The growth pattern and architecture of Quercus ilex L. and Fraxinus ornus L. resprouting after coppicing has been study to test the space occupation dynamics by the new meta-population of shoots. In the early years after coppicing, Fraxinus ornus L. rapidly occupies the vertical space by long spring flushes, while Quercus ilex L. occupies both the vertical and horizontal available space by a complex apical architecture of primary meristems. The two different behaviors have been interpreted as strategic resilience response of the species to environmental disturbances.

Abstract
The growth pattern and architecture of Quercus ilex L. and Fraxinus ornus L. resprouting after coppicing has been study to test the space occupation dynamics by the new meta-population of shoots. In the early years after coppicing, Fraxinus ornus L. rapidly occupies the vertical space by long spring flushes, while Quercus ilex L. occupies both the vertical and horizontal available space by a complex apical architecture of primary meristems. The two different behaviors have been interpreted as strategic resilience response of the species to environmental disturbances.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
