Alicante, PO Box 99, 03080 Alicante, Spain; [email protected] 4 Aragon Agency for Research and Development (ARAID), E-50018 Zaragoza, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-976-716-974 Received: 5 August 2020; Accepted: 22 September 2020; Published: 23 September 2020 Abstract: Plant functioning and survival in drylands are affected by the combination of high solar radiation, high temperatures, low relative humidity, and the scarcity of available water. Many ecophysiological studies have dealt with the adaptation of plants to cope with these stresses in hot deserts, which are the territories that have better evoked the idea of a dryland. Nevertheless, drylands can also be found in some other areas of the Earth that are under the Mediterranean-type climates, which imposes a strong aridity during summer. In this review, plant species from hot deserts and Mediterranean-type climates serve as examples for describing and analyzing the different responses of trees and shrubs to aridity in drylands, with special emphasis on the structural and functional adaptations of plants to avoid the negative effects of high temperatures under drought conditions. -

Belabarce Walnut Juglans regia L. Roncal Valley – Pyrenees – Spain his species is typical of riverside woodlands in the eastern Mediterranean. It grows naturally in southeast Europe Tand western Asia from Greece as far as the Himalayas, associated with trees such as Platanus orientalis, Liquidambar orientalis, Pterocarya fraxinifolia and Rhododendron ponticum and lianas such as Periploca graeca and Cyprinia gracilis. The species spread across Europe during the Roman era, mainly as a fruit tree although its wood is also of excellent quality and is very highly regarded. It is associated with human activities in orchards, on the borders of crop fields and on mountain slopes. In its area of origin, the natural forests are threatened by fruit collection, overgrazing and wood logging, marking a descendant population trend. Natura 2000: Habitats, 92C0 - Platanus orientalis and Liquidambar orientalis woods (Plantanion orientalis), 92A0 - Salix alba and Populus alba galleries. Red List Category of Threatened Species, IUCN: Near Threatened (NT). n n 208 209 n Phoenix Olive Trees Olea europaea L. var. europaea Phoenix – Crete – Greece he olive tree was one of the first trees to be domesticated on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean. From there, Tits cultivation extended across the whole Mediterranean region, on many occasions taking advantage of wild olive popultions for grafting. In Minoan art dating back to 3,500 years ago, the olive and its branches, fruits and flowers were used as inspiration for paintings and the decoration of vases and jewellery. The Phoenix olive trees bear witness to the extraordinary capacity for survival of this species in even the harshest and most arid of landscapes. -

At the core of this hotspot, across the Strait of Gibraltar, lies a smaller region Received in revised form 26 February 2008 whose singular Cenozoic history and ecological features have created a distinct, nested sub-hotspot. In Accepted 1 August 2008 particular, an important relict flora, a high endemism, and the dominance of vegetation types other than the paradigmatic Mediterranean-type sclerophyllous forests and shrublands, are biogeographical features of paramount relevance. These singular environments may have provided suitable mesic habitats for stable human populations in this region throughout the Quaternary. Here we explore the possible causes of the unique biodiversity of this region. First, we show that endemism is associated with poor soils and mild Mediterranean climate, whereas relictness is primarily associated with riparian and humid habitats which might have remained relatively stable since the Late Tertiary. -
The Proportion of Immature Breeders As a Reliable Early Warning Signal of Population Decline: Evidence from the Spanish Imperial Eagle in Donana
The proportion of immature breeders as a reliable early warning signal of population decline: evidence from the Spanish imperial eagle in Donana Miguel Ferrera,*, Vincenzo Penteriania, Javier Balbontına, Massimo Pandolfib aDepartment of Applied Biology, Estacio´ n Biolo´ gica de Don˜ana, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientı´ficas, Avda.de Marı´a Luisa s/n, Pabello´ n del Peru´ , Seville 41013, Spain bZoological Laboratory, Urbino University, Via M.Oddi, 21, Urbino 61029, Italy Received 24 September 2002; received in revised form 7 February 2003; accepted 13 February 2003 Abstract Methods to evaluate population trends have recently received particular attention because of perceived declines in several species during the 20th century. We investigated whether age at first breeding could be used as an ‘‘early warning signal’’ to detect possible changes in population trends in long-lived species with deferred maturity using data from the Spanish imperial eagle (Aquila adal- berti) population in Donana National Park (Spain). This bird of prey is an endangered species that has suffered a rapid decline in this population during the last 10 years. As a result of our 27-year monitoring (1976–2002) study, we detected that an increase in immature breeding birds occurred before population decline became evident. The proportion of immature-plumaged breeders in the population was significantly higher during the period of decline than during the period of stability. In our case, more than 10% of immature breeders can be considered as an ‘‘early warning signal’’ that anticipates population decline. Owing to the ignorance of this warning signal, urgent actions for the recovery of this eagle population started 10 years later than necessary, and when popu- lation size had been reduced. -

The genetic diversity of this tree species, its main aspect of adaptation, has not been sufficiently studied. The Moroccan cork oak tree is found in the northern part of the country, where the fruits of the tree are soft corns. This forest tree species has undergone a strong decline due to many factors, including a significant loss of its biological diversity. While working within the national framework of protection and enhancement of this tree species, our research aimed to analyze and assess the phenotypic diversity of different provenances, using qualitative and quantitative dendrometric traits and geographical characteristics such as the total height of the tree (H), the height to the first branch (Hbr), girth (Gir), surface coefficient of the bole (K) (K = (H × Gir/200)), number of branches (NbrBr), vigor (V), foliage density (D), and altitude. -
