Short communication. Soil development mediated by traditional practices shape the stand structure of Spanish juniper woodland Fuente León, Javier de la Lafuente Jimenez, Edgar Hermosilla Redondo, María Daphne Broto Cartagena, Miguel Victorian Gasco Guerrero, Antonio María Sabinas - España - Castilla y León Sabina albar - España - Soria Pastoreo Bosques y silvicultura - España Suelos Producción Científica Aim of study: Assessing the effect of soil development on the stand structure of a Spanish juniper forest traditionally shaped by livestock browsing and wood extraction. Area of study: Berlanga de Duero (Soria, Castilla y León), Spain. Material and Methods: A stand inventory served to record stand structure. Tree age, height, DBH, basal area, and overbark volume were determined in each plot. Results were pooled considering two well-differentiated degrees of soil evolution. One-way ANOVAs (and Tukey’s test) and regressions between growth parameters were performed to assess significant differences between growth performances on both types of soils. Research highlights: Deeper soils yielded significant higher plant density and stand stock figures than stony shallower profiles despite the intense past livestock activity in the area; and single tree-size was also significantly greater. Non-significant differences were found for merchantable junipers age (≈120-160 years). Wood extraction and livestock browsing should be limited on shallower soils to allow soil and forest evolution; as well as to preserve the genetic pool better adapted to hardest growing conditions. 2022-12-02T08:18:01Z 2022-12-02T08:18:01Z 2014 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Forest systems, Vol. 23, Nº. 1, 2014, págs. 167-170 2171-5068 https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/57620 10.5424/fs/2014231-03674 167 1 170 Forest Systems 23 2171-9845 eng https://revistas.inia.es/index.php/fs/article/view/3674 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ © Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA) Atribución 4.0 Internacional Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA) SI
