• Compatible Taper and Volume Systems Based on Volume Ratio Models for Four Pine Species in Oaxaca Mexico 

  Castillo López, Albert; Quiñonez Barraza, Gerónimo; Diéguez Aranda, Ulises; Corral Rivas, José Javier (MDPI, 2021)

  Estimating tree volume components is an essential element in sustainable forest management. Compatible taper and merchantable outside-bark volume systems based on volume ratio models were globally fitted to four pine species ...

• FORTLS: An R Package for Processing TLS Data and Estimating Stand Variables in Forest Inventories 

  Molina Valero, Juan Alberto; Ginzo Villamayor, María José; Novo Pérez, Manuel Antonio; Álvarez González, Juan Gabriel; Montes, Fernando; Martínez Calvo, Adela; Pérez Cruzado, César (MDPI, 2021)

  Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) enables rapid, automatic, and detailed 3D representation of surfaces with an easily handled scanner device. TLS, therefore, shows great potential for use in Forest Inventories (FIs). However, ...

• Carbon balance for different management practices for fast growing tree species planted on former pastureland in southern Europe: a case study using the CO2Fix model 

  Pérez Cruzado, César; Mohren, Godefridus M. J.; Merino García, Agustín; Rodríguez Soalleiro, Roque (Springer, 2012)

  Although it is known that forestry mitigates carbon emissions to some degree, there is still a need to investigate the extent to which changes in forest management regimes affect the carbon cycle. In a climate-change ...

• Poplar Short Rotation Coppice Plantations under Mediterranean Conditions: The Case of Spain 

  Oliveira Rodríguez, Nerea de; Pérez Cruzado, César; Cañellas, Isabel; Rodríguez Soalleiro, Roque; Sixto, Hortensia (MDPI, 2020)

  Developing a circular bioeconomy based on the sustainable use of biological resources, such as biomass, seems to be the best way of responding to the challenges associated with global change. Among the many sources, short ...

• Nutrient Contribution of Litterfall in a Short Rotation Plantation of Pure or Mixed Plots of Populus alba L. and Robinia pseudoacacia L. 

  González, Isabel; Sixto, Hortensia; Rodríguez Soalleiro, Roque; Oliveira, Nerea (MDPI, 2020)

  This study aims to quantify the potential contribution of nutrients derived from leaf litter in a short rotation coppice plantation which includes monocultures of the species Populus alba (PA) and Robina pseudoacacia (RP) ...
