FORESTS ARE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MEMBERS OF THE TERRESTRIAL CARBON CYCLE, WHOSE PRODUCTIVITY, COMPOSITION AND DISTRIBUTION IS MODIFIED IN RESPONSE TO GLOBAL CHANGE. GLOBAL CHANGE HAS LED TO A DECLINE AND AN INCREASE IN THE MORTALITY RATE IN DIFFERENT FORESTS AROUND THE WORLD, INCLUDING MEDITERRANEAN FORESTS. HOWEVER, THE RESPONSE OF DIFFERENT SPECIES TO GLOBAL CHANGE CAN BE COMPLEX AND VARIABLE DEPENDING ON DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. IN THIS SENSE IT IS NECESSARY TO INCREASE KNOWLEDGE TO CORRECTLY CHARACTERISE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABILITY AND FOREST SUSTAINABILITY. TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE BEHAVIOR OF FORESTS IN A CHANGING WORLD IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW DIFFERENT FACTORS LIMIT THE PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESSES THAT DETERMINE THE ACCLIMATISATION CAPACITY OF FORESTS TO CLIMATE CHANGE. TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL, IT IS NECESSARY TO COMPLEMENT MULTI-DISCIPLINARY, MULTIPROXY AND MULTISCALE DATA WITH PROCESS-BASED MODELS THAT CAN CORRECTLY CHARACTERISE THE DIFFERENT FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOREST ECOSYSTEMS AND THEIR RESPONSE TO ENVIRONMENTAL VARIETY, INCLUDING CLIMATE. TO DO THIS, WE WILL ANALYSE THE BEHAVIOR OF FORESTS USING A PROCESS MODEL (MAIDEN) IMPLEMENTED ALONG ENVIRONMENTAL GRADIENTS, COMPARING DIFFERENT FUNCTIONAL CO-EXISTING SPECIES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN REGION, IN WHICH THERE IS AN INCREASE IN THE GLOBAL HYDROTRIC STRESS. TO DEVELOP THE MODEL WE WILL USE DIFFERENT DATA ON DIFFERENT SPATIAL-TEMPORAL SCALES AND THUS BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS THAT ARISE IN THE PROJECT REGARDING ADAPTABILITY AND VULNERABILITY TO THE GLOBAL CHANGE OF MEDITERRANEAN FORESTS. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT WILL THEREFORE BE SUPPORTED BY EMPIRICAL DATA AT DIFFERENT SCALES, INCLUDING THE MONITORING OF A DRY EXPERIMENT IN AN OAK-PINE FOREST IN THE ECOTONE WHERE THE MORTALITY RATE OF THE PINE HAS RECENTLY INCREASED. IN ADDITION, THE DATA INCLUDES A NETWORK OF DENDROECOLOGICAS SERIES WITH ANNUAL RESOLUTION, GROWTH SERIES WITH INTRA-ANNUAL RESOLUTION, CARBON FLOW AND PERSPIRATION DATA FROM EDDY COVARIANCE STATIONS, PLOT DATA TO BE REPLANTED IN CLIMATIC GRADIENTS, A NETWORK OF PERMANENT PLOTS, DATA FROM THE NATIONAL FOREST INVENTORY AND THE NETWORK OF FOREST DAMAGE MONITORING PLOTS (ICP). IT WILL BE SPECIFICALLY ANALYSED HOW DIFFERENT DOMINANT SPECIES WITH DIFFERENT TOLERANCE TO DROUGHT HAVE RESPONDED TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES IN THE RECENT PAST IN ORDER TO SIMULATE HOW THEY WOULD RESPOND TO A CHANGING WORLD IN THE FUTURE. WE WILL ANALYSE WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION WHETHER FORESTS SHOW SYMPTOMS OF VULNERABILITY TO CLIMATIC CHANGE AND HOW DIFFERENT BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC FACTORS (SUCH AS CO2) INTERACT WITH CLIMATE TO DETERMINE PRODUCTIVITY INSTABILITY IN RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND MANAGEMENT. IN ADDITION, THE FACTORS THAT PRODUCE MORTALITY IN OAK-PINE MASSES ARE ANALIZARIAN, IN ORDER TO CHARACTERISE THE SYMPTOMS THAT SEPARATE NATURAL SUSTAINABLE MORTALITY WITH MORTALITY INDUCED BY CLIMATIC CHANGE, THREATENING FOREST SUSTAINABILITY. FINALLY, IN THE LAST OBJECTIVE, SIMULATIONS USING THE MAIDEN STAND MDOELO WITH OTHERS MADE WITH A DYNAMIC MODEL OF VEGETATION (LPJ-GUESS), DISCUSSING POSSIBLE PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS IN MANAGING THIS TYPE OF COMPLEX MODELS, ARE COMPARARIAN.

