How will climate change impact maritime pine forest distribution and productivi...
Alegria, Cristina Maria; Almeida, Alice M.; Ribeiro, Maria Margarida; Martins Roque, Natália; Fernandez, Paulo; Gerassis, SakiPortuguese maritime pine forests are severely affected by forest fires. The study aimed at modelling: (1) species’ current distribution and productivity; and (2) species’ distribution for projected future climate change scenarios. The land cover, national forest inventory, and environmental data were used. A Bayesian Machine Learning (ML) analysis allowed exploring the most influential environmental variables. ...
Field sampling of cork value before extraction in Portuguese "montados"
Almeida, Alice M.; Tomé, MargaridaThe assessment of cork quality and the estimation of cork value are very important to forest landowners, for management purposes and for cork commercialisation. The Forest Producers Associations have been using a sampling scheme with the objective of estimating cork value (price per unit of weight, usually kg) before extraction, based on the sampling of individual trees along a zigzag transect that covers the e...
