Crown bulk density and fuel moisture dynamics in Pinus pinaster stands are neither modified by thinning nor captured by the Forest Fire Weather Index
(Springer-Verlag, 2017-06-28)Key message. No temporal change was recorded during summer in fuel availability in Pinus pinaster stands, contrary to predictions from the Forest Fire Weather Index. Also, thinning had no mid-term effect on fuel moisture ... -
A broad-scale analysis of the main factors determining the current structure and understory composition of Catalonian sub-alpine (Pinus uncinata Ram.) forests
(Oxford University Press, 2011-12-13)A broad-scale analysis of the structure and understory composition of Pyrenean mountain pine (Pinus uncinata Ram.) stands was performed using data from the Spanish National Forest Inventory. Twelve structure-based forest ... -
Climatic controls of decomposition drive the global biogeography of forest-tree symbioses
(Nature Research (part of Springer Nature), 2019-05-19)The identity of the dominant root-associated microbial symbionts in a forest determines the ability of trees to access limiting nutrients from atmospheric or soil pools1,2, sequester carbon3,4 and withstand the effects of ... -
La forestación de tierras agrícolas: balance de un instrumento de política forestal para el cambio del uso de la tierra
(Sociedad Española de Ciencias Forestales, 2019-09-11)Se han cumplido 25 años del inicio del programa de forestación de tierras agrarias con motivo de la reforma de la Política Agrícola Comunitaria (PAC) en 1992. El objetivo de este estudio es realizar un análisis global, a ... -
Reconstructing Bronze Age diets and farming strategies at the early Bronze Age sites of La Bastida and Gatas (southeast Iberia) using stable isotope analysis
(Public Library of Science, 2020-03-11)The El Argar society of the Bronze Age in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula (2200–1550 cal BCE) was among the first complex societies in Europe. Its economy was based on cereal cultivation and metallurgy, it was ... -
Innovation networks on Mediterranean non wood forest products
(Bursa Technical University, 2019-06-24)Non Wood Forest Products (NWFPs) are important resources for rural economies. Highly regarded food products are collected from Mediterranean forests, such as nuts, berries, mushrooms and truffles, as well as aromatic and ... -
Plant species colonization in newly created road habitats of South Korea: insights for more effective restoration
(Elsevier, 2020-02-20)Despite the advances in restoration methods for newly created road habitats such as roadcuts and embankments, implementation in different parts of the world is limited by high cost and lack of knowledge of naturally formed ... -
The Catalan butterfly monitoring scheme has the capacity to detect effects of modifying agricultural practices
(Ecological Society of America, 2020-01-24)Impacts of agricultural management practices on the receiving environment are seldom suitably assessed because environmental monitoring is costly. In this regard, data generated by already existing environmental survey ... -
Irrigation and tillage effects on soil nitrous oxide emissions in maize monoculture
(American Society of Agronomy, 2020-01-09)Irrigation and soil management can impact soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Flood and sprinkler irrigation systems together with conventional tillage are the main practices used in the high yielding maize systems in ... -
Riego por goteo suberráneo en cultivos de maíz y alfalfa
(Eumedia, 2019-02-01)En este artículo se presentan los resultados de un estudio técnico y económico sobre riego por goteo subterráneo en maíz y alfalfa. El estudio se ha llevado a cabo durante tres años en una finca de la provincia de Huesca. -
Earliness per se x temperature interaction consequences on leaf, spikelet and floret development in wheat
(Oxford University Press, 2019-12-26)Wheat adaptation can be fine-tuned by Eps genes. Although the effects of Eps genes are often assumed to act independently of the environment, previous studies have shown they exhibit temperature-sensitivity. Number of ... -
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access
(Wiley, 2019-12-31)Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem ... -
Yield models for predicting aboveground ectomycorrhizal fungal productivity in Pinus sylvestris and Pinus pinaster stands of northern Spain
(Springer Open, 2019-12-16)Background: Predictive models shed light on aboveground fungal yield dynamics and can assist decision-making in forestry by integrating this valuable non-wood forest product into forest management planning. However, the ... -
Importancia de la elección de la fecha de siembra de la alfalfa
(Eumedia, 2019-10)En general la fecha de siembra está altamente influenciada por elcultivo precedente. Sin embargo, hay otros condicionantes quepueden hacer que los agricultores se decanten por una fecha desiembra u otra. Pese a que existe ... -
Drought stress modifies early effective resistance and induced chemical defences of Aleppo pine against a chewing insect herbivore
(Elsevier, 2019-04-03)During their long lifespan, pines must cope with simultaneous abiotic and biotic stresses such as drought and herbivory. Mediterranean pines are isohydric species that rapidly close their stomata in response to drought ... -
Spatio‐temporal patterns of tree growth as related to carbon isotope fractionation in European forests under changing climate
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2019-06-07)Aim The aim was to decipher Europe‐wide spatio‐temporal patterns of forest growth dynamics and their associations with carbon isotope fractionation processes inferred from tree rings as modulated by climate warming. Location ... -
Growth, wood anatomy and stable isotopes show species-specific couplings in three Mexican conifers inhabiting drought-prone areas
(Elsevier, 2019-08-22)An improved understanding of how tree species will respond to warmer conditions and longer droughts requires comparing their responses across different environmental settings and considering a multi-proxy approach. We used ... -
Recent loss of sensitivity to summer temperature constrains tree growth synchrony among boreal Eurasian forests
(Elsevier, 2019-02-01)High-latitude terrestrial ecosystems are crucial to the global climate system and its regulation by vegetation. Since productivity of boreal forests is much limited by low summer temperatures, it is expected that trees ... -
