Cover Story: This paper investigates how tree canopies influence carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling in Mediterranean wood pastures, particularly in the Iberian Peninsula. These ecosystems, shaped by traditional silvo-pastoral practices, are characterized by a mix of trees and open grassland, which affects soil fertility and plant dynamics. The study compares the effects of oak stands and pine plantations on herbaceous plant functional types (PFTs) and soil dynamics, using isotopic abundances (δ13C and δ15N) as indicators. Findings reveal that oak stands enhance soil fertility more effectively than pine, especially under harsher environmental conditions, highlighting the critical role of tree species in ecosystem functioning and resilience. View this paper
