This work was carried out in two ways: synchronically, comparing pruned sites with others which were either unpruned or pruned at different times, and diachronically, comparing pruned and unpruned trees within the same site. The five test sites (with forty trees in the synchronic and eighty in the diachronic plots) were selected in south-west Spain. In all cases measurements of the cork production were made in kilos per square metre of surface stripped, total cork yield per tree, and the mean thickness of stripped cork. Analysis was carried out using a paired data comparison test. The effect of pruning on yearly cork growth was also analysed by examining the annual growth rings. In the five plots analysed there were no significant differences (95% confidence intervals) between pruned and unpruned trees in terms of kilos of cork produced per square metre of surface stripped, nor for total cork yield per tree. Neither were there significant differences in annual cork growth rings, even when the pruning was carried out during the cork-stripping period.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</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%">Oliveira, A C</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Variation in cork production of the cork oak between two consecutive cork harvests</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Forestry</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork Production</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Growth (PG)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">stripping</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">variability</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2001</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">74</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">337-346</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The variation in the cork produced by individual trees (Quercus suber L.) in three distinct locations, Mora, Alcácer do Sal and Benavente, is characterized by measurements made during two consecutive harvests of cork in the same trees.

A monitoring of foliar nutrients has been undertaken on cork-oaks (Quercus suber L), in the Maures Mountains (Var, France). Simultaneously, the thickness of cork age rings has been studied to define the relationship of the cork production to nutrient contents under different ecological conditions. Foliar concentrations of ions evolved according to the season, the degradation state and the xericity of plots. Nitrogen appeared proportional to the physiological activity of the leaf, while calcium and potassium were stocked gradually. The calcium-magnesium antagonism was confirmed. Furthermore, changes of the nutrient concentrations in the undergrowth-clearing sites are reduced from the spring resumption of the metabolism. The growth of primary cork is linear with time, irrespective of year, climatic conditions and perturbations. The secondary (or reproductive) cork production is not linear with time and the age of trees, but it remains much higher than the primary cork production. The higher secondary cork productions are linked to the high contents of potassium and nitrogen, and to the moist and weakly disturbed plots. Magnesium is linked to small width thicknesses of cork age rings. Sodium and calcium do not appear to influence this cork production.</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%">González Fernández, T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Al, D E Corcho</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">El, Modificar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fernández, T González</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Efectos en el rendimiento de la produccion de corcho al modificar el calibre de las planchas taponables</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scientia gerundensis</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork Production</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cork-oak</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">wine bottle neck</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1989</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">121-130</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The main purpose of this paper is to analise the posible effects of a diminution on the caliber of the bottle-cork on the economic profitability of the Extremadura cork-oak forest.
