Interactive Responses of Quercus Suber L. Seedlings to Light and Mild Water Stress: Effects on Morphology and Gas Exchange Traits

Puertolas, J., Pardos, M., Jimenez, M. D., Aranda, I., and Pardos, J. A. Annals of Forest Science 65:611-620. 2008.

The combined effect of water stress and light on seedlings of forest species is a key factor to determine the best silvicultural and afforestation practices in the Mediterranean area. The aims of this work was (1) to determine the optimal light level for the early development of cork oak seedlings under mild water stress and (2) to test if the combined effect of water stress and light followed the trade-off, the facilitation or the orthogonal hypothesis.
