Analyses confirmed Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn as a main contaminants in Siena's urban environment; only Pb concentrations decreased significantly compared to earlier surveys. Additionally, we determined chemical composition of tree leaves, litter and topsoil (underneath/outside tree crown) in urban and extra-urban oak stands. Most notably, litter in urban samples collected outside the canopy had significantly lower concentrations of organic matter and higher concentrations of Pb, Cu, Cd and Zn than litter collected underneath the canopy. There was a greater metals' accumulation in topsoil, in samples collected under the tree canopy and especially near the trunk ('stemflow area'). Thus, in urban ecosystems the Holm Oak stands likely increase the soil capability to bind metals. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

With the objective of understanding C assimilation, partitioning and remobilization in 2-year-old Quercus ilex L., those trees were exposed for 7 months to different [CO2] (elevated: 700 µmol mol−1; and ambient: 350 µmol mol−1 CO2). The 13C-isotopic composition of the ambient CO2 (ca. −12.8‰) was modified (to ca. −19.2‰) under the elevated CO2 conditions in order to analyze C allocation and partitioning before aerial biomass excision, and during the following regrowth (resprouting). Although after 7 months of growth under elevated [CO2], Q. ilex plants increased dry matter production, the absence of significant differences in photosynthetic activity suggests that such an increase was lower than expected. Nitrogen availability was not involved in photosynthetic acclimation. The removal of aboveground organs did not enable the balance between C availability and C requirements to be achieved. The isotopic characterization revealed that before the cutting, C partitioning to the stem (main C sink) prevented leaf C accumulation. During regrowth the roots were the organ with more of the labelled C. Furthermore, developing leaves had more C sink strength than shoots during this period. After the cutting, the amount of C delivered from the root to the development of aboveground organs exceeded the requirements of leaves, with the consequent carbohydrate accumulation. These findings demonstrate that, despite having a new C sink, the responsiveness of those resprouts under elevated [CO2] conditions will be strongly conditioned by the plant's capacity to use the extra C present in leaves through its allocation to other organs (roots) and processes (respiration).

The plant samples included trees (Quercus ilex, Quercus suber, and Eucalyptus cameldulensis) and one shrub (Cytisus multiflorus). All of them are characteristic of Mediterranean environments. The activity concentrations in leaves and fruit were determined for the tree species at different stages of growth. For the shrub, the total above-ground fraction was considered in three seasons. For old leaves and fruit, the highest activity concentrations were found in Eucalyptus cameldulensis for all the radionuclides studied, except in the case of (230)Th that presented similar activity concentrations in all of the tree species studied. In every case, the transfer to fruit was less than the transfer to leaves. In the shrub, the results depended on the season of sampling, with the highest value obtained in spring and the lowest in autumn. Important correlations were obtained for (238)U and (226)Ra between the activity ratio in soils with that in leaves or fruit.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;accession-num: 20153657</style></notes></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%">Abelho, Manuela</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Effects of Leaf Litter Species on Macroinvertebrate Colonization during Decomposition in a Portuguese Stream</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">International Review of Hydrobiology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">breakdown</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">colonisation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">leaves</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">river</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">shredders</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/iroh.200711019</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">93</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">358 - 371</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This study evaluated if there are differences in leaf breakdown and invertebrate colonization among tree species differing in quality (toughness), and which factors could influence these differences.

PAHs were positively correlated (P(0.01)to trace metals measured in a previous study.</style></abstract></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%">Karabourniotis, George</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bornman, Janet F.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Penetration of UV-A, UV-B and blue light through the leaf trichome layers of two xeromorphic plants, olive and oak, measured by optical fibre microprobes</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Physiologia Plantarum</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abaxial</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adaxial (voyant)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">leaves</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">light</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">trichome layers</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1999</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1999///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://dx.doi.org/10.1034/j.1399-3054.1999.105409.x</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">105</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">655 - 661</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quartz fibre-optic microprobes were used to monitor the light microenvironment beneath trichome layers of the xeromorphic leaves of two Mediterranean evergreen sclerophylls, Olea europaea and Quercus ilex.

