The global forest carbon (C) stock is estimated at 662 Gt of which 45% is in soil organic
matter. Thus, comprehensive understanding of the effects of forest management practices on …

We reviewed recent literature to identify the positive and negative effects of thinning on both
stand-and tree-level resistance and resilience to four stressors that are expected to increase …

As global climate becomes warmer, the maintenance of the structure and function of
Mediterranean forests constitutes a key challenge to forest managers. Despite the need for …

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 …

Forest dieback processes linked to drought are expected to increase due to climate
warming. Remotely sensed data offer several advantages over common field monitoring …

How drought affects tree and stand growth is an old question, but is getting unprecedented
relevance in view of climate change. Stress effects related to drought have been mostly …

As the climate changes, it is increasingly important to understand how forests will respond to
drought and how forest management can influence those outcomes. In many forests that …

Compared with far-developed measures and methods for mono-specific forest stands, the
silvicultural prescriptions for mixed-species stands are at their early beginning. However …

Understanding forest responses to the current climate change requires to investigate the
effects of competition, buffering or enhancing process of forests decline. Here we attempt to …

In northern Mediterranean forests, increasing drought stress due to the on-going climate
change is combined with stand ageing due to the lack of management. Management by …
