Unveiling short-term variability in post-fire recovery of Mediterranean vegetation with Sentinel-2 time series analysis Open
Forest fires are a frequent disturbance in the Mediterranean Basin, and native vegetation has evolved adaptations to them. However, climate-driven changes in fire regime increase the need to monitor post-fire recovery, especially under lar…

A multi-source approach to mapping habitat diversity: Combination of multi-date multispectral satellite imagery and comparison with single-date hyperspectral results in a Mediterranean Natural Reserve Open
The increasing availability of spaceborne hyperspectral satellite imagery opens new opportunities for forest habitat mapping and monitoring, but the limitation of its generally low temporal resolution must be considered. In this study, we …

Towards rural development and bioeconomy integration into wildfire risk reduction and civil protection strategies Open
Pyrosilviculture and understory fuel management to reduce forest stand and landscape flammability represent loss-making interventions from an economic point of view. Consequently, prevention is carried out above all on public property and …

Is multifunctionality greater in mixed than in pure forests? A metaanalysis of a latitudinal network of European forest triplets Open
The biological simplification of managed ecosystems often leads to reduced functionality and greater vulnerability to biotic and abiotic disturbances. By contrast, some mixed forests have proven to be more productive and resistant than mon…

A method for the ecological use of vegetation in the built environment Open
Urban reforestation is recognised as a valid strategy to counter the loss of functionalities of the ecosystem services in an urban context, where vegetation has the dual role of environmental and landscape qualitative indicator. Ecological…
