Use of native species to improve carbon sequestration and contribute towards solving the environmental problems of the timberlands in Biscay, northern Spain.
(Elsevier, 2013-03-15)
The rapid transformation of natural forest areas into fast-growing exotic species plantations, where the main objective is timber and pulp production, has led to a neglect of other services forests provide in many parts ...
Does forest fragmentation affect the same way all growth-forms?
(Elsevier, 2011-09-15)
Fragmentation of natural habitats is one of the main causes of the loss of biodiversity. However, all plants
do not respond to habitat fragmentation in the same way due to differences in species traits. We studied
the ...
Co-benefits and trade-offs between biodiversity, carbon storage and water flow regulation
(Elsevier, 2012-12-05)
The trade-offs between biodiversity, carbon storage and water flow regulation were analysed in a biosphere reserve area. With the aim of proposing criteria for conservation plans that would include ecosystem services and ...
Integrating stakeholders’ demands and scientific knowledge on ecosystem services in landscape planning
(Springer, 2014-02-07)
The conflict between conservation and timber production is shifting in regions such as Biscay (Basque Country, northern Spain) where planted forests are no longer profitable without public subsidies and environmentalist ...
Can understorey native woodland plant species regenerate under exotic pine plantations using natural succession?
(Elsevier, 2013-08-26)
Forestry industry in many European countries has begun to focus on sustainable forest management practices, and consequently, a greater emphasis is now being placed on the restoration and enhancement of native woodlands ...
Relevance for decision making of spatially explicit, participatory scenarios for ecosystem services in an area of a high current demand
(Elsevier, 2015-07-23)
Participatory ecosystem services scenarios can be used to inform decision making on the sustainable or wise use of biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (ES). To establish the plausibility and coherency of the recently ...
Provisioning ecosystem services supply and demand: the role of landscape management to reinforce supply and promote synergies with other ecosystem services
(Elsevier, 2015-03-14)
Currently, trade enables regions to have a higher provisioning ecosystem services (ES) demand than that provided by ecosystems in the same region. This practice leads to a supply and demand provisioning ES scale mismatch, ...
From the individual to the landscape and back: time-varying effects of climate and herbivory on tree sapling growth at distribution limits.
(Wiley, 2015-12-14)
1. As herbivory can modulate climate-induced shifts in species distribution, disentangling the relative importance of herbivory and climate on plant growth can help to predict and manage future changes in vegetation, such ...
Efficacy of management policies on protection and recovery of natural ecosystems in the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve
(Natural Areas Association, 2011-10-01)
Knowledge of landscape patterns and dynamics is essential for land use planners and natural resources managers. They need to know how landscapes have changed in order to determine the consequences and efficacy of the ...
Resilience to drought in a dry forest: insights from demographic rates
(Elsevier, 2017-04)
Concern is rising on whether forest function and structure will recover from drought-related impacts, which are expected to increase under global warming. Understanding demographic mechanisms underlying resilience (i.e. ...
