Treatments named as dry, ambient and wet, which received 80, 100 and 120% of the annual precipitation, respectively, were applied to a Mediterranean woodland in southern Portugal. Tree ecophysiology and growth were monitored from 2003 to 2005. The impacts of the water manipulation were primarily observed in tree transpiration, especially dur- ing summer drought. Rainfall exclusion reduced the annual stand canopy transpiration by 10% over the 2-year study period, while irrigation increased it by 11%. The accumulated tree transpiration matched precipitation in spring 2004 and 2005 at the stand level, suggesting that cork oak trees rely on precip- itation water sources during the peak of the growing season. However, during the summer droughts, by trees appeared unaffected by the extreme drought of 2005. Our study shows that cork oak rapidly and completely recovered from the extreme dry year of 2005 or from rainfall exclusion. Our results support the eco-hydrological equilibrium theory by which plant acquire complementary protective mechanisms to buffer the large variability in water availability experienced in semi-arid ecosystems. In optimizing their structural biomass increase in response to increasing drought stress, cork oak trees succeeded in restricting water losses to maintain the minimum leaf water potential above the critical threshold of xylem embolism, though with narrower hydraulic safety margins in 2005. Our findings highlight cork oak’s sensitivity to the amount and timing of late spring precipitation. This could be critical as future climate scenarios predict a reduction of spring precipitation as well as enhanced severity of droughts in the Iberian Peninsula by the end of the 21st century. In inducing water stress before the onset of summer droughts, the predicted spring precipitation decline could drive the species closer to the threshold of catastrophic xylem embolism at the peak of the drought period. groundwater was the main water source for trees. Despite the significant differences in soil water content and tree transpiration, no treatment effects could be detected in leaf water potential and leaf gas exchange, except for a single event after spring irri- gations in the very dry year 2005. These irrigations were intentionally delayed to reduce dry spell duration during the peak of tree growing season. They resulted in an acute positive physiological response of trees from the wet treatment one week after the last irrigation event leading to a 32% raise of stem diame- ter increment the following months. Our results suggest that in a semi-arid environment precipitation changes in spring (amount and timing) have a stronger impact on cork oak physiology and growth than an overall change in the total annual precipitation. The extreme drought of 2005 had a negative impact on tree growth. The annual increment of tree trunk diameter in the ambient and dry treatments was reduced, while it increased for trees from the wet treatment. Water shortage also significantly reduced leaf area. The latter dropped by 10.4% in response to the extreme drought of 2005 in trees from the ambient treatment. The reduction was less pronounced in trees of the wet treatment (−7.6%), and more pronounced in trees of the dry treatment (−14.7%). Cork oak showed high resiliency to inter-annual precipitation variability.

We conducted an experiment using open-top chambers to analyze these possible effects on two leguminous species of Mediterranean pastures that are known to have different O3 sensitivity, Ornithopus compressus and Trifolium striatum. O3 exposure and N fertilization did not affect the photosynthetic rates of O. compressus and T. striatum, although O3 tended to induce an increase in the stomatal conductance of both species, especially T. striatum, the most sensitive species. O3 and N soil availability reduced the emission of terpenes in O. compressus and T. striatum.

