• Thinning Effect of C Sequestration along an Elevation Gradient of Mediterranean Pinus spp. Plantations 

  Cachinero-Vivar, Antonio M.; Palacios Rodríguez, Guillermo; Lara-Gómez, Miguel; Navarro Cerrillo, Rafael M. (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, ...

• Deforestation and Biomass Production in Miombo Forest in Huambo (Angola): A Balance between Local and Global Needs 

  Miapia, Luis M.; Ariza-Mateos, David; Lacerda-Quartín, Virgínia; Palacios Rodríguez, Guillermo (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 ...

• Fuel Modelling Characterisation Using Low-Density LiDAR in the Mediterranean: An Application to a Natural Protected Area 

  Ferrer Palomino, Aurora; Rodríguez y Silva, Francisco (MDPI, 2021)

  Fuel structure and characteristics are important to better understand and predict wildfire behaviour. The aim of the present study was to develop a methodology for characterising fuel models using low-density and free LiDAR ...

• Linking functional traits with tree growth and forest productivity in Quercus ilex forests along a climatic gradient 

  Salazar, Pablo; Díaz Herráiz, Aurelio; Olmo, Manuel; Ruiz-Benito, Paloma; Barrón, Vidal; Crespo Bastias, Cristina; García de la Riva, Enrique; Villar, Rafael (Elsevier, 2021)

  Plant functional traits are highly plastic to changes in climatic factors and nutrient availability. However, the intraspecific plant response to abiotic factors and the overall effect on tree growth and productivity is ...

• Investigating the potential of Sentinel-2 configuration to predict the quality of Mediterranean permanent grasslands in open woodlands 

  Fernández-Habas, Jesús; García-Moreno, Alma María; Hidalgo-Fernández, Mª Teresa; Leal-Murillo, José Ramón; Abellanas Oar, B.; Gómez Giráldez, Pedro Jesús; González-Dugo, Maria P.; Fernández Rebollo, Pilar (Elsevier, 2021)

  The assessment of pasture quality in permanent grasslands is essential for their conservation and management, as it can contribute to making real-time decisions for livestock management. In this study, we assessed the ...
