Valencian Community: Adaptation Measures in Pinus pinaster Reforestations

Red Bosques Clima — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 18:15:49 +0000

The Valencian Community has achieved significant advances in the reforested areas of Pinus pinaster. After completing the work in the province of Castellón, they have implemented the standard developed in the project for designing actions in Valencia and Alicante. This phase is crucial to ensure the consistency and effectiveness of adaptation measures in different localities.

In the initial phase, meetings were held with the municipalities where the plots are located, in Valencia and Alicante, to seek their collaboration. The response has been very positive. The necessary technical specifications for contracting the work have already been drafted and their tendering and execution are expected soon.

One of the most notable innovations is the implementation of prescribed burns over an area of about 5 hectares within one of the pilot plots in Alicante, simulating a disturbance similar to a natural fire. The objective is to eliminate the 15 cm thick layer of pine needles and stimulate latent regeneration. The procedure includes inducing a low-intensity fire under the pine canopy once the planned thinning works in the area have been carried out.

Combining silvicultural work and prescribed burns will increase heterogeneity and diversity, reducing vulnerability to drought and major forest fires.

Promotional Video for the RedBosques_Clima Project

The ultimate goal of the RedBosques_Clima project is to enhance the adaptive capacity of forests to climate change by promoting forestry practices that incorporate biodiversity conservation objectives. This is achieved through the promotion of maturity, increased heterogeneity, and diversity, all under the umbrella of ecosystem-based adaptation.

The promotional video of the project outlines its key aspects and details the actions being implemented in the three case studies to enhance the adaptive capacity of forests: Sierra Norte de Guadalajara Nature Park, Els Ports Nature Park in Catalonia, and various forest areas of the Natura 2000 Network in the Valencian Community.

Technical visit to forest stands vulnerable to climate change in Castellón

Red Bosques Clima — Tue, 24 Jan 2023 10:00:12 +0000

We welcomed 2023 with technical visits to the pilot areas of the LIFE RedBosques_Clima project. On 16 January we visited one of the 5 forest stands of Pinus pinaster in Castellón, in the Valencian Community, where demonstrative actions of climate change adaptation will be implemented. The technical visit aimed to ensure that the design criteria are coherent and homogeneous across all pilot areas, and to define the silvicultural actions to be implemented to increase the diversity and heterogeneity of these pine stands, which are highly vulnerable to climate change. The visit, in which all project partners attended, was an opportunity to also involve technicians and local environmental agents in the project.

The meeting was attended by technicians from the F.G. Bernáldez Foundation (FUNGOBE), CREAF Institute, Els Ports Nature Park, Regional Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development, Climate Emergency and Ecological Transition and from the Regional Government of Castilla la Mancha. In addition, technicians from the territorial management of Castellón were present, as well as several environmental agents of the territory, who collaborate closely with the project.

In the coming months, we will visit the pilot areas in the Sierra Norte de Guadalajara Nature Park and in the Els Ports Nature Park.

Red Bosques Clima report on mitigation and adaptation to climate change

Red Bosques Clima — Tue, 29 Nov 2022 09:59:43 +0000

En el marco del proyecto LIFE RedBosques Clima, la Fundación Fernando González Bernáldez y el CREAF publican un nuevo informe sobre mitigación y adaptación al cambio climático. ¿Qué cambios se prevén y qué impactos tendrán en los bosques de España? ¿Cuál es el papel de los bosques en la mitigación? ¿Y cómo puede la gestión forestal disminuir la vulnerabilidad y mejorar la capacidad de adaptación?

Además de contestar a estas preguntas, en el documento se identifican las características de un bosque maduro, y se analizan los atributos que más contribuyen para la adaptación al cambio climático, a través de una alargada revisión científica.
