Abstract

Economically, holm-oak acorn crop is the major component in Iberian Mediterranean eco- systems. As in most Quercus species, the chief feature of holm-oak acorn production is its high variability among individuals and years, because of variables as masting, weather, etc. From 2001 to 2006 we studied fruit production and meteorology in a holm-oak natural area of South Spain. The results obtained, indicated that weather conditions at spring and autumn beginning had a marked influence on acorn production. Flowering survival and production improved by mild temperature in March and crop acorn was stronger because of rainfall in September
