Understanding intra and inter-archipelago population genetic patterns within a recently evolved insular endemic lineage
L. Borges Silva,Julie Sardos,Miguel Menezes de Sequeira,Lurdes Borges Silva,Daniel J. Crawford,Mónica Moura +5 more
TL;DR: Genetic structure analysis, in addition to a spatial analysis, confirmed the existence of geographically circumscribed genetic patterns allied to a barrier effect by the sea in the Azorean T. azorica and T. succulenta.

Biomass valorization in the management of woody plant invaders: The case of Pittosporum undulatum in the Azores
L. Borges Silva,Paula C. Lourenço,Paula C. Lourenço,A. Teixeira,Eduardo Brito de Azevedo,Maria Teresa S. S. Britto e Alves,Rui B. Elias,Lucas C. R. Silva +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the available aboveground biomass (AGB, including trunk, branches and foliage) of the widespread woody plant invader Pittosporum undulatum in the exotic woodland in Sao Miguel, Terceira and Graciosa islands (Azores archipelago), in order to assess its potential for energetic valorization.

Tree age determination in the widespread woody plant invader Pittosporum undulatum
L. Borges Silva,A. Teixeira,Maria Teresa S. S. Britto e Alves,Rui B. Elias,Lucas C. R. Silva +4 more
TL;DR: Pittosporum undulatum showed distinct annual growth rings with an increase in cell-wall thickness and a decrease in cell lumen of the Fibers, from early to latewood, to help manage biomass valorization projects and better understand invasion dynamics at conservation devoted areas.

Tree Growth-climate Relationship in the Azorean Holly in a Temperate Humid Forest With Low Thermal Amplitude
TL;DR: In this article , the authors tried to understand tree-ring patterns of Ilex azorica Gand and examine the relationship between radial tree growth and main climatic drivers, which can be statistically related to climate, mostly temperature.

Diogo C. Pavão,Jernej Jevšenak,M. Petrillo,Ricardo Camarinho,Armindo Rodrigues,Armindo Rodrigues,L. Borges Silva,Rui B. Elias,Lucas C. R. Silva +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed tree-ring patterns, cross-dating capabilities, and correlation with climate parameters of the dominant Azorean tree Juniperus brevifolia (Seub.) Antoine.
