En la cuenca mediterránea, las proyecciones relativas al cambio climático señalan un incremento de temperaturas máximas y mínimas aumento olas calor sequías extremas que, en relación con los incendios forestales, implican del riesgo, intensidad severidad mismos. Por ello, selvicultura adaptativa debe preparar masas forestales para minimizar el daño causado por fuego maximizar su capacidad recuperación. este contexto, aplicación prescrito constituye una herramienta gran utilidad modificación...
Aim of study: To assess the effect prescribed underburning (PB) and tapping on resin yields in maritime pine stands. We hypothesized that PB reduces fire hazard, generates stress at cambium level potentially increases number canals yield after tapping. Area Northern Plateau Iberian Peninsula, central-eastern Spain. Material methods: Six 50 m x plots were established a Pinus pinaster Ait. stand, three which burned tapped 2018 controls (tapped only). Resin was monitored 90 trees over four...
We investigated the influence of fire severity, logging burnt wood, local ecological factors and their interaction on natural regeneration, survival growth maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.), following a that took place in 2005. During period 2006–2020, sample 1900 seedlings were monitored, which three post-fire treatments applied: (1) Early (before seedling emergence); (2) Delayed (after (3) No management. Multivariate semi-parametric non-parametric techniques used to model survival,...
To explore the possible relationship between diseased trees and wildfires, we assessed flammability of canker-resistant susceptible common cypress clones that were artificially infected with Seiridium cardinale compared to healthy trees. This study explored effect terpenoids produced by host plant in response infection presence dead portions on flammability. Terpenoids extracted quantified foliage bark samples gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). A Mass Loss Calorimeter was used...
Little is known about the interactions between variables involved in post-fire response of Mediterranean pine species to prescribed burning (PB). Thus, it essential develop an empirical model order assess influence tree and stand attributes, burn season, fire severity on probability stem cambium damage occurring. Prescribed burnings were conducted different seasons areas covering a wide climatic ecological range. Potential explanatory measured. A random effects hurdle framework was used...
Abstract Context Climate change and land-use changes are the main drivers altering fire regime leading to occurrence of megafires. Current management policies focus on short-term restoration without considering how climate affects regeneration dynamics. Objectives We aimed test usefulness ecological niche models (ENMs) in post-fire plans, assessing short long-term effects (climate change) tree species distribution. We, also, examined different important conceptual methodological aspects....
