Influence of provenance origin on the early performance of two sclerophyllous Mediterranean species established in burned drylands

Abstract Forest restoration have had limited success due to intense and prolonged droughts in Mediterranean-type ecosystems. In this context, knowledge of growth and physiology in seedlings of different provenances can be useful in the selection of appropriate seed sources for restoration. In this s...
