Reproduction and locations of oaks in Yolo County, California, USA from 2013-2023
April 23, 2026
Oaks were mapped in a portion of Yolo County, California, USA. For 26 focal trees, acorn counts were conducted from 2013-2023. Trees were located in rural and urban areas. Rural trees were located visually and location was recorded. Urban tree locations were drawn from randomly distributed point locations at 1.2 valley oaks per hectare. The data also include distance between oak trees to estimate isolation.

Oak masting breaks down in a highly fragmented, pollen limited landscape Oak masting breaks down in a highly fragmented, pollen limited landscape
Masting, the production of variable and synchronous seed crops, is common among wind pollinated trees, and periodic pollen limitation is thought to be an important component of the process of masting. However, little is known either about the dynamics of mast seed production or pollen limitation in isolated trees. We tracked seed production of valley oak (Quercus lobata) over 11 years in...