Two-year-old seedlings were continuously exposed for 26 months in open-top chambers to three O3 treatments: charcoal filtered air, non-filtered air and non-filtered air supplemented with 40 nl·l−1 O3. Additionally, two irrigation regimes were adopted: half of the plants were well-watered and the others received half of the water supplied to control plants. Growth, shoot water potential and gas exchange rates were assessed seasonally, and biomass accumulation was determined at the end of the experiment. Drought stress caused higher reductions of gas exchange, growth and biomass accumulation than O3 exposure in both subspecies. The combination of O3 and drought stress caused further decreases of accumulated aboveground biomass but no additive effects were observed on gas exchange rates or root biomass. Thus, drought stress did not protect Q. ilex from O3 effects on biomass when the response of the whole plant was considered. Q. ilex ssp. ballota was more sensitive to O3 and ssp. ilex was more affected by drought stress. The different O3 sensitivity was not only related to pollutant uptake but also to the ability of plants for resource acquisition and allocation. Based on biomass dose–response functions, Q. ilex is more resistant to O3 than other European evergreen tree species, however, O3 represents an additional stress factor that might be impairing plant ability to withstand current and future climate change.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23890191</style></accession-num></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%">Guidi, Lucia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calatayud, Angeles</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Non-invasive tools to estimate stress-induced changes in photosynthetic performance in plants inhabiting Mediterranean areas</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Environmental and Experimental Botany</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abiotic stress</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chlorophyll a fluorescence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">climate change</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gas exchange</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oxidative stress</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">photosynthesis</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.envexpbot.2013.12.007http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0098847213002189</style></url></web-urls></urls><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In Mediterranean areas, plants are concomitantly exposed to various abiotic stresses such as light intensity, water deficit, extremes in air temperature, air pollutants, etc. These environmental pressures adversely affect plant development. Changes in photosystem activity are an early response of plants to abiotic stresses. Therefore, chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence and gas exchange, two non-invasive, rapid and inexpensive techniques for measuring photosynthesis in leaves, have been widely used by plant ecophysiologists to analyse plant responses to stressful conditions. Chl a fluorescence and gas exchange parameters can be indeed used to evaluate changes in photochemical and non-photochemical processes in photosystems associated with electron transport, CO2 fixation, and heat dissipation. In this review, we focus our analysis on the effects of different abiotic stresses on the photochemistry of Mediterranean plants using Chl a fluorescence and gas exchange measurements. Since changes in photosynthetic parameters are observed in the absence of visual injuries, these methodologies constitute fundamental tools to predict and evaluate the extent to which abiotic stresses damage photosynthesis.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;publisher: Elsevier B.V.</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%">Chaparro-Suarez, I.

NO2 measurements were performed with a sensitive gas phase chemiluminescence NO detector combined with a NO2 speciﬁc (photolytic) converter, both from Eco-Physics (Switzerland). This highly speciﬁc detection system excluded bias from other nitrogen compounds. Investigations were performed at two light intensities (Photosynthetic Active Radiation, PAR, 450 and 900 mmol m2 s 1 ) and NO2 concentrations between 0 and 5 ppb. Ambient parameters (air temperature and relative humidity) were held constant. The data showed dominant NO2 uptake by the respective tree species under all conditions. The results did not conﬁrm the existence of a compensation point within a 95% conﬁdence level, though we cannot completely exclude emission of NO2 under very low atmospheric concentrations. Induced stomatal stricture, or total closure, by changing light conditions, as well as by application of the plant hormone ABA (Abscisic Acid) caused a corresponding decrease of NO2 uptake. No loss of NO2 to plant surfaces was observed under stomatal closure and species dependent differences in uptake rates could be clearly related to stomatal behavior</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">32</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;publisher: Elsevier Ltd</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%">Hernández, E I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vilagrosa, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luis, V C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Llorca, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chirino, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vallejo, V R</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Root hydraulic conductance, gas exchange and leaf water potential in seedlings of Pistacia lentiscus L. and Quercus suber L. grown under different fertilization and light regimes</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Environmental and Experimental Botany</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Drought</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">fertilization</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gas exchange</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">light</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Root hydraulic conductance</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">67</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">269-276</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Differences in morphology, biomass allocations and physiological responses were investigated in seedlings of Mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus L.) and Cork oak (Quercus suber L.) submitted to contrasting fertilization and light regimes during early growth.

Fertilization was the treatment that affected most of the morphological and physiological variables evaluated in P. lentiscus and Q. suber seedlings. Leaf area and speciﬁc leaf area (SLA) were affected by shading treatment in both species, showing higher values in seedlings grown under shade. P. lentiscus seedlings showed a high capacity to modify root morphological variables and root hydraulic conductance (KR) with the fertilization treatment. In contrast, Q. suber showed low to moderate root system changes with the treatments applied, although the fertilization level affected biomass allocation (i.e., root to shoot ratio) in both species. Under high water demand, P. lentiscus seedlings with high KR allowed transpiration (E) to increase without increasing the water potential gradient between soil and leaves. In Q. suber, high fertilization induced signiﬁcant increases in photosynthesis (A), as well as a tendency to increase E with signiﬁcantly lower leaf water potential ( L)</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%">Vitale, Marcello</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salvatori, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loreto, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fares, Silvano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manes, Fausto</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Physiological responses of Quercus ilex Leaves to Water Stress and Acute Ozone Exposure Under Controlled Conditions</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Water, Air, and Soil Pollution</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gas exchange</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Holm oak (Quercus ilex)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">lipoxygenase products</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">monoterpene emission</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">o3 flux</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">photosynthesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stomatal conductance</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.springerlink.com/index/10.1007/s11270-007-9560-4</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">189</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">113 - 125</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The combined effect of water stress and ozone (O3) on stomatal O3 flux, damage to photosynthesis, and detoxification by biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) in Quercus ilex leaves was studied.

