Potential for, and limits to, adaptation to environmental changes are critical for resilience and
risk mitigation. The Mediterranean basin is a mosaic of biodiversity‐rich ecosystems long …

Severe droughts limit tree growth and forest productivity worldwide, a phenomenon which is
expected to aggravate over the next decades. However, how drought intensity and climatic …

In Mediterranean areas where drought-induced forest dieback and tree mortality have been
widely reported, it is still under debate how the likely risks of climate change will affect tree …

Terrestrial lidar (TLiDAR) has been used increasingly over recent years to assess tree
architecture and to extract metrics of forest canopies. Analysis of TLiDAR data remains a …

This paper synthesizes and reviews literature concerning climate change effects on
Mediterranean forest ecology and management as well as the restorative techniques …

Rainfall interception by the forest cover causes an important reduction in bulk rainfall in
semiarid climates, such as the Mediterranean. Unmanaged, dense pine stands in this area …

There is great interest in determining the effects of forest thinning as a tool to improve growth
recovery from drought in different tree species and climatic conditions. However, we lack a …

The current chapter describes the ecological context and post-fire management practices for
the most important and fire-prone coniferous tree species in the Mediterranean Basin, the …

Context Mediterranean pines share many common life-history traits. They are found at
almost all altitudinal levels around the Mediterranean Basin, from sea level to high-elevation …

To understand better the adaptation strategies of intra-annual radial growth in Pinus
halepensis and Pinus sylvestris to local environmental conditions, we examined the …
