Conversion of agricultural lands to forest plantations to mitigate rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) has been proposed, but it depends on accurate estimation of the on-site carbon (C) stocks distribution. The use of ...

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 ...

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 ...

The connectivity of forest ecosystems is increasingly recognized as a key factor in evaluating the sustainability of forest management, with significant implications for biodiversity conservation. This study examines the ...

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. ...

Desde la última mitad del siglo XX, los bosques de Quercus y dehesas del sur de la Península Ibérica vienen experimentando un progresivo deterioro forestal de sus masas arbóreas, denominado, de forma genérica, como decaimiento ...
