Forest Inventory, Sustainable Management and Global Change

Our research is focused to the analysis of global change and forest management effects on the structure and dynamics of forest ecosystems, as well as to the development of new forest monitoring techniques and provide scientific support to the National Forest Inventory.

Grupo de investigación dependiente del

Centro de Investigación Forestal (CIFOR)

Knowledge of the human activities impacts, and particularly climate change, on forests is necessary to design sustainable Forest management policies and forest biodiversity conservation, as well as for the optimization the ecosystem services. The Group of Inventory, sustainable management and global change develops its activity on the following fields:

Research on the effects of forest management and global change on forest ecosystems growth, structure and dynamics.
Development of new forest monitoring techniques such as ForeStereo, an INIA patent based on computer vision.
Study of changes in disturbance regime, composition and structure of forest ecosystems using new technologies such as remote sensing or RPAs.
Scientific support for the National Forest Inventory and ICP networks (I and II level) in Spain: sampling design, indicators harmonization at national and European level, forest biodiversity and conservation status evaluation.

Investigation

Research on forest management and global change impact on forest ecosystems growth, structure and dynamics

We use information from the Sustainable Forest Management Trials Network, the National Forest Inventory, remote sensing and dendrochronology to study the impact of climate, forest management and land use changes on:

Forest structure and diversity

Natural regeneration

Forest growth and productivity

Effects of silviculture on growth

Forest ecosystems dynamics

Our aim is to integrate the role of management at different scales in the response of forest ecosystems to global change, from the regeneration process, stand development or species dynamics to the specific echophysilogical response. Our research is focused to areas especially sensitive to climate change, such as mountain forests or biogeographic transition zones, where some forest species reach their southernmost limit. In these areas, altitudinal shifts of vegetation belts, changes in composition or decay processes are expected. We are working in productive forests as well as in protected areas, where the natural dynamics are especially relevant.

Development of new forest inventory techniques

We have developed ForeStereo: a forest inventory system based on stereoscopic hemispherical images, as well as new segmentation and photogrametry methods that have been implemented in a software package for the estimation of tree variables (diameter, volume or crown dimensions) and stand density, basal área or vertical structure characterization.

ForeStereo is being used for forest monitoring in National Parks, and measurement accuracy has been tested in National Forest Inventory plots.

Study of changes in composite, structure and dynamics of forest ecosystems using new technologies

We are studying the effect of disturbances (focusing on forest wildfires) on vegetation using RPAs (Remote Pilot Aircraft). We have in INIA a multi-rotor drone shipped with a RGB camera (Zenmuse X4S) and a 5 band (RGB and two NIR bands) multi-spectral sensor (MicaSense RedEdge-M). We are able to generate Vegetation Elevation Models with centimeter resolution using the “Structure from Motion” (SfM) methods.

This information, combined with Sentinel-2 data, is bieng used to analyse the composition, structure and dynamics of grasslands, shrubs and woodlands in wildfires affected areas in Verín (Ourense). In these áreas the wildfires are promoting invasive spacies Acacia dealbata expansión. We are also using RPAs to study de Quercus pyrenaica and Pinus pinaster post-fire dynamics Rodenales de Molina (Guadalajara), where a large wildfire occurred in 2005.

National Forest Inventory scientific support

This research line started at 2007 through the collaboration contract between the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture and Environment and the INIA to provide scientific and technic support for the National Forest Inventory.

We have developed the field sampling protocol for the measurements used in the forest biodiversity of Spanish forest assessment.

Currently we are developing the methodology for the forest inventory of the productive plantations of northern Spain, as well as the estimation of non-timber forest products and the timber quality assessment.

We also analyse the data from the ICP-Forest Forest Monitoring networks, and the regional and National Parks forest monitoring networks for the evaluation of defoliation and mortality in forest stands.

We also participate in the European National Forest Inventories Network (ENFIN) to promote the integrated use of NFIs through the collection of harmonized information about forest ecosystems and landscapes. For this, harmonization processes for indicators such as the volume, biomass or stand age at European level, based on the establishment of reference definitions and conversion functions are required.