LOS BOSQUES SON UNO DE LOS INTEGRANTES MAS IMPORTANTES DEL CICLO DE CARBONO TERRESTRE, CUYA PRODUCTIVIDAD, COMPOSICION Y DISTRIBUCION SE VE MODIFICADA EN RESPUESTA AL CAMBIO GLOBAL. EL CAMBIO GLOBAL HA PRODUCIDO UN DECLIVE Y UN AUMENTO EN LA TASA DE MORTALIDAD EN DISTINTOS BOSQUES EN EL MUNDO, INCLUYENDO LOS MEDITERRANEOS. SIN EMBARGO, LA RESPUESTA DE DIFERENTES ESPECIES AL CAMBIO GLOBAL PUEDE SER COMPLEJA Y VARIABLE DEPENDIENDO DE DIFERENTES FACTORES AMBIENTALES. EN ESTE SENTIDO ES NECESARIO AUMENTAR EL CONOCIMIENTO PARA CARACTERIZAR CORRECTAMENTE LA RELACION ENTRE VARIABILIDAD AMBIENTAL Y SOSTENIBILIDAD FORESTAL. PARA ENTENDER MEJOR EL COMPORTAMIENTO DE LOS BOSQUES EN UN MUNDO CAMBIANTE ES IMPORTANTE ENTENDER COMO DIFERENTES FACTORES LIMITAN LOS PROCESOS FISIOLOGICOS QUE DETERMINAN LA CAPACIDAD DE ACLIMATACION DE LOS BOSQUES AL CAMBIO CLIMATICO. PARA ALCANZAR ESTE OBJETIVO ES NECESARIO COMPLEMENTAR DATOS MULTIDISCIPLINARES, MULTIPROXY Y MULTIESCALA CON MODELOS BASADOS EN PROCESOS QUE PUEDAN CARACTERIZAR CORRECTAMENTE LOS DIFERENTES FACTORES QUE AFECTAN AL DESARROLLO DE LOS ECOSISTEMAS FORESTALES Y SU RESPUESTA A LA VARIEDAD AMBIENTAL, INCLUYENDO EL CLIMA. PARA ELLO SE ANALIZARA EL COMPORTAMIENTO DE LOS BOSQUES USANDO UN MODELO DE PROCESO (MAIDEN) IMPLEMENTADO A LO LARGO DE GRADIENTES AMBIENTALES, COMPARANDO DIFERENTES ESPECIES FUNCIONALES CO-EXISTENTES EN LA REGION MEDITERRANEA, EN LA CUAL EXISTE UN AUMENTO EN EL ESTRES HIDRICO GLOBAL. PARA DESARROLLAR EL MODELO USAREMOS DISTINTOS DATOS A DIFERENTES ESCALAS ESPACIO-TEMPORALES Y ASI PODER RESPONDER A LAS DIFERENTES HIPOTESIS QUE SE PLANTEAN EN EL PROYECTO RELATIVAS A LA ADAPTABILIDAD Y VULNERABILIDAD FRENTE AL CAMBIO GLOBAL DE BOSQUES MEDITERRANEOS. LA