Post-Fire Demography, Growth, and Control of Eucalyptus globulus Wildlings
Silva, Joaquim S.; Nereu, Mauro; Pinho, Simão; Queirós, Luís; Jesús, Cláudio; Deus, ErnestoSeveral eucalypt species are known for their capacity to massively regenerate through seeds in recently burned areas, becoming an ecological problem in regions where the species is not native. Here we study the demography and the development of highly dense Eucalyptus globulus wildling populations established one year after a fire and test two methods to control these populations. We monitored five mixed E. glo...
Are post-dispersed seeds of <i>Eucalyptus globulus</i> predated in the introduc...
Deus, Ernesto; Silva, Joaquim S.; Marchante, Hélia; Marchante, Elizabete; Félix, CatarinaPlantations of Eucalyptus globulus Labill. have been expanding rapidly worldwide. The species is considered invasive in several regions. While in the native range, post-dispersal seed predation is known to severely limit eucalypt recruitment, there is no experimental evidence of seed predation in the introduced range. We hypothesised that E. globulus seeds largely escape predation in Portugal, which may explain...
Understanding the naturalization of Eucalyptus globulus in Portugal: a comparis...
Águas, Ana; Larcombe, Matthew J.; Matias, Hugo; Deus, Ernesto; Potts, Brad M.; Rego, Francisco C.; Silva, Joaquim S.Despite the potential utility of a biogeographical approach to understanding the naturalization of exotic species, studies using this approach are scarce. Eucalyptus globulus is an economically important Australian tree species that has become naturalized in a number of countries where it was introduced. Portugal is an ideal territory to study the naturalization of E. globulus owing to: a long introduction hist...
Fire effects on capsules and encapsulated seeds from Eucalyptus globulus in Por...
Santos, Patrícia dos; Matias, Hugo; Deus, Ernesto; Águas, Ana; Silva, Joaquim S.Eucalyptus globulus is native to Australia and currently one of the most cultivated hardwood species worldwide. The adaptation of E. globulus to fire-prone habitats has been linked to fire as a driver for regeneration and subsequent naturalization in Mediterranean-type regions. We studied the effect of fire on capsules and encapsulated seeds of E. globulus Labill. in the canopy and on the ground, aiming to asse...
