“…Greater efficiency in use of resources has been reported in some studies, such as that of Bogino and Bravo (2014) for water in Mediterranean pines in Spain. The impact of climate change on forest growth,and the interaction of climate changes with silvicultural treatments (Olivar et al, 2014), is differentiated in ecosystems across Europe (i.e., Bogino and Bravo, 2008, Bogino et al, 2009, Olivar et al, 2012, Granda et al, 2014, Pretzsch et al, 2014, The combined effects of reducing deforestation and forest degradation while promoting afforestation, forest management, agro-forestry and bio-energy have the potential to increase in the future (IPPC, 2007), contributing to climate change mitigation and sustainable development.…”
