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 ...
Large-Scale Mapping of Complex Forest Typologies Using Multispectral Imagery and Low-Density Airborne LiDAR: A Case Study in Pinsapo Fir Forests
(MDPI, 2024)
Climate change increases the vulnerability of relict forests. To address this problem, regional Forest Services require silvicultural and conservation actions to designate specific forest management alternatives. In this ...
Biotic and abiotic effects determining the resilience of conifer mountain forests: The case study of the endangered Spanish fir
(Elsevier, 2022)
Variations in temperature and rainfall patterns due to climate change will lead to alterations in the potential habitat of species. This change will affect the interactions between species, being more evident in vulnerable ...
Evolution and Paradigm Shift in Forest Health Research: A Review on of Global Trends and Knowledge Gaps
(MDPI, 2024)
Forest health is an attractive concept in forestry research, which environmental, social, and political interests have shaped. Assessing forest health is crucial, but finding a single definition of the concept is complex. ...
Drought stress and pests increase defoliation and mortality rates in vulnerable Abies pinsapo forests
(Forest Ecology and Management, 2022)
Forest ecosystems are increasingly exposed to the combined pressure of climate change and attacks by pests and pathogens. These stress factors can threaten already vulnerable species triggering dieback and rising defoliation ...
