characterized by saturation of soil pores with water, leading to hypoxic
conditions which affect plant root development and metabolism. We investigated the oxygen …

Seasonal variations in water status and gas exchange were assessed in 2-year-old
seedlings of Quercus pubescens Willd., Quercus ithaburensis Decaisne subsp. macrolepis …

The reactions of growth and water relations to drought were tested in young plants of four
deciduous tree species (Fagus sylvatica L., Quercus petraea [M att.] L iebl., Q. pubescens W …
