Aim of the study: Thinning experiments in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands have been
carried out since long in different regions of its distribution. The aim of this paper is to gather …

The course of tree growth, especially the level and persistence until advanced age, indicates
the competitivenes and fitness of trees and determines stand structure and dynamics. The …

Abstract In Valais, a dry Inner-Alpine valley in Switzerland, increasing tree mortality has
been related to drought and reduced forest management, which have led to increased …

I have attempted to reach a wide range of readers, from those with no formal forestry
education through to forest scientists involved in research. This has meant dealing with …

We are currently witnessing significant global changes in climate conditions. We cannot
change the natural conditions, but with regard to sustainable landscape management, we …

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 …

In Mediterranean forestry, it is important to improve knowledge about mixed stands
dynamics, including their productivity. Previous studies have focused on the interactions …

In many regions of the world, drought is projected to increase under climate change, with
potential negative consequences for forests and their ecosystem services (ES). Forest …

In the Mediterranean region most climatic forecasts predict longer and more intense drought
periods that can affect tree growth and mortality over broad geographic regions. One of the …

Previous research has provided insights into the potential response of growth and water use
efficiency to thinning in Mediterranean forests, but little is known about the potential benefits …
