Impact of Drought and Hypoxylon Mediterraneum on Oak Decline in the Mediterranean Region. Vannini, A., Valentini, R., & Luisi, N. Annales des Sciences Forestières, 53(2-3):753–760, 1996.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
An association was evidenced in the last decade among changes in species composition, changes in rainfall distribution and incidence of stress-induced pathogens, such as Hypoxylon mediterraneum, in old oak coppices in central and southern Italy. Quercus cerris and Q frainetto were more affected by decline than Q pubescens following periods of summer drought. The role of H mediterraneum on drought-susceptible species was relevant by increasing their mortality. According to our results, changes in rainfall distribution and secondary biotic stress factors, such as H mediterraneum, seem to act as factors of balance by restablishing the original forest composition existing before the selective pressure of coppice managment.
