The comparison was limited to the leaf com- partment and to the annual shoots, which were the only con]parable compartments in the two situations. At the same time, the dynamics of the nutrient pool (N, P, K, Ca, Mg), monthly uptake and recycling from the foliage, were studied. The second year after cutting, the leaf production was roughly the same at the two sites. However, the photosynthates appear to be used differently: in the young stand the perennial wood production was greater than in the mature stand, where the maintenance costs are higher. This is corroborated by the patterns of nutrient use.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BIOMASS PRODUCTION AND NUTRIENT REQUIREMENT DURING RESTORATION OF A HOLM OAK COPPICE</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACTA OECOLOGICA-INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1990</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GAUTHIER-VILLARS</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">S P E S-JOURNAL DEPT, 120 BD ST GERMAIN, F-75006 PARIS, FRANCE</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">819-834</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The restoration of a holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) coppice was studied during three years following a clear-cut. Leaf area rebuilding, above-ground biomass production and nutrient requirement are especially studied. The new produced above-ground biomass amounts respectively to 151, 913 and 2 161 g m-2, one, two and three years after clear-cut. Leaf area index, at the same ages, amounts respectively to 0,3-1,9 and 4,4 m2/m2. The last value is nearly the same as those of the 30 year old coppice stand (4,4 m2/m2). The biomass increment corresponds to a current yearly above-ground productivity of 165, 748 and 1 248 g m-2 of fresh material during these three years. The mean annual above-ground production, calculated over thirty years, only amounts to 800 g m-2. Concerning nutrients, it seems that the early years are characterized by a higher requirement of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in comparison to the mature stand. The needs for calcium start to be important only after the third year, with the reappearance of ``stems{''} and later trunks.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">L'impact du déboisement sur l'azote minéral susceptible d'être absorbé par un taillis de chêne vert (Quercus ilex L) en reconstitution</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann.

The impact of deforestation on the biological activity of a mediterranean red soil was studied from January 1984 to April 1986 within a holm oak (Quercus ilex L) stand after clearcut. Part of the study involved the estimation of the amount of nitrogen available for vegetation both in the mature holm oak coppice and in the 1-2-yr-old recovery stand. The study indicates that the new shoots essentially took up nitrate nitrogen; however, the mature site used both nitrate and ammonium nitrogen as nitrogen source. The availability of mineral nitrogen, essentially nitrate, ranged from 47.4 to 118.6 kg·ha -1·yr-1 in the rebuilding site and 25.6 to 63.9 kg·ha-1·yr-1 in the mature stand. At the control site, ammonium nitrogen represented 43% of the total nitrogen available.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LITTER PRODUCTION AND MINERAL ELEMENT SUPPLY TO SOIL IN 2 MEDITERRANEAN ECOSYSTEMS - QUERCUS-ILEX FOREST AND QUERCUS-COCCIFERA GARRIGUE</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OECOLOGIA PLANTARUM</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1969</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GAUTHIER-VILLARS/EDITIONS ELSEVIER</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23 RUE LINOIS, 75015 PARIS, FRANCE</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">377--&amp;</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APS</style></notes><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APS</style></research-notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RETURN OF MINERAL ELEMENTS TO SOIL BY RAINWATER LEACHING CANOPIES OF QUERCUS ILEX L QUERCUS LANUGINOSA LAMK AND PINUS HALEPENSIS MILL WOODS</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OECOLOGIA PLANTARUM</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1969</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GAUTHIER-VILLARS/EDITIONS ELSEVIER</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23 RUE LINOIS, 75015 PARIS, FRANCE</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">71--&amp;</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APS</style></notes><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APS</style></research-notes></record></records></xml>
