Chrysoperla carnea s.l., a vital predator in olive groves, plays a key role in reducing the reliance on pesticides. Despite its efficacy, habitat diversification at the landscape level can compromise its effectiveness as a generalist natural enemy, diver...

Forest management depends on forest condition data and the ability to quantify the impacts of management activities to make informed decisions. Spatially quantifying water yield (WY) from forests across large landscapes enables managers to consider poten...

Afforestation of former agricultural land poses a real challenge for foresters because soil life is often severely limited by the loss of natural soil fungal diversity. In addition, former agricultural soils have low levels of fungal species typical of f...

Global climate change has affected forest health and productivity. A highly visible, direct climate impact is dieback caused by drought periods in moisture-limited forest ecosystems. Here, we have used a climate moisture index (CMI), which has been devel...

Most electrical transmission lines are located in forests, and currently in South Korea, deregulation has allowed various structures to be built on the ground below transmission lines. Events of fires occurring below high-voltage transmission lines can l...

Several studies have analyzed the changes in individual soil properties and covers and quantified the hydrological response of burned forest soils (with or without post-fire treatment). Less research exists on the influence of these changes on runoff and...

Prescribed fire is commonly used to reduce the wildfire risk in Mediterranean forests, but the soil?s hydrological response after fire is contrasting in literature experiences. The mulch treatment can limit the increases in runoff and erosion in the shor...
