Comparison of Errors Produced by ABA and ITC Methods for the Estimation of Forest Inventory Attributes at Stand and Tree Level in Pinus radiata Plantations in Chile
(MDPI, 2023)
Airborne laser scanning (ALS) technology is fully implemented in forest resource assessment processes, providing highly accurate and spatially continuous results throughout the area of interest, thus reducing inventory ...
Planted or Natural Pine Forests, Which One Will Better Recover after Drought? Insights from Tree Growth and Stable C and H Isotopes
(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 ...
Temporal changes in mediterranean pine forest biomass using synergy models of ALOS PALSAR-Sentinel 1-Landsat 8 Sensors
(MDPI, 2023)
Currently, climate change requires the quantification of carbon stored in forest biomass. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data offers a significant advantage over other remote detection measurement methods in providing ...
Aridity gradients shape intraspecific variability of morphological traits in native Ceratonia siliqua L. of Morocco
(MDPI, 2023)
The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) is a significant fruit tree in the Mediterranean region with cultural, biological, and ecological importance. Despite its importance, intraspecific trait variability (ITV) in carob ...
Recovery of neglected species with cloud water micro condense capacity as a response to climate change: the case of Sclerophyllous Boxwoods of Buxus balearica Lam. in the Southern Spanish Mediterranean
(MDPI, 2023)
Understanding the survival needs of neglected or underutilized species (NUS) in agroforestry can offer valuable insights to mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss. This paper analyses the habitat heterogeneity of ...
Irrigation alternatives for avocado (Persea Americana Mill.) in the Mediterranean Subtropical region in the context of climate change: a review
(MDPI, 2023)
Due to congenital features, avocado (Persea Americana Mill.) trees are substantial water users relative to other fruit trees. The current growing deficiency of water resources, especially in arid and semi-arid avocado-producing ...
Site index estimation using airborne laser scanner data in Eucalyptus dunnii maide stands in Uruguay
(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 ...
Forest plantations in Manabí (Ecuador): assessment of fragmentation and connectivity to support dry tropical forests conservation
(MDPI, 2023)
In many tropical regions, national forests plantation programs have been promoted. Those plantations frequently contribute to habitat changes. However, the associated effects of forest plantations on habitat fragmentation ...
Study of potential of reforested areas in the province of Manabí (Ecuador)
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2023)
El Ecuador posee extensas áreas de bosque primario, especialmente ubicadas en la Región Amazónica, en las cordilleras de la región andina y en las zonas húmedas y secas de la región Costa. Siendo estos los principales ...
Assessing the spatiotemporal patterns and impacts of droughts in the Orinoco river basin using earth observations data and surface observations
(MDPI, 2023)
Droughts impact the water cycle, ecological balance, and socio-economic development in various regions around the world. The Orinoco River Basin is a region highly susceptible to droughts. The basin supports diverse ...