IMPLEMENTACION DEL PROYECTO ESTARA POR TANTO SOSTENIDA POR DATOS EMPIRICOS A DIFERENTES ESCALAS, INCLUYENDO LA MONITORIZACION DE UN EXPERIMENTO DE SEQUIA EN UN BOSQUE DE ROBLE-PINO EN EL ECOTONO DONDE LA TASA DE MORTALIDAD DEL PINO HA AUMENTADO RECIENTEMENTE. ADEMAS LOS DATOS INCLUYEN UNA RED DE SERIES DENDROECOLOGICAS CON RESOLUCION ANUAL, SERIES DE CRECIMIENTO CON RESOLUCION INTRA-ANUAL, DATOS DE FLUJOS DE CARBONO Y TRANSPIRACION PROVENIENTES DE ESTACIONES DE EDDY COVARIANZA, DATOS DE PARCELA A REPLANTEAR EN GRADIENTES CLIMATICOS, UNA RED DE PARCELAS PERMANENTES, DATOS DEL INVENTARIO FORESTAL NACIONAL Y DE LA RED DE PARCELAS DE SEGUIMIENTO DE DAÑOS EN LOS BOSQUES (ICP). SE ANALIZARA ESPECIFICAMENTE COMO DIFFERENTES ESPECIES DOMINANTES CON DIFERENTE TOLERANCIA A LA SEQUIA HAN RESPONDIDO A LOS CAMBIOS AMBIENTALES OCURRIDOS EN EL PASADO RECIENTE PARA PODER SIMULAR COMO RESPONDERIAN A UN MUNDO CAMBIANTE EN EL FUTURO. SE ANALIZARA CON PARTICULAR ATENCION SI LOS BOSQUES MUESTRAN SINTOMAS DE VULNERABILIDAD AL CAMBIO CLIMATICO Y COMO DIFERENTES FACTORES BIOTICOS Y ABIOTICOS (COMO EL CO2) INTERACCIONAN CON EL CLIMA PARA DETERMINAR LA INESTABILIDAD EN LA PRODUCTIVIDAD EN RESPUESTA A LOS CAMBIOS CLIMATICOS Y A LA GESTION. ADEMAS SE ANALIZARIAN LOS FACTORES QUE PRODUCEN MORTALIDAD EN MASAS DE ROBLE-PINO, PARA PODER CARACTERIZAR LOS SINTOMAS QUE SEPARAN LA MORTALIDAD NATURAL SOSTENIBLE CON LA MORTALIDAD INDUCIDA POR EL CAMBIO CLIMATICO AMENAZANDO LA SOSTENIBILIDAD FORESTAL. FINALMENTE, EN EL ULTIMO OBJETIVO SE COMPARARIAN SIMULACIONES USANDO EL MDOELO DE RODAL MAIDEN CON OTRAS REALIZADAS CON UN MODELO DINAMICO DE VEGETACION (LPJ-GUESS), DISCUTIENDO POSIBLES APLICACIONES PRACTICAS EN GESTION DE ESTE TIPO DE MODELOS COMPLEJOS.

