Pinus pinea is an important Mediterranean species due to its adaptability and tolerance to aridity and its high-quality pine nuts. Different forest types located in Mediterranean native and nonnative environments provide ...

The increasing occurrence of dry and hot summers generates chronic water deficits that negatively affect tree radial growth. This phenomenon has been widely studied in natural stands of native species but not in commercial ...

Thinning focused on achieving growth and diameter management objectives has typically led to stands with reduced climate sensitivity compared to unthinned stands. We integrated dendrochronological with Airborne Laser Scanner ...

Proactive silviculture treatments (e.g., thinning) may increase C sequestration contributing to climate change mitigation, although, there are still questions about this effect in Mediterranean pine forests. The aim of ...

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 ...

Understanding how regional and local climate variability drive radial growth in trees is necessary to assess the climate-warming mitigation potential of forests. However, tree species occurring in the same region differently ...
