Modelling the dynamics of oak-pine Mediterranean forests in a climate change scenario
Climate change is affecting forest communities all around the globe. Increased aridity due to warmer temperatures is causing widespread cases of drought-induced forest dieback, thus altering forest dynamics. This is particularly noticeable in dry areas, such as the Mediterranean, where many species...

| Sumario: | Climate change is affecting forest communities all around the globe. Increased aridity due to warmer temperatures is causing widespread cases of drought-induced forest dieback, thus altering forest dynamics. This is particularly noticeable in dry areas, such as the Mediterranean, where many species are found at the dry edge of their distribution. In this study we use a forest succession model, ForClim, to bring some insight into how two currently dominant species (Pinus sylvestris and Quercus humilis) will behave under the expected climate change in Catalonia, NE Spain, where they currently coexist. |
