  Rizzo Martín, Iván Gabriel; Hirigoyen-Domínguez, Andrés; Arthus-Bacovich, Rodrigo; Varo-Martínez, Mª Ángeles; Navarro Cerrillo, Rafael M. (MDPI, 2023)

  Intensive silviculture demands new inventory tools for better forest management and planning. Airborne laser scanning (ALS) was shown to be one of the best alternatives for high-precision inventories applied to productive ...

• Beneficial microorganisms and water stress influence quercus ilex seedlings’ response to phytophthora cinnamomi rands 

  Cabrera-Puerto, Roberto J. (MDPI, 2023)

  Root rot affecting holm oak is a cause of high ecological and economic losses in the Iberian Peninsula, highlighting the relevance of developing disease control methods. The aim of this work was to assess the effect of a ...

• LANZA® Tedera Is Strongly Suppressed by Competition from Lolium multiflorum and Is Best Adapted to Light-Textured Soils 

  Fernández-Habas, Jesús; Real, Daniel; Vanwalleghem, Tom; Fernández Rebollo, Pilar (MDPI, 2023)

  Bituminaria bituminosa var. albomarginata, known as Tedera, is a promising forage for Mediterranean climates. An improved variety named LANZA® has been developed. Previous research suggests that soil water saturation in ...

• Improvements of Fire Fuels Attributes Maps by Integrating Field Inventories, Low Density ALS, and Satellite Data in Complex Mediterranean Forests 

  Crespo Calvo, Roberto; Varo-Martínez, Mª Ángeles; Ruiz Gómez, Francisco; Ariza Salamanca, Antonio Jesús; Navarro Cerrillo, Rafael M. (MDPI, 2023)

  One of the most determining factors in forest fire behaviour is to characterize forest fuel attributes. We investigated a complex Mediterranean forest type—mountainous Abies pinsapo–Pinus–Quercus–Juniperus with distinct ...

• Planted or Natural Pine Forests, Which One Will Better Recover after Drought? Insights from Tree Growth and Stable C and H Isotopes 

  Navarro Cerrillo, Rafael M.; Cachinero-Vivar, Antonio M.; Ruiz Gómez, Francisco; Camarero, J. Julio; González-Pérez, Jose A.; Pérez-Priego, Óscar (MDPI, 2023)

  Increasing intensity and frequency of droughts are leading to forest dieback, growth decline and tree mortality worldwide. Reducing tree-to-tree competition for water resources is a primary goal for adaptive climate ...
