The effect of past forestry activity on Mediterranean sessile oak forests on the NE Iberian Peninsula

While the sessile oak (Quercus petraea) may be widely distributed across Europe, it is somewhat rare on the NE Iberian Peninsula, its southern distribution and xeric limit. Understanding the relationship this forest has with not only climate factors but also with past human activity is important. Th...
