After natural forest disturbances such as wildfires, windstorms and insect outbreaks, salvage
logging is commonly applied to reduce economic losses and mitigate subsequent …

Investigations of compound disturbances that alter forest resilience (ie, recovery time or
trajectory) have escalated over the past two decades. We used a systematic approach to …

Mediterranean forests are highly subjected to fire occurrence. Altered fire regimes resulting
from changes in land use and climate may jeopardize their resilience to fire and induce …

Billions of microorganisms perform critical below‐ground functions in all terrestrial
ecosystems. While largely invisible to the naked eye, they support all higher lifeforms, form …

Fire frequency and burn severity may increase in pine forests in the Mediterranean Basin
under the warmer and drier climate projected for this region. Our study aims to evaluate the …

Understanding post-fire recovery dynamics is critical for effective management that enhance
forest resilience to fire. Mediterranean pine forests have been largely affected by wildfires …

Background Mediterranean ecosystems dominated by Pinus pinaster Ait.(maritime pine) are
subject to a shift from fuel-limited to drought-driven fire regimes, characterized by an …

Forest managers demand reliable and cost-efficient methodologies to implement forest
resilience concepts in post-fire decision-making at different spatio-temporal scales. In this …

High severity stand-replacing wildfires can deeply affect forest ecosystems whose
composition includes plant species lacking fire-related traits and specific adaptations. Land …

Background The characterization of surface and canopy fuel loadings in fire-prone pine
ecosystems is critical for understanding fire behavior and anticipating the most harmful …
