Total area: 40 ha
Main forest formations: Aleppo pinewoods and oak groves.
Number of selected stands: 5,3 privately owned and 2 publicly owned.
Main forest ecosystem services (FES) identified: reduction of carbon emissions in forest fire prevention; increased blue water in the recovery of springs and improved host capacity of biodiversity in all the stands.
Priority objectives and proposed management: improvement of the susceptibility of forest masses to crown fire and water stress, reduction of tree density, felling of pines and selection of oak and holm oak shoots, and selective clearing. Integration of biodiversity in forest management.
Impact of multifunctional management in the FES
Impact on carbon sequestration, blue water supply and capacity to host biodiversity (CHB) in the next 15 years:
