I would like to see the floristic diversity in three types of plantations (planting prickly pear, olive trees and a natural pine forest) in a semi-arid area in order to understand whether the type of plant (plant-nurse) is essential for the floristic regénartion Do you think that the facilitation effect is related to the age of the plant-nurse?
Hi ¡
In my experience, in the case of trees have a gaussian curve, starting first fruits between three or seven years old (depending of the species plus environmental conditions), and then a curve by year, which means that in first years of production you can get not the best fruits (may be too small or just a few or do not get ripe); and talking about the year even in best years of production, in the middle of gaussian curve of the whole life of the plant, you can get the best production of flowers and fruits in the middle of the gaussian curve of the whole production period in the year. Of course considering that the disponibility of water is not a problem for the plant.
