Most of the Paleotropical flora widely distributed in the Western Palearctic became extinct during the Mio-Pliocene as a result of global geoclimatic changes. A few elements from this Cenozoic flora are believed to remain as relicts in Macaronesia, forming part of the laurel forests. Although the origins of the present species assembly are known to...

Macaronesian laurel forests harbour many herbs and laurophyllous trees with Mediterranean/European or Macaronesian affinities. Traditionally, the origin of these taxa has been explained by the relict hypothesis interpreting these taxa as relics of formerly widespread laurel forests in the European continent and the Mediterranean. We analysed the ph...

La laurisilva de la Macaronesia alberga muchos árboles laurófilos y hierbas con afinidades mediterráneo/europeas o macaronésicas. El origen de estos taxones se ha explicado por la hipótesis del bosque relicto que interpretaba estos taxones como relictos de bosques de laurel previamente extendidos en Europa y el Mediterráneo. Analizamos las relacion...

We investigate evapotranspiration, sap flow and top soil water content variations in a wax myrtle-tree heath ('fayal-brezal' in Spanish) cloud forest in the Garajonay National Park (La Gomera, Canary Islands) over a 1-year period. We provide transpiration estimates for one of the representative species, the shrubby needle-like Erica arborea L., pre...

The agricultural terraces and irrigation channels are the most valuable items of Madeira�s cultural heritage and the living expression of how human intervention was possible without causing significant damage to the functioning of the local ecosystems. Through the construction of small terraces of arable soil, and the irrigation of the island, past...
