The main objective of the study is assessing the areas where Quercus suber (cork oak) seeds (acorns) should be collected, taking into account both environmental and genetic variables, identifying uniform climatic areas and investigating the genetic diversity among populations at the regional scale. Combining the two factors, areas of interest for valorising the available germplasm can be identified.

Climatic impact on cork thickness from different trees located in the same stand
The thickness of cork oak trees varies highly, even when they are located in the same geographical location or stand. The objective was to research
