Modeling Major Rural Land-Use Changes Using the GIS-Based Cellular Automata Metronamica Model: The Case of Andalusia (Southern Spain)
(MDPI, 2020)
The effective and efficient planning of rural land-use changes and their impact on the environment is critical for land-use managers. Many land-use growth models have been proposed for forecasting growth patterns in the ...
Deforestation and Biomass Production in Miombo Forest in Huambo (Angola): A Balance between Local and Global Needs
(MDPI, 2021)
Miombo is one of the most widely distributed ecosystems in Angola, with a great social and environmental value. Thus, the rural population uses the biomass as fuel and miombo provides important ecosystem services, 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, ...
Linkages between Climate, Radial Growth and Defoliation in Abies pinsapo Forests from Southern Spain
(MDPI, 2020)
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 ...
Long-Term Carbon Sequestration in Pine Forests under Different Silvicultural and Climatic Regimes in Spain
(MDPI, 2022)
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 ...
Land Suitability for Biological Wastewater Treatment in Lebanon and the Litani River Basin Using Fuzzy Logic and Analytical Hierarchy Process
(MDPI, 2022)
Biological wastewater treatment (BWWT) has been demonstrated to be a suitable procedure to degrade organic pollutants by utilizing natural processes. This paper presents a validated model to map land suitability for BWWT ...
Competition modulates the response of growth to climate in pure and mixed Abies pinsapo subsp. maroccana forests in northern Morocco
(Elsevier, 2020)
The effects of changes in structure and composition on the dynamics and responses of secondary forests to climate change are understudied. Secondary forests of Abies pinsapo var. maroccana are often a mosaic of patches of ...
