Airborne Laser Scanning Cartography of On-Site Carbon Stocks as a Basis for the Silviculture of Pinus Halepensis Plantations
(MDPI, 2018)
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 ...
Contrasting Response to Drought and Climate of Planted and Natural Pinus pinaster Aiton Forests in Southern Spain
(MDPI, 2019)
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 ...
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 ...
Cumulative Drought Stress Leads to a Loss of Growth Resilience and Explains Higher Mortality in Planted than in Naturally Regenerated Pinus pinaster Stands
(MDPI, 2018)
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 ...
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 ...
Is thinning an alternative when trees could die in response to drought? The case of planted Pinus nigra and P. Sylvestris stands in southern Spain
(Elsevier, 2019)
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 ...
