In the current scenario of climate change, forest management faces new challenges, which has led to an increased interest in physiologically based forest growth models. One of the simplest and most versatile models, which has been used with different objectives namely to assess the impact of climate change on forest stands, is the 3-PG (Physiological Principles in Predicting Growth). This physiologically based ...
The whole-plant preferential allocation patterns of recently assimilated carbon by the source leaves of six-year-old cork oaks (Quercus suber L.) were assessed 7 days after a 14CO2 pulse-labelling in late spring (end of May). The 14CO2 assimilation was separately induced on attached leaves on branches located at the top-down 30% of the crown height, in the middle 40% and at the bottom-up 30% of the crown height...
O 3-PG é um modelo de base fisiológica que tem sido extensamente usado e testado para prever a produtividade primária de povoamento florestais em todo o mundo. A fertilidade do solo é considerada por meio de um índice de fertilidade, valor que varia entre 0 e 1. Este parâmetro de fertilidade tem sido inserido pelo utilizador do modelo baseando-se na sua intuição ou experiência. Tentativas para desenvolver um mo...

Forest certification is a voluntary conservation tool that aims to promote sustainable forest management. While research on forest certification has increased recently, there remains a significant gap in understanding how and to what extent certification can promote forest conservation. Mediterranean cork oak open woodlands are ecosystems of high conservation and socio-economic value. However, these ecosystems ...
