The research will study in an integrated way one of the main processes involved in reproductive of oaks: flowering success. Deeper understanding of this process is key to promoting conservation strategies and contributing to the persistence of oak forests under future climate change scenarios. Study of the flowering process can also lead to a better understanding of the role of oak forests in the seed production processes and also the response of stands to a changing environment. The aim of this present work will be to assess the effect of environmental parameters (temperatures, rainfall and soil humidity) in the process of flowering success. Forests ecosystems are currently being forced to adapt to changing environments in ways that affect management options. The analysis of flower productivity under current climate change scenario is a necessary first step in the design of adaptive management of California oak ecosystems.
