In this section you will find transference material created during the project, which brings together the main management recommendations for treatments that will guarantee habitat conservation and improvement in Pinus nigra forests. Application of better available techniques (BAT) and Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) make conservation compatible with the rest of the forests’ functions (socioeconomic and recreational).

 

Conservation actions

C1. Conservation and value assignation to lone stands of Pinus nigra

C2. Silvicultural actions to improve the habitat in young dense forests with little vitality, low structural diversity and elevated fire risk

C3. Silvicultural actions to improve the habitat in mature forests without regeneration, with simplified structure and low diversity

C4. Improvement of the structure, maturity and biodiversity of intesively exploited and degraded forests with irregular structures

C5. Recuperation of Pinus nigra stands in areas affected by fire

C6. Strategic silvicultural actions for the prevention of great forest fires in Pinus nigra forests

C7. Conservation of adult Pinus nigra forests adapted to natural fire regime
