Summary 1 Climate models predict more extreme weather in Mediterranean ecosystems,
with more frequent drought periods and torrential rainfall. These expected changes may …

Mediterranean ecosystems are water-limited and frequently also nutrient-limited. We aimed
to investigate the effects of increasing drought, as predicted by GCM and eco-physiological …

This study evaluated the change induced by the year season and by experimentally induced
drought on foliar element stoichiometry of the predominant woody species (Quercus ilex and …

Aridity has increased in recent decades in the Mediterranean Basin and is projected to
continue to increase in the coming decades. We studied the consequences of drought on …

A six-year (1999–2005) experiment of drought manipulation was conducted in a Quercus
ilex Mediterranean forest (Southern Catalonia) to simulate predicted climatic conditions …

A field experiment involving drought and warming manipulation was conducted over a 6-
year period in a Mediterranean shrubland to simulate the climate conditions projected by …

A 6-year field experiment of drought manipulation was performed in a Mediterranean forest
with the aim of determining the effects of the drought predicted by most climate and …

We conducted a 6-year field manipulation drought experiment in an evergreen Quercus ilex
forest where we simulated the drought predicted by GCM and ecophysiological models for …

Nutrient availability is a key factor in Mediterranean ecosystems that affects the primary
productivity and the community structure. The great variability of its natural availability is now …

Research Highlights: A small, long-term decrease in the water availability in a
Mediterranean holm oak forest elicited strong effects on tree stem growth, mortality, and …
