70 years of land use/land cover changes in the Apennines (Italy): a meta-analysis
Land use science usually adopts a case study approach to investigate landscape change
processes, so we considered a meta-analysis an appropriate tool for summarizing general …

Tree spatial patterns and stand attributes in temperate forests: The importance of plot size, sampling design, and null model
Detection of tree spatial patterns and structural attributes in a forest stand can provide critical
information on occurring dynamics, and steer management decisions. However, since tree …

Pine recolonization dynamics in Mediterranean human-disturbed treeline ecotones
Worldwide treelines seem to share a twofold condition: over 50% of them are advancing and
50% appear to be static. In this study we compared the encroachment patterns of four pine …
