Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) is an important conifer from the western Mediterranean
Basin. Fire is the most significant threat to maritime pine plantations but also a disturbance …

The main objective of the present work was to review the current knowledge about the
factors that influence the different phases of the natural regeneration of maritime pine (Pinus …

The life history of Spanish pines and their relation to fire as the main disturbance factor in
their ecosystems was analysed. The primary ecological attributes studied were the canopy …

1 Canopy seed banks were analysed in post-fire stands of Pinus halepensis, P. pinaster, P.
nigra, and P. pinea. We determined age when flowering begins, age of first cone bearing …

Many studies have assumed that plant terpenes favor fire due to their enormous
flammability. However, only a few of them, all performed on green leaves, have …

Flash floods represent one of the most significant natural hazards with serious death tolls
and economic damage at a worldwide level in general and in Mediterranean mountain …

Understanding adaptive genetic responses to climate change is a main challenge for
preserving biological diversity. Successful predictive models for climate-driven range shifts …

$\bullet $ The effect of climatic variables (temperature and precipitation) on radial growth of
the Mediterranean Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) was studied using …

Optimizing the germination timing is crucial for the establishment of new generations. We
hypothesized that environmental maternal effects may be relevant in the fine tuning of this …

There is considerable evidence suggesting that jasmonates (JAs) play a role in plant
resistance against abiotic stress. It is well known that in Angiosperms JAs are involved in the …
