Extreme drought events and increasing aridity are leading to forest decline and tree mortality, particularly in populations near the limits of the species distribution. Therefore, a better understanding of the growth ...

Systematic forest networks of health monitoring have been established to follow changes in tree vigor and mortality. These networks often lack long-term growth data, but they could be complemented with tree ring data, since ...

Antarctic beech forests (Nothofagus antarctica (G. Forst.) Oerst.) have shown a major decline process in the past few decades, together with an important lack of specific studies on this type of forest. The aim of this ...

The retrieval of indicators of vegetation stress from remote sensing imagery is an important issue for the accurate assessment of forest decline. The Photochemical Reflectance Index (PRI) has been demonstrated as a ...

Forest decline is nowadays a major challenge to management and sustainability of natural ecosystems worldwide. This syndrome is a multifactorial disease influenced by several biotic and abiotic agents such as alien ...

Dehesa is a unique ecosystem associated with high biodiversity, that integrates trees, livestock, and pasture, making agro-pastoral production compatible with sustainability. However, in the last few decades, a manifold ...

One of the main problem that forest management faces today is forest decline. There are numerous ecosystems in the world that face problems related to biotic and abiotic stresses with complex interactions between them and ...

Forest decline represents one of the most pressing challenges for the management and long-term sustainability of natural ecosystems worldwide. This complex phenomenon arises from the interplay of multiple biotic and abiotic ...