This response is due primarily to their different morpho-anatomical structure, rather than to a difference in the synthesis of UV-B absorbing pigments (flavonoids); the response was also accompanied by microscopically observable alterations (collapse of epidermal cells, fusion of surface wax structures, structural damage to the stomata) and by the reduction of stomatal conductance</style></abstract></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%">Schwarz, A E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schwoerbel, J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The aquatic processing of sclerophyllous and malacophyllous leaves on a Mediterranean island (Corsica) : spatial and temporal pattern</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Annales de Limnologie - International Journal of Limnology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">alnus glutinosa</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">decomposition</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">leaves</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">macroinvertebrates</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediterranean ecosystem</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Temperature</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1997</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">33</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">107-119</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leaves of two species, alder (Alnus glutinosa) and holm-oak (Quercus ilex), were exposed in bags of two mesh sizes in two climatically contrasting sites of a Corsican softwater stream. Leaves were incubated both in winter and in summer for about 6 months. The field experiment was designed to determine the influence of both spatial (climate) and temporal (season) variations of temperature, as well as differences in the chemical and physical properties of sclerophyilous and malacophyllous leaves, on leaf decomposition rates. Comparisons were made between leaves colonized by macroinvertebrates and leaves protected by finemesh. In winter and summer, holm-oak leaves were colonized much less by macroinvertebrates than alder leaves. Spatial and temporal differences in leaf litter processing were mainly dependent on three factors (i) the chemical and physical properties of the leaves, (ii) the abundance of macroinvertebrates in the sediment and (iii) the temperature. The climatical pattern of temperature had a greater influence than its seasonal pattern. In contrast with many other studies, abiotic factors dominated over biotic factors in this study.</style></abstract></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%">Alfani, a</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bartoli, G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rutigliano, F. a</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maisto, G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Santo, a V.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trace metal biomonitoring in the soil and the leaves of Quercus ilex in the urban area of Naples.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biological trace element research</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Air Pollutants</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Air Pollutants: analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">biomonitoring</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">copper</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Copper: analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Environmental Monitoring</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Holly Oak</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iron</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iron: analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">lead</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lead: analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">leaves</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manganese</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manganese: analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plants</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plants: chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">seasonal dynamics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soil</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soil: analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trace Elements</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trace Elements: analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">urban area pollution</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1996</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1996///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8834387</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">51</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">117 - 131</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The concentrations of Pb, Cu, Fe, and Mn were analyzed in surface deposit and tissue of Quercus ilex leaves from several sites of the urban area of Naples, exposed to different degrees of air pollution.

Measurements were carried out on leaves less than 3 months old as well as on leaves older than 3 months by laser-induced chlorophyll fluorescence. Treatments were: control (unheated), 50°C for 30 min, and 60°C 10 min. Both for unheated and treated leaves the vitality index shows a seasonal course depending on the treatments. At 50°C the photosynthetic apparatus of leaves of the two ages is moderately affected. At 60°C the apparatus is severely damaged whatever the season and is unable to recover. The consequences for the management of Q. ilex forests in relation to some thermal stresses are considered.</style></abstract></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%">Périssol, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roux, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LEPETIT, J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SUCCESSION OF BACTERIA ATTACHED TO EVERGREEN OAK LEAF SURFACES</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SOIL BIOLOGY</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ATTACHED BACTERIA</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">leaves</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">litter</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PHYLLOPLANE</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1993</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%">29</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">167-176</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heterotrophic attached bacteria were isolated from evergreen oak leaf surfaces (Quercus ilex L.) on both phylloplane and litter at each season during one year. Few epiphytic bacteria were recovered from the phylloplane (18 %) in comparison with the litter. The data derived from the 324 strains were subjected to cluster analysis. The taxonomic structure displayed 44 phenetic groups. The bacterial communities on leaf surfaces belonged mainly to two genera: Bacillus (31 %), present on both phylloplane and litter, and Pseudomonas (35 %) present only on the litter. Some communities of Bacillus were able to degrade structural chemical components of the leaf, such as pectins or lignin monomers. The Bacillus isolates were generally more numerous in spring and in summer, i.e. during the warm seasons, whereas Pseudomonas predominated in autumn and winter. In vitro measurements of strains growth rates showed moreover that Bacillus strains grew better at 40-degrees-C than Pseudomonas strains. A climate-related factor, namely temperature, has therefore a great influence on the natural selection process of these communities. Another seasonal succession was observed, involving two genera: Xanthomonas predominant in winter and Lactobacillus in summer, as well as the Enterobacteriaceae family in autumn.</style></abstract></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%">Fernandes, J C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Henriques, F S</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Metal contamination in leaves and fruits of holm-oak (Quercus rotundifolia Lam.) trees growing in a pyrites mining area at Aljustrel, Portugal</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Water, Air, &amp; Soil Pollution</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">acorns</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">holm oak (voyant)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">leaves</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Metal pollution</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1989</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">48</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">409-415</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pyrites extraction at Aljustrel mines, south Portugal, is causing severe metal pollution of soil, water and air, leading to a growing concern with environmental degradation in the mining area and its surroundings.

Branch constitution is analized through the relation of segments and leaves. To duly recognize segments in branches, an apropiate nomenclature is used. Segments length changes from 0,2 to 11,6 cm, with an average of 2,3 cm. Two kind of shoots, long and short shoots, can be distinguished. Segment elongation tend to decrease as succesive periods accumulate. No differences in segments can be related to the period of the year in which they were developed. Leaves show heteroblastic distribution. Leave lamina has an average length of 3,3 cm and is 2,O cm wide. Petiol is very constant with an average of 0,6 cm.</style></abstract></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%">Agulló, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Collar, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seoane, E</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Free and bound hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in the cutin of Quercus suber leaves</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phytochemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cutin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fagaceae</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">free hydroxyl groups</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">hydrogenolysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">leaves</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mesyl-cutin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus suber</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1984</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2059-2060</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The number of free and bound hydroxyl and carboxyl groups of the cutin of Quercus suber leaves was investigated by the lithium borohydride hydrogenolysis of mesyl-cutin compared with the lithium borohydride hydrogenolysis of untreated cutin.
