Aim Mediterranean terrestrial ecosystems serve as reference laboratories for the
investigation of global change because of their transitional climate, the high spatiotemporal …

Compared with disturbance maps produced at annual or multi-year time steps, monthly
mapping of forest harvesting can provide more temporal details needed for studying the …

Terrestrial photosynthesis is the basis for vegetation growth and drives the land carbon
cycle. Accurately simulating gross primary production (GPP, ecosystem-level apparent …

Fire suppression policies and “active management” in response to wildfires are being
carried out by land managers globally, including millions of hectares of mixed conifer and …

Although Mediterranean ecosystems are adapted to fire disturbances, soils are prone to
degradation. Therefore, post-fire forest management is a critical step for ecosystem recovery …

Wildfires, insect outbreaks, and windstorms are increasingly common forest disturbances.
Post-disturbance management often involves salvage logging, ie, the felling and removal of …

Post-fire management can have an additional impact on the ecosystem; in some cases,
even more severe than the fire. Salvage logging (SL) is a common practice in most fire …

After wildfires in Mediterranean ecosystems, ruderal mosses are pioneer species, stabilizing
the soil surface previous to the establishment of vascular vegetation. However, little is known …

After a wildfire, moss crust develops in early post-fire stages revealing important roles
related to soil erosion prevention and increase of soil fertility. However, the post-fire …

Climate change is anticipated to increase the frequency of disturbances, potentially
impacting carbon stocks in terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known about the …
