The ignition index based on flammability of vegetation improves planning in the wildland-urban interface: A case study in Southern Spain
(Elsevier, 2017)
Forest fires in the wildland urban interface (WUI) are a widespread and growing problem due to changes in land use and climate. The impacts of WUI fire depend on the exposure of homes to dense vegetation (both natural and ...
Landscape genetic structure of chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) in Spain
(Springer, 2011)
The current need for forest conservation and management has driven a rapid expansion of landscape genetics approach. This discipline combines tools from molecular genetics, landscape ecology and spatial statistics and is ...
Modeling Mediterranean forest fuels by integrating field data and mapping tools
(Springer, 2011)
Fire behavior modeling systems are important in predicting wildfire risk, fire growth, and fire effects. However, simulation software requires a new fuel modeling to include fuel treatments, prescribed fire and the transition ...
Wildfires impact on the economic susceptibility of recreation activities: Application in a Mediterranean protected area
(Elsevier, 2019)
Development of many rural forestry areas depends strongly on tourism activities; therefore, it is critical to incorporate these activities in the decision-making process for the management and conservation efforts. Different ...
Integrating economic landscape valuation into Mediterranean territorial planning
(Elsevier, 2016)
Recent and rapid landscape changes have occurred over large areas in Mediterranean Basin. Wildfires and human activities are the most important disturbances at landscape-level due to their ecological and socio-economic ...
Spatio-temporal analysis of oak decline process in open woodlands: A case study in SW Spain
(Elsevier, 2019)
This study aims to characterize at landscape level the spatio-temporal dynamics of a
massive oak decline that is occurring in dehesas ecosystems. We are looking at possibilities
of matching with Phytophthora disease ...
A methodology for determining operational priorities for prevention and suppression of wildland fires
(CSIRO, 2014)
Traditional uses of the forest (timber, forage) have been giving way to other uses more in demand (recreation, ecosystem services). An observable consequence of this process of forest land use conversion is an increase in ...
Economic vulnerability of timber resources to forest fires
(Elsevier, 2012)
The temporalespatial planning of activities for a territorial fire management program requires knowing
the value of forest ecosystems. In this paper we extend to and apply the economic valuation principle to
the concept ...
Is thinning an alternative when trees could die in response to drought? The case of planted Pinus nigra and P. Sylvestris stands in southern Spain
(Elsevier, 2019)
Previous research has provided insights into the potential response of growth and water use efficiency to thinning in Mediterranean forests, but little is known about the potential benefits of silviculture for plantations ...
Growth and physiological sapling responses of eleven Quercus ilex ecotypes under identical environmental conditions
(Elsevier, 2018)
Studies with holm oak indicate that genetic variation may result in substantial differences in drought tolerance among its ecotypes. However, few trials have studied this variation under common environmental conditions. ...
