GIS-based buffering analysis was made to generate three buffer zones with distances of 1000 m, 2000 m, and 3000 m based on each of three anthropogenic factors (settlement, agriculture, and road) that influence the fire events. \u0000Main results: The results showed that PSF, barren land, and grassland have significantly changed between 1991 and 2013. PSF plummeted by about 70% during the 19-year period. Agriculture exhibited the most significant anthropogenic factor that contributes to the deforestation of the PSF in this study area with the distance of 1001-2000 m in 1998 fire event and 0-1000 m in 2003. Additionally, the distance to settlement played an increasingly important role in the fire affected areas, as shown by the increase of weightages from 0.26 to 0.35. \u0000Research highlights: Our results indicate that agriculture is the most influential anthropogenic factor associated with the fire-affected areas. The distance to settlement played an increasingly important role in the fire affected areas and contributes to the deforestation of the PSF in these study areas.","PeriodicalId":50434,"journal":{"name":"Forest Systems","volume":"4 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139443872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In planta, dual inoculation tests were performed by co-inoculating plantlets with both P. cinnamomi and B. amyloliquefaciens. Physiological parameters, such as photosynthetic activity, chlorophyll content, and oxidative stress markers, were measured. All experiments were conducted under controlled conditions. Main results: In vitro experiments revealed the inhibitory effects of B. amyloliquefaciens on P. cinnamomi growth. Infected plantlets displayed symptoms of root infection. Dual inoculation tests resulted in plant survival against P. cinnamomi infection. Analysis of physiological parameters indicated variations among treatments and clones, highlighting the distinct response of Q. suber plantlets to the pathogen and underscoring the importance of genetic variability for disease management. Research highlights: This study provides insights into the potential of a strain of B. amyloliquefaciens as a biocontrol agent against P. cinnamomi infection in cork oak.

We analysed the diversity of AMF in one composite sample of mahogany roots (three trees) using 18S rDNA gene with Illumina MiSeq platform. Main results: Through metabarcoding 14 virtual taxa belonging mainly to the genus Glomus and Diversispore were obtained, VTX00186 being the most abundant. The percentages of colonization for the different fungal structures were hyphae 80%, vesicles 18%, coils 2%, and arbuscules 0.5%; for DSF, 60% hyphae and 12% microsclerotia.
