5ª Edición de la Escuela de Verano de Ecología de la UPNA (2019)
Noticia de la celebración de la quinta edición de la Escuela de Verano de Ecología de la Universidad Pública de Navarra (UPNA), del 26 al 28 de junio de 2019, en el Museo de Educación Ambiental del Ayuntamiento de Pamplona ... -
7ª Edición de la Escuela de verano de Ecología de Navarra: 'Biodiversidad, interacciones bióticas y funciones ecosistémicas'
Noticia de la celebración de la séptima edición de la Escuela de Verano de Ecología de Navarra, celebrada el 2 de septiembre de 2021, en la que se impartieron cuatro ponencias. -
Actions for the restoration of the biodiversity of forest ecosystems in Cuba
The Earth is threatened daily by the degradation of its ecosystems due to fragmentation. One of the main consequences is biodiversity loss. Despite the economic progress and conservation actions carried out in many countries, ... -
Los bosques españoles como soluciones naturales frente al cambio climático: herramientas de análisis y modelización: reseña
Reseña del libro que forma parte de la serie de informes sobre el Plan Nacional de Adaptación al Cambio Climático publicada por el Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico del Gobierno de España. -
Bosques, suelo y agua: explorando sus interacciones
Miles de millones de personas sufren los efectos de un acceso inadecuado al agua (Mekonnen y Hoekstra 2016). En muchas regiones del mundo la explotación excesiva de los recursos hídricos disponibles, el mal de uso de ... -
Bringing the natives back: identifying and alleviating establishment limitations of native hardwood species in a conifer plantation
To facilitate the reintroduction of five native late-successional Taiwanese Fagaceae species into Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica (D.) Don) plantations, we experimented with methods to alleviate their establishment ... -
Calculadora de sostenibilidad FIRST-Heat Navarra: generando energía sostenible al reducir el riesgo de incendios forestales en comunidades rurales
El cambio climático, la expansión urbanística o el aumento del uso recreativo en zonas forestales están aumentando la probabilidad de ocurrencia de incendios forestales. Las comunidades rurales pueden afrontar la oportunidad ... -
Carbon density in boreal forests responds non-linearly to temperature: an example from the Greater Khingan Mountains, northeast China
Boreal forests play a crucial role in the global carbon (C) cycle and in climate stabilization. To better predict global C budgets, it is important to accurately estimate the size of forest C pools, and to identify the ... -
Changes in long-term light properties of a mixed conifer–broadleaf forest in Southwestern Europe
Natural and anthropogenic factors affect forest structure worldwide, primarily affecting forest canopy and its light properties. However, not only stand-replacing events modify canopy structure, but disturbances of lower ... -
Climate-forest-water-people relations: seven system delineations
In this chapter, we review current scientific understanding and hypotheses at seven system delineations that build up from the level of a ‘tree’ interacting with water, to that of a social-ecological system at the scale ... -
CO2 fertilization plays a minor role in long-term carbon accumulation patterns in temperate pine forests in the southwestern Pyrenees
Isolating the long-term fertilization effect of CO 2 from other climate- and site-related effects on tree growth has been proven a challenging task. To isolate long-term effects of [CO2] on water use efficiency at ... -
Coarse woody debris' invertebrate community is affected directly by canopy type and indirectly by thinning in mixed scots pine-European beech forests
Research Highlights: Thinning and tree species alter the forest floor microclimate by modifying canopy cover, radiation, wind, and humidity. Thus, forest management can directly influence the edaphic mesofauna responsible ... -
Determinants and tools to evaluate the ecological sustainability of using forest biomass as an alternative energy source
Forest biomass, the most ancient of fuels, is again in the center of renewable energy production. This chapter provides an introductory view of the main factors that condition the ecological sustainability of this energy ... -
Determinants of the forest-water relationship
Our analysis of forest-water relations addresses four important subsystems of a linked planetary social-ecological system: climate, forests, water and people. In this chapter, we consider how each of these subsystems ... -
Determining suitable selection cutting intensities based on long term observations on above-ground forest carbon, growth, and stand structure in Changbai Mountain, Northeast China
We studied the effects of different cutting intensities (0%, 5-10%, 15%, and 20% basal area removal) on stand growth, structure, and net carbon storage in spruce-fir (Picea asperata Mast.-Abies fabri Mast. Craib) and ... -
Douglas-fir radial growth in interior British Columbia can be linked to long-term oscillations in Pacific and Atlantic sea surface temperatures
A major problem in modern dendrochronology is that the methods traditionally used for linking tree ring growth data to climate records are not well suited to reconstructing low-frequency climatic variations. In this study, ... -
Drought-induced changes in wood density are not prevented by thinning in Scots pine stands
Density is an important wood mechanical property and an indicator of xylem architecture and hydraulic conductivity. It can be influenced by forest management and climate. We studied the impact of thinning and climate ... -
Effects of nitrogen deposition on carbon sequestration in Chinese fir forests ecosystems
Nitrogen deposition and its ecologic effects on forest ecosystems have received global attention. In this paper, the ecosystem model FORECAST was used to assess the effects of nitrogen deposition on carbon sequestration ... -
ENSO and NAO affect long-term leaf litter dynamics and stoichiometry of Scots pine and European beech mixedwoods
Litterfall dynamics (production, seasonality and nutrient composition) are key factors influencing nutrient cycling. Leaf litter characteristics are modified by species composition, site conditions and water availability. ... -
¿Están los bosques mixtos pirenaicos de pino silvestre y haya en el camino hacia la saturación por nitrógeno?
Las actividades humanas causan altos niveles de deposición atmosférica crónica de N que pueden estar trastornando el ciclo del N en los bosques de los Pirineos occidentales. Para probar esta hipótesis, se han investigado ...
