Literature on climate resiliences of the species: Positively assessed by research projects and authors (Plante & Cité's Floriscope n.d., Darricau 2022, Sjöman and Anderson 2023).  Also in southwest Germany there is currently a preference for for planting in urban and periurban forests among foresters and gardeners  in anticipation of warmer and drier summers (Dr. Somidh Saha's comment on LinkedIn platform). Other aspects that have attracted research interest in the context of climate change: 

- as an introduced species for climate-smart forestry and has been the subject of greenhose experiments (WSL. n.d.).

- carbon sequestration (Enescu et al 2026)

- its roots’ enzymatic activity in urban soils (Gillini et al 2024, Gillini et al 2025).

- timber wood

- production of activated carbons from its acorns (Çesko et al 2024).

Quercus_  ithaburensis ssp. macrolepis - leaves NTUA CAMPUS

Distribution in Athens In the parks of Ancient Agora, Dasos Syggrou, NTUA campus, monastery of Penteli. Its natural distribution in Greece extends to deciduous forests in the country's Mediterranean zone (Pantera et al, 2009).

Biomes subtropical


Countries and regions (POWO Database)
Area of origin  SE. Italy, Balkan Peninsula to Syria. 
Countries in the area of origin Albania, Bulgaria, East Aegean Is., Greece, Italy, Kriti, Lebanon-Syria, NW. Balkan Pen., Türkey, Türkey-in-Europe. 

Cities worldwide (GUTI Database)
Tree inventories In two inventories in cities in Northern Greece: Arta, Ioannina In addition, it is present in another 6 inventories abroad: France (Bordeaux, Paris), Switzerland (Basel, Geneva), Israel (Karmiel, Tel Aviv). 

Performance It seems to be performing well in parks. However the surroundings are more forest like than urban green. It seems to be self-reproducing and expanding in the ecosystems of Dasos Syggrou and the NTUA campus.

Performance It appears to perform well and withstand extreme heat. However the seasonal change of leaves' color to brown may be a disavantage for further use in an urban setting. Maybe with an information campaign, it would be more acceptable to the general public.
