A neighborhood analysis of the consequences of Quercus suber decline for regeneration dynamics in Mediterranean forests.

In forests, the vulnerable seedling stage is largely influenced by the canopy, which modifies the surrounding environment. Consequently, any alteration in the characteristics of the canopy, such as those promoted by forest dieback, might impact regeneration dynamics. Our work analyzes the interactio...
