  • Spain Revisited : a Summer Holiday in Galicia
    s A WINTER HOLIDAY IN PORTUGAL By CAPTAIN GRANVILLE BAKER Author of " The Walls of Constantinople," etc. IVH/i Coloured Frontispiece and 32 original drawings by the A uthor. Demy %vo, cloth gilt Captain Granville Baker, who has served in several campaigns in the British as well as the German Army, is an experienced traveller. In this volume he describes with pen, pencil, and brush the scenic charm of Portugal, the old buildings, the manners and customs of the people, and gives a history of the rise and growth of the nation, bringing his survey up to the recent important changes in the government. The author sets forth, in fascinating pages, the claims of Portugal as a winter resort. Wealth of colouring and variety of form are the most delightful features of its landscapes. The river scenery of Portugal recalls the far-famed Rhine, its mountains have an Alpine grandeur, its harbours vie in richness of beauty with those of Naples and Constantinople, its valleys and moors sport with all the colours of the rainbow, its flora being the richest in all Europe. The towns and villages have an old-world picturesqueness ; the costume of the peasantry is uniquely charming. Captain Granville Baker's volume gives a very adequate impression of these manifold attractions. SICILY IN SHADOW AND IN SUN By MAUD HOWE Author or " Sun and Shadow in Spain," " Two in Italy," etc. U'itA a viap and one hundred illustrations from photographs »nd drawings by John Elliot.

  • Crecimiento Radial De Las Principales Especies Arbóreas De La Isla De Cortegada (Parque Nacional De Las Islas Atlánticas) En Relación Con La Historia Y El Clima S
    Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA) Investigación Agraria: Sistemas y Recursos Forestales 2007 16(1), 3-14 Disponible on line en www.inia.es/srf ISSN: 1131-7965 Crecimiento radial de las principales especies arbóreas de la isla de Cortegada (Parque Nacional de las Islas Atlánticas) en relación con la historia y el clima S. Lamas* y V. Rozas Departamento de Ecología. Centro de Investigación e Información Ambiental de Galicia. Apdo. 127. 36080 Pontevedra. España Resumen Se realizó un estudio de los patrones de crecimiento radial de Quercus robur L., Quercus pyrenaica Willd., Pinus pinaster Ait., Pinus pinea L. y Laurus nobilis L., especies dominantes en la isla de Cortegada, perteneciente al Par- que Nacional de las Islas Atlánticas de Galicia. El objetivo principal fue determinar la repercusión que han tenido so- bre el crecimiento los cambios de uso del terreno ocurridos en el último siglo en la isla. También se estudió la in- fluencia de algunas variables climáticas (temperatura media mensual y precipitación mensual) sobre las variaciones de alta frecuencia del crecimiento radial. Los resultados indican que las cronologías derivadas de todas las especies estudiadas reflejan la sucesión de acontecimientos acaecidos en la isla en el s. XX, con un gradual establecimiento del arbolado a lo largo de la primera mitad del siglo, un progresivo cierre del dosel y la reciente apertura de huecos en el mismo debido a perturbaciones. Las correlaciones obtenidas entre los parámetros climáticos y las variaciones interanuales del crecimiento manifiestan la mayor tolerancia de las especies Q. pyrenaica y P. pinea a la escasez de agua en los meses de primavera y verano.
