Aim of the study: To review and acknowledge the value of carbon sequestration by forest
management in the Mediterranean area. Material and methods: We review the main effects …

Mangrove forests store and sequester large area-specific quantities of blue carbon (Corg).
Except for tundra and peatlands, mangroves store more Corg per unit area than any other …

Aim of study: Modelling of forest growth and dynamics has focused mainly on pure stands.
Mixed-forest management lacks systematic procedures to forecast the impact of silvicultural …

To estimate forest carbon pools from forest inventories it is necessary to have biomass
models or biomass expansion factors. In this study, tree biomass models were developed for …

Quantifying the carbon balance in forests is one of the main challenges in forest
management. Forest carbon stocks are usually estimated indirectly through biomass …

Radial increment analyses allow us to determine tree responses to weather and tree
competition, thus enabling the development of management strategies for adapting forest …

The effects of silvicultural treatments on carbon sequestration are poorly understood,
particularly in areas like the Mediterranean where soil fertility is low and climatic conditions …

Ecosystems in the western Mediterranean basin have undergone intense changes in land
use throughout the centuries, resulting in areas with severe alterations. Today, most these …

The current chapter describes the ecological context and post-fire management practices for
the most important and fire-prone coniferous tree species in the Mediterranean Basin, the …

The practice of multicriteria forest management planning is often complicated by the need to
explicit a priori goals and preferences of the decisionmaker. This manuscript aims at …
