The monomeric composition of the extracts differed significantly: for the 0.05% NaOMe, only alkanoic acids and diacids were found; the yield of v-hydroxy acids increased with reactant concentration, as well as alkanols and ferulic acid. Results from light scattering, SEC and MALDI-MS showed that soluble oligomeric fragments containing suberinic acids were present in the methanolysis mixture. The molecular weight of these oligomeric fragments decreased with higher sodium methanolate concentrations.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costa, A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pereira, H.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oliveira, A.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A dendroclimatological approach to diameter growth in adult cork-oak trees under production</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trees</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">climatic fluctuations</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">dendroclimatology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">diameter growth</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediterranean climate</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus suber L.</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2001</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2001///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.springerlink.com/index/10.1007/s004680100119</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">438 - 443</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The diameter growth of mature cork oaks under cork production in southwestern Portugal was studied during a 9-year cork-production cycle in relation to fluctuations in precipitation and temperature, and to drought indices combining the two variables. A dendroclimatological approach was applied to the series of 8 complete years contained in the cork-production cycle and growth effects were removed by standardization and calculation of annual growth indices. The most important factor positively influencing diameter growth was cumulative precipitation in the growing season (January–June) and in the previous autumn and winter (October/November of the previous year–June). The monthly temperature is a less influential factor, negatively correlated with diameter growth in high summer drought (August) and positively correlated at the beginning of physiological activity (March).</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue></record></records></xml>
