Soil microclimate is a potentially important regulator of the composition plant-associated fungal communities in climates with significant drought periods. Here, we investigated spatio-temporal dynamics soil Mediterranean Pinus pinaster forest relation to moisture and temperature. Fungal 336 samples collected monthly over 1 year from 28 long-term experimental plots were assessed by PacBio sequencing ITS2 amplicons. Total biomass was estimated analysing ergosterol. Community changes analysed...
Tree phenology is sensitive to climate warming and changes in seasonal precipitation. Long xylogenesis records are scarce, thus limiting our ability analyse how radial growth responds variability. Alternatively, process-based models can be used simulate intra-annual dynamics better understand why bimodality varies along temperature precipitation gradients. We the Vaganov-Shashkin (VS) model main climatic drivers of eight trees shrubs conifers (four pines four junipers) across Spain. selected...
Multiple-use forestry requires comprehensive planning to maximize the utilization and sustainability of many forest resources whose growth productivity are interconnected. Forest fungi represent an economically important nonwood resource that provides food, medicine, recreation worldwide. A vast majority edible marketed mushrooms belong grow symbiotically with trees. To respond need for tools multiple-use forestry, we developed empirical models predicting production wild in pine forests...
Abstract Mushrooms are an important product of the pine stands Central Pyrenees Catalonia. In places where microclimate is reasonably moist, value mushrooms may be clearly higher than timber production. This study examines optimal economic management for both and in even-aged Scots Black Empirical mushroom yield models were integrated a stand growth simulator, which was linked with optimization algorithm to find schedule Pinus sylvestris nigra on different sites prices. The results showed...
Abstract Mushrooms are important non-wood-forest-products in many Mediterranean ecosystems, being highly vulnerable to climate change. However, the ecological scales of variation mushroom productivity and diversity, dependence has been usually overlooked due a lack available data. We determined spatio-temporal variability epigeous sporocarps climatic factors driving their fruiting plan future sustainable management wild mushrooms production. collected bodies Pinus sylvestris stands along an...
Background: The objective of this study was to analyze the current situation truffle sector in main producing countries Mediterranean area. Additionally, we identified challenges for future and priority actions develop region. Methods: We used a Delphi process approach, selected total 17 expert panelists different positions within supply chain target (Spain, France, Italy, Croatia, Greece). Results: results obtained allowed us have complete description chain. confirmed an evolution due...
There is growing concern that changing climate and disturbance regimes are will result in widespread forest regeneration failure, thus, there an increasing need for developing management adaptation strategies to promote under change. Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster), ecologically economically relevant tree species inside outside its natural range, likely face such difficulties as drought the main cause of seedling mortality this species. Understanding interactions between silviculture...
