La Reserva Forestal protectora Regional Farallones del Citará, zona objeto de este estudio, se localiza en la Cordillera Occidental de Colombia y representa uno de los refugios más importantes de flora y fauna silvestres, ...

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 ...

While much is known about the factors that control each component of the terrestrial nitrogen (N) cycle, it is less clear how these factors affect total N availability, the sum of organic and inorganic forms potentially ...

Previous research has provided insights into the potential response of growth and water use efficiency to thinning in Mediterranean forests, but little is known about the potential benefits of silviculture for plantations ...

The purpose of this study was to assess desertification and to study the effects of land use change and climate change on hydrological variables in El Asi-Orontes watershed (Lebanon). This work presents a validated model ...

Forest managers are interested in forest-monitoring strategies using low density Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS). However, little research has used ALS to estimate soil organic carbon (SOC) as a criterion for operational ...

Global change (Land use change, climatic change, invasive species, land overuse and changes of biogeochemical cycles) together with biotic factors (pathogens and pests) is affecting the health of trees and forests in ...

The assessment of the long-term impacts of drought on tree growth decline using tree-ring analyses may be used to test if plantations are more vulnerable to warming after successive droughts, leading to a “cumulative ...
