Description :
The aim of this study was to determine the resilience of the oak-dominated communities at different landscape positions in the research area in central Spain as indicated by the relative recovery of Quercus ilex and Q. coccifera and to relate this to the most important hydrological processes and properties at the slope section scale. A conceptual model is presented that links the resilience of these systems to the hydrological conditions. On the basis of the presented model, it is postulated that recovery of the system is determined partly by access to deep water resources.
