Thermal analysis and polyelectrolytes leakage methodologies were employed to establish lethal temperature thresholds. Results showed a higher frost resistance for evergreen species and lower for deciduous species in this decreasing order Q. coccifera Q. ilex Q. faginea and Q. pyrenaica. The cover of leaf litter generated by deciduous species could be an isolating element which allowed seed survival under cold winter conditions to that species with a lower frost resistance. Differences in temperature above and below a leaf litter cover along a winter season were measured in a Q. faginea stand in this sense the kind effect of leaf litter from a thermal point of view was proved. frost resistance leaf litter polyelectrolytic leakage Quercus thermal analysis Résumé - Resistance au froid des semences de chênes méditerranéens et rôle de la litière comme protecteur thermique des glands. On a testé la resistance intrinsèque à la gelée dans les semences de quatre espèces de chênes méditerranéens Quercus coccifera Q. faginea Q. ilex et Q. pyrenaica différents par la phénologie de l abscission foliaire. Des méthodes d analyse thermique et des mesures de fuite de polyélectrolytes ont été utilisées pour établir les températures létales. Les résultats montrent une meilleure résistance des espèces à feuilles persistantes dans l ordre suivant Q. coccifera Q. ilex Q. faginea Q. pyrenaica . .
