Forest management and climate change
We can not
move through time, looking at future scenarios, but we can travel in space.
Climate is changing, bringing severe repercussions on ecosystems and
environments. In the case of forests, causes and consequences are tied with
double strings: climate changes could affect forestry equilibrium and forestry impairment
could enhance climate change, since they play an important role in carbon
fixation.
In order to paint future scenes, scientists could assess forests' condition by taking
some common trees (Pinus, Quercus and Eucalypt) as models and moving through
