Useful Life of Prescribed Fires in a Southern Mediterranean Basin: An Application to Pinus pinaster Stands in the Sierra Morena Range
(MDPI, 2021)
Prescribed fire is a globally relevant fuel treatment for surface fuel management and wildfire hazard reduction. However, Mediterranean ecosystems are adapted to low and moderate fires; hence, the useful life of prescribed ...
Fuel Modelling Characterisation Using Low-Density LiDAR in the Mediterranean: An Application to a Natural Protected Area
(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 ...
Organic carbon in agricultural and agroforestry soils: Effect of different management practices
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2021)
Soil is a global resource that has the capacity to contain large amounts of organic carbon. In fact, soils contain more carbon than plants and the atmosphere combined. However, in recent decades human activities such as ...
Thinning Effect of C Sequestration along an Elevation Gradient of Mediterranean Pinus spp. Plantations
(MDPI, 2021)
Forests are key elements in mitigating the effects of climate change due to the fact of their carbon sequestration capacity. Forest management can be oriented to optimise the carbon sequestration capacity of forest stands, ...
Divergent abiotic spectral pathways unravel pathogen stress signals across species
(Springer Nature, 2021)
Plant pathogens pose increasing threats to global food security, causing yield losses that exceed 30% in food-deficit regions. Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) represents the major transboundary plant pest and one of the world’s ...
Modelling hyperspectral- and thermal-based plant traits for the early detection of Phytophthora-induced symptoms in oak decline
(Science Direct, 2021)
Holm oak decline is a complex phenomenon mainly influenced by the presence of Phytophthora cinnamomi and water stress. Plant functional traits (PTs) are altered during the decline process — initially affecting the physiological ...
Assessing the contribution of understory sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence through 3-D radiative transfer modelling and field data
(Science Direct, 2021)
A major international effort has been made to monitor sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) from space as a proxy for the photosynthetic activity of terrestrial vegetation. However, the effect of spatial heterogeneity ...
Effects of two water regimes on morphological traits, nutritive value and physiology of three Bituminaria bituminosa varieties from the Canary Islands
(Wiley, 2021)
Morphological traits, nutritive values and physiological responses to two different water regimes of three Bituminaria bituminosa varieties: var. albomarginata, var. crassiuscula and var. bituminosa were evaluated in a ...
