Variación enla morfología foliar de especies mediterráneas procedentes de sitios con diferente disponibilidad de suelo y agua

Abstract

This work has focussed on the study of the morphologic plastic qualities of the four forest species that are typical of the Mediterranean climate (Quercus ilex subsp. ballota, Quercus coccifera, Pinus halepensis y Juniperus phonicea subsp. phoenicea), in unfavourable hydric conditions. The results show that the only species that presents a clear adaptation to unfavourable hydric conditions is the Sabine, although seasonally the four species have a tendency to vary their leaf morphology from the driest to the wettest season.
