Mediterranean Pine Forests: Management Effects on Carbon Stocks

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Managing Forest Ecosystems: The Challenge of Climate Change

Part of the book series: Managing Forest Ecosystems ((MAFE,volume 34))

Abstract

In the Mediterranean area, the role of forest as carbon sinks is particularly significant since usually ecosystem services provided by forests are frequently of greater value than their direct productions. In this chapter, how carbon sequestration changes over time and with different management regimes in Mediterranean pine forests are presented. The information come from a number of sources including: (i) carbon stock estimates under different management plans using a chronosequence trial in Pinus sylvestris forests; (ii) simulations based on the process model 3-PG of the effect of different thinning regimes on Pinus pinaster biomass under a climate change scenario; (iii) a comparison of the effect of different age structures in Pinus pinea forest using the PINEA growth model which includes the biomass allocated in cones and considers the different wood uses; and finally, (iv) a model for estimating coarse woody debris.

The rotation length, thinning intensity, stand composition, as well as age structure influenced carbon stocks and carbon sequestration rates, with different results amongst species. A less intense management regime with the extension of rotation length 20 years increased carbon stocks in Scots pine forests. However, for Mediterranean maritime pine heavy thinning increased carbon sequestration when carbon fixed in removed wood was also considered. This highlights the importance of forest management, because despite unmanaged forests can show a higher amount of carbon on-site, managed stands can fixed more off-site carbon while being in a better condition in relation to climate change effects (droughts, pets or diseases, fires...). Annual carbon fixation during one rotation period in stone pine forests is larger for uneven-aged than even-aged forest structures, although the amount of removed wood of larger dimensions is greater in even-aged structure, resulting in an extension of carbon retention in wood products. Dead wood management (size, amount, density, etc.) is currently one of the most important questions to be resolved for forest management in the context of sustainability and biodiversity conservation. The models presented for coarse woody debris allow quantifying the biomass accumulated in this component, and therefore to furthering our understanding of the carbon cycle in Mediterranean pine forests.
