- •
Groundwater decline following drought may reduce cork yield.
- •
Site-specific variations in cork growth are related to groundwater levels.
- •
Groundwater may decouple cork growth from seasonal fluctuations of precipitation.
- •
A cork growth trigger value was found for groundwater levels (dry season) below −2.5 m.
- •
Cork oak woodlands can be considered groundwater dependent ecosystems.
