Dynamics, Silviculture and Management of Mixed Forests de Andrés Bravo-Oviedo

Dynamics, Silviculture and Management of Mixed Forests: Managing Forest Ecosystems, cartea 31

Editat de Andrés Bravo-Oviedo, Hans Pretzsch, Miren del Río
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 dec 2018
The capacity of mixed forests to mitigate climate change effects by increasing resilience and lowering risks is pinpointed as an opportunity to highlight the role of tree species rich forests as part of complex socio-ecological systems.
This book updates and presents the state-of-the-art of mixed forest performance in terms of regeneration, growth, yield and delivery of ecosystem services. Examples from more than 20 countries in Europe, North Africa and South America provide insights on the interplay between structure and functionining, stability, silviculture and optimization of management of this type of forests. The book also analyses the role of natural mixed forests and mixed plantations in the delivery of ecosystem services and the best modelling strategy to study mixed forest dynamics.

The book is intended to serve as a reference tool for students, researchers and professionals concerned about the management of mixed forests in a context of social and environmental change.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Concerns about the loss of biodiversity and the negative consequences for resilience have oriented management to adopt a diversification strategy. The interplays between environmental drivers, forestry alternatives and social demands from mixed forests have opened appealing research questions whose answers needed to be addressed: what species mixture is better adapted to current environmental conditions and social demands?, what species composition would cope better with climate change?, are mixtures always more productive than monocultures?, what are the drivers of stability in mixed stands?, how do ecosystem processes and functions in mixed forests affect the delivery of ecosystem services? This book provides some answers to these questions as a result of scientific and stakeholder exchange during meetings and scientific missions in the framework of the European Network on Mixed Forests (EuMIXFOR). The book is included in the Springer’s book series Managing Forest Ecosystems inorder to present state-of-the-art relating to mixed forests, their management, silviculture and dynamics in a cross-border context including examples from Europe, North Africa, and South-America. EuMIXFOR was funded by COST Action FP1206. COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.
