Mapping multi-dimensional variability in water stress strategies across tempera...
Liu, Daijun; Esquivel-Muelbert, Adriane; Acil, Nezha; Astigarraga, Julen; Cienciala, Emil; Fridman, Jonas; Kunstler, Georges; Matthews, Thomas J.Increasing water stress is emerging as a global phenomenon, and is anticipated to have a marked impact on forest function. The role of tree functional strategies is pivotal in regulating forest fitness and their ability to cope with water stress. However, how the functional strategies found at the tree or species level scale up to characterise forest communities and their variation across regions is not yet wel...
Estimation of the allergenic potential of urban trees and urban parks: Towards ...
Cariñanos, Paloma; Grilo, Filipa; Pinho, Pedro; Casares-Porcel, Manuel; Branquinho, Cristina; Acil, Nezha; Andreucci, María Beatrice; Anjos, AndreiaThe impact of allergens emitted by urban green spaces on health is one of the main disservices of ecosystems. The objective of this work is to establish the potential allergenic value of some tree species in urban environments, so that the allergenicity of green spaces can be estimated through application of the Index of Urban Green Zones Allergenicity (IUGZA). Multiple types of green spaces in Mediterranean ci...