FORESTS ARE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MEMBERS OF THE TERRESTRIAL CARBON CYCLE, WHOSE PRODUCTIVITY, COMPOSITION AND DISTRIBUTION IS MODIFIED IN RESPONSE TO GLOBAL CHANGE. GLOBAL CHANGE HAS LED TO A DECLINE AND AN INCREASE IN THE MORTALITY RATE IN DIFFERENT FORESTS AROUND THE WORLD, INCLUDING MEDITERRANEAN FORESTS. HOWEVER, THE RESPONSE OF DIFFERENT SPECIES TO GLOBAL CHANGE CAN BE COMPLEX AND VARIABLE DEPENDING ON DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. IN THIS SENSE IT IS NECESSARY TO INCREASE KNOWLEDGE TO CORRECTLY CHARACTERISE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABILITY AND FOREST SUSTAINABILITY. TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE BEHAVIOR OF FORESTS IN A CHANGING WORLD IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW DIFFERENT FACTORS LIMIT THE PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESSES THAT DETERMINE THE ACCLIMATISATION CAPACITY OF FORESTS TO CLIMATE CHANGE. TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL, IT IS NECESSARY TO COMPLEMENT MULTI-DISCIPLINARY, MULTIPROXY AND MULTISCALE DATA WITH PROCESS-BASED MODELS THAT CAN CORRECTLY CHARACTERISE THE DIFFERENT FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOREST ECOSYSTEMS AND THEIR RESPONSE TO ENVIRONMENTAL VARIETY, INCLUDING CLIMATE. TO DO THIS, WE WILL ANALYSE THE BEHAVIOR OF FORESTS USING A PROCESS MODEL (MAIDEN) IMPLEMENTED ALONG ENVIRONMENTAL GRADIENTS, COMPARING DIFFERENT FUNCTIONAL CO-EXISTING SPECIES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN REGION, IN WHICH THERE IS AN INCREASE IN THE GLOBAL HYDROTRIC STRESS. TO DEVELOP THE MODEL WE WILL USE DIFFERENT DATA ON DIFFERENT SPATIAL-TEMPORAL SCALES AND THUS BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS THAT ARISE IN THE PROJECT REGARDING ADAPTABILITY AND VULNERABILITY TO THE GLOBAL CHANGE OF MEDITERRANEAN FORESTS. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT WILL THEREFORE BE SUPPORTED BY EMPIRICAL DATA AT DIFFERENT SCALES, INCLUDING THE MONITORING OF A DRY EXPERIMENT IN AN OAK-PINE FOREST IN THE ECOTONE WHERE THE MORTALITY RATE OF THE PINE HAS RECENTLY INCREASED. IN ADDITION, THE DATA INCLUDES A NETWORK OF DENDROECOLOGICAS SERIES WITH ANNUAL RESOLUTION, GROWTH SERIES WITH INTRA-ANNUAL RESOLUTION, CARBON FLOW AND PERSPIRATION DATA FROM EDDY COVARIANCE STATIONS, PLOT DATA TO BE REPLANTED IN CLIMATIC GRADIENTS, A NETWORK OF PERMANENT PLOTS, DATA FROM THE NATIONAL FOREST INVENTORY AND THE NETWORK OF FOREST DAMAGE MONITORING PLOTS (ICP). IT WILL BE SPECIFICALLY ANALYSED HOW DIFFERENT DOMINANT SPECIES WITH DIFFERENT TOLERANCE TO DROUGHT HAVE RESPONDED TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES IN THE RECENT PAST IN ORDER TO SIMULATE HOW THEY WOULD RESPOND TO A CHANGING WORLD IN THE FUTURE. WE WILL ANALYSE WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION WHETHER FORESTS SHOW SYMPTOMS OF VULNERABILITY TO CLIMATIC CHANGE AND HOW DIFFERENT BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC FACTORS (SUCH AS CO2) INTERACT WITH CLIMATE TO DETERMINE PRODUCTIVITY INSTABILITY IN RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND MANAGEMENT. IN ADDITION, THE FACTORS THAT PRODUCE MORTALITY IN OAK-PINE MASSES ARE ANALIZARIAN, IN ORDER TO CHARACTERISE THE SYMPTOMS THAT SEPARATE NATURAL SUSTAINABLE MORTALITY WITH MORTALITY INDUCED BY CLIMATIC CHANGE, THREATENING FOREST SUSTAINABILITY. FINALLY, IN THE LAST OBJECTIVE, SIMULATIONS USING THE MAIDEN STAND MDOELO WITH OTHERS MADE WITH A DYNAMIC MODEL OF VEGETATION (LPJ-GUESS), DISCUSSING POSSIBLE PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS IN MANAGING THIS TYPE OF COMPLEX MODELS, ARE COMPARARIAN.
