Abstract Pinus Pinaster Ait. is a softwood species indigenous of the South West of Europe,
broadly spread alongside the Mediterranean Sea and present worldwide. Pinus Pinaster …

Tree height is an important trait in forest science and is highly associated with the site quality
from which the trees are measured. However, other factors, such as competition and species …

Site index (SI) is a common measure of forest site productivity, serving as a valuable
baseline for forest management. The main objective of this study was to develop a SI model …

Forest management planning can be challenging when allocating multiple ecosystem
services (ESs) to management units (MUs), given the potentially conflicting management …

Site productivity remains a fundamental concern in forestry as a significant driver of resource
availability for tree growth. The site index (SI) reflects the overall impact of all environmental …

This study examined different pruning intensities, and the subsequent tree responses, in
young trees from a network of permanent plots established in two of the most important …

Wildfires impact the outcomes of forest management plans. Addressing that impact is thus
critical for effective forest ecosystem management planning. This paper presents research …

Dominant height growth equations, which given at some base age is defined as site index, is
usually used to assess site quality. A flexible and accurate way to represent the potential …

Climate change is driving worldwide efforts to mitigate and reverse the increasing
anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. Forests can uptake considerable amounts …

This research aims at presenting landscape management planning methods to help
stakeholders select forest ecosystem management plans that may address concerns with …
