• Fuel Modelling Characterisation Using Low-Density LiDAR in the Mediterranean: An Application to a Natural Protected Area 

  Ferrer Palomino, Aurora; Rodríguez y Silva, Francisco (MDPI, 2021)

  Fuel structure and characteristics are important to better understand and predict wildfire behaviour. The aim of the present study was to develop a methodology for characterising fuel models using low-density and free LiDAR ...

• Linking functional traits with tree growth and forest productivity in Quercus ilex forests along a climatic gradient 

  Salazar, Pablo; Díaz Herráiz, Aurelio; Olmo, Manuel; Ruiz-Benito, Paloma; Barrón, Vidal; Crespo Bastias, Cristina; García de la Riva, Enrique; Villar, Rafael (Elsevier, 2021)

  Plant functional traits are highly plastic to changes in climatic factors and nutrient availability. However, the intraspecific plant response to abiotic factors and the overall effect on tree growth and productivity is ...

• Investigating the potential of Sentinel-2 configuration to predict the quality of Mediterranean permanent grasslands in open woodlands 

  Fernández-Habas, Jesús; García-Moreno, Alma María; Hidalgo-Fernández, Mª Teresa; Leal-Murillo, José Ramón; Abellanas Oar, B.; Gómez Giráldez, Pedro Jesús; González-Dugo, Maria P.; Fernández Rebollo, Pilar (Elsevier, 2021)

  The assessment of pasture quality in permanent grasslands is essential for their conservation and management, as it can contribute to making real-time decisions for livestock management. In this study, we assessed the ...

• Opportunities of super high-density olive orchard to improve soil quality: Management guidelines for application of pruning residues 

  Taguas Ruiz, Encarnación; Marín-Moreno, Víctor; Díez, Concepción M.; Mateos, Luciano; Barranco Navero, Diego; Mesas Carrascosa, Francisco Javier; Pérez, Rafael; García-Ferrer Porras, Alfonso; Quero, José L. (Elsevier, 2021)

  Applying pruning residues in the lanes of olive groves has become a popular practice because it is economical and accrues benefits for soil and water management. This study presents an analysis of the impact of different ...

• Use of Optimization Modeling to Assess the Effect of Timber and Carbon Pricing on Harvest Scheduling, Carbon Sequestration, and Net Present Value of Eucalyptus Plantations 

  Hirigoyen, Andrés; Acuna, Mauricio; Rachid-Casnati, Cecilia; Franco, Jorge; Navarro Cerrillo, Rafael M. (MDPI, 2021)

  Quantifying the impact of carbon (C) and timber prices on harvest scheduling and economic returns is essential to define strategies for the sustainable management of short-rotation plantations so that they can provide ...
