Carotenoid content estimation in a heterogeneous conifer forest using narrow-band indices and PROSPECT + DART simulations
(Science Direct, 2012)
The present study explored the use of narrow-band indices formulated in the visible spectral region at leaf and canopy levels to estimate carotenoid content. The research area was a pine forest affected by decline processes. ...
Aridity Modulates N Availability in Arid and Semiarid Mediterranean Grasslands
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
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 ...
Improvement of Remote Sensing-Based Assessment of Defoliation of Pinus spp. Caused by Thaumetopoea pityocampa Denis and Schiffermüller and Related Environmental Drivers in Southeastern Spain
(MDPI, 2019)
This study used Landsat temporal series to describe defoliation levels due to the Pine Processionary Moth (PPM) in Pinus forests of southeastern Andalusia (Spain), utilizing Google Earth Engine. A combination of remotely ...
Assessment of the Carbon Stock in Pine Plantations in Southern Spain through ALS Data and K-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm Based Models
(MDPI, 2019)
Accurate estimation of forest biomass to enable the mapping of forest C stocks over large areas is of considerable interest nowadays. Airborne laser scanning (ALS) systems bring a new perspective to forest inventories and ...
Distribution and Factors Influencing Organic Carbon Stock in Mountain Soils in Babia Góra National Park, Poland
(MDPI, 2019)
The objective of this study was to determine the soil organic carbon stock (T-SOC stock) in different mountain soils in the Babia Góra National Park (BNP). Environmental factors, such as the topography, parent material, ...
Modeling Mediterranean forest fuels by integrating field data and mapping tools
(Springer, 2011)
Fire behavior modeling systems are important in predicting wildfire risk, fire growth, and fire effects. However, simulation software requires a new fuel modeling to include fuel treatments, prescribed fire and the transition ...
Spatio-temporal analysis of oak decline process in open woodlands: A case study in SW Spain
(Elsevier, 2019)
This study aims to characterize at landscape level the spatio-temporal dynamics of a
massive oak decline that is occurring in dehesas ecosystems. We are looking at possibilities
of matching with Phytophthora disease ...
A methodology for determining operational priorities for prevention and suppression of wildland fires
(CSIRO, 2014)
Traditional uses of the forest (timber, forage) have been giving way to other uses more in demand (recreation, ecosystem services). An observable consequence of this process of forest land use conversion is an increase in ...
A system to evaluate fire impacts from simulated fire behavior in Mediterranean areas of Central Chile
(Elsevier, 2017)
Wildfires constitute the greatest economic disruption to Mediterranean ecosystems, from a socio-economic and ecological perspective (Molina et al., 2014). This study proposes to classify fire intensity levels based on ...
Integrating economic landscape valuation into Mediterranean territorial planning
(Elsevier, 2016)
Recent and rapid landscape changes have occurred over large areas in Mediterranean Basin. Wildfires and human activities are the most important disturbances at landscape-level due to their ecological and socio-economic ...