If confirmed on adult plants under field conditions, this effect can imply larger flux of O3 at night and possible detrimental effects of O3 on leaf functions in plants exposed to high nocturnal O3 levels.</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%">Ghouil, Hana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montpied, Pierre</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epron, Daniel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ksontini, Mustapha</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hanchi, Belkacem</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dreyer, Erwin</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thermal optima of photosynthetic functions and thermostability of photochemistry in cork oak seedlings</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tree Physiology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">chlorophyll fluorescence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gas exchange</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">maximal carboxylation rate</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">maximal light-driven electron flow</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Regeneration</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1031-1039</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Temperature effects on photosynthesis were studied in seedlings of evergreen Mediterranean cork oak (Quercus suber L.).

To elucidate the mechanism of this response, we studied gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence in Quercus ilex L. plants growing on control (unburned) sites and on sites that had been burned the preceding summer. In early July, photosynthetic rates and stomatal conductance were similar in plants on unburned and burned plots, and in young and old foliage within unburned plots. At this time, photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (PSII), nonphotochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence (NPQ), and the de-epoxidation of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin were also similar among leaves of different ages and treatments. In late July, photosynthetic rates and stomatal conductances were much greater in resprouts on the burned areas than in unburned plants. From early to late July, unburned plants showed an increase in NPQ and the de-epoxidation of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, indicating increased photoprotection as a result of enhanced nonradiative dissipation of excess light energy. Plants on the burned plots did not show these changes. Leaves of all ages and treatments showed no substantial reduction in potential quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm) at midday or predawn, indicating that there was little or no photoinhibition. Leaf nitrogen and soluble protein contents varied with leaf age during July, but did not vary between treatments. We conclude that the primary effect of burning is an increase in water availability to resprouting plants that eliminates the need for photoprotection, at least in the short term. The decrease in photosynthetic rates of unburned leaves in late July was the result of reduced stomatal conductance. We suggest that lowered stomatal conductance is the primary limiting factor in Q. ilex leaves, governing the regulation of carboxylation activity and energy dissipation processes.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1093/treephys/18.8-9.607</style></notes><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1093/treephys/18.8-9.607</style></research-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%">Tognetti, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Johnson, J.

Gas exchange, fluorescence and the PRI of leaves from the Mediterranean trees Quercus ilex and Phillyrea latifolia growing in the field were followed from spring to summer 1996 in central Catalonia (NE Spain). The same variables were measured in seedlings of these two species and Pistacia lentiscus submitted to progressive drying after witholding irrigation. Except for severely drought damaged plants, significant relations of the reflectance index PRI with fluorescence yield of the photosystem II (Delta F/F' m), non photochemical fluorescence quenching ( qN ) and photosynthetic radiation use efficiency (PRUE) were found, thus indicating a functional relation among these parameters. A simple portable radiometer measuring ground level reflectance at narrow bands centred at 531 and 570nm could instantaneously calculate the PRI index and give the PRUE estimation.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">doi: 10.1080/014311697217387</style></notes><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">doi: 10.1080/014311697217387</style></research-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%">Fleck, Isabel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grau, Daniel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sanjose, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vidal, D.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbon isotope discrimination in Quercus ilex resprouts after fire and tree-fell</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oecologia</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">carbon isotope discrimination</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fire and tree-fell resprouts</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gas exchange</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RuBPCase activity</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.springerlink.com/index/g76r90270m4w0571.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">286 - 292</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ecophysiological differences related to photo- synthesis were compared in holm oak Quercus ilex leaves from undisturbed holm-oak vegetation, resprouts after fire and resprouts after tree-fell.

Leaf mass per area (LMA), was 80% higher in the resprouts, and was negatively related (r= -0,86) to A and positively related (r=0.87) to N content.
