Genetic and morphological insights into the Carpobrotus hybrid complex around the world Open
The genus Carpobrotus N.E.Br. comprises between 12 and 25 species, most of which are native to South Africa. Some Carpobrotus species are considered among the most damaging invasive species in coastal dune systems worldwide. In their intro…

Vascular plant taxa occurrences in exotic woodland and in natural and production forests on the Islands of São Miguel, Terceira and Pico (Azores) Open
The data presented here originated from field expeditions carried out between 2017 and 2018, within the framework of Forest-Eco 2 project: "Towards an Ecological and Economic valorisation of the Azorean Forest". The project aimed to quanti…

Climate–Growth Relationships in Laurus azorica—A Dominant Tree in the Azorean Laurel Forest Open
Forests on oceanic islands, such as the Azores archipelago, enable interesting dendroclimatic research, given their pronounced climatic gradients over short geographical distances, despite the less pronounced seasonality. The Lauraceae pla…

Multiplexed shotgun genotyping (MSG) data resolve phylogenetic relationships within and among archipelagos in Macaronesian <i>Tolpis</i> Open
Premise Plants endemic to oceanic archipelagos are suitable for studying evolution, being isolated on substrates of different ages. Evolution has been recent, rendering traditionally employed sequences insufficiently variable for resolving…

Dendrochronological potential of the Azorean endemic gymnosperm Juniperus brevifolia (Seub.) Antoine Open
<p>Tree-ring interannual pattern variation is crucial in dendrochronology, allowing the identification of possible limiting factors on growth. Thus, trees exposed to sub-tropical or tropical climates without a marked seasonality, may…

How rapidly do self‐compatible populations evolve selfing? Mating system estimation within recently evolved self‐compatible populations of Azorean <i>Tolpis succulenta</i> (Asteraceae) Open
Genome‐wide genotyping and Bayesian inference method (BORICE) were employed to estimate outcrossing rates and paternity in two small plant populations of Tolpis succulenta (Asteraceae) on Graciosa island in the Azores. These two known exta…

Linking Dendrometry and Dendrochronology in the Dominant Azorean Tree Laurus azorica (Seub.) Franco Open
As in many archipelagos, the Azorean primary forest was largely cleared and replaced by secondary forest and grassland, the Azorean tree Laurus azorica (Seub.) Franco being one of the dominant trees in the remaining natural forests. Dendro…

Comparison of-Square, Point Centered Quarter, and-Tree Sampling Methods in<i>Pittosporum undulatum</i>Invaded Woodlands Open
Tree density is an important parameter affecting ecosystems functions and management decisions, while tree distribution patterns affect sampling design. Pittosporum undulatum stands in the Azores are being targeted with a biomass valorizat…
