Abstract

Shrub encroachment is a global phenomenon occurring in a wide range of ecosystems, including in tree plantations, which is known to affect ecosystem functioning and productivity. Forest management in tree plantations (e.g. shrub clearing, tree thinning and pruning) often aims to increase wood and...

Abstract

The presence of natural forests in association with the planted forests has become a common quite landscape in the Mediterranean basin and even elsewhere. Understanding how native game bird use the different types of forest habitats is a major issue aiming at an effective assessment of their...

Abstract

Forests contribute directly to ecosystem structure and functioning, maintaining biodiversity, acting as a climate regulator and reducing desertification. To better manage forests, it is essential to have high-resolution forest models and appropriate spatial-explicit variables able to explain tree...

Abstract

Determining site quality is essential in order to develop sustainable forest management, allowing more appropriate silvicultural decisions to be made. However, most studies carried out in Spain have focused on a few species and at local scale, which makes it difficult to apply the findings or...

Abstract

Climate change is impacting locally adapted species such as the keystone tree species cork oak (Quercus suber L.). Quantifying the importance of environmental variables in explaining the species distribution can help build resilient populations in restoration projects and design forest management...

Abstract

Plant diversity is a core value of forests and is rapidly becoming a primary management goal under the threat of global environmental changes. Changing conditions, including forestry interventions, or lack of them, may endanger its preservation. Abandonment of management in forests previously...
