Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenierías Agrarias K1 Pinus sylvestris K1 Pinus pinaster K1 31 Ciencias Agrarias AB Many studies highlight the role of mixed vs monospecific forests to supply ecosystem services.Most reports of positive mixture effects focus on mixtures that combine tree species withcontrasting traits, but little is known on the effect of mixing species that are expected to behavequite similarly as they belong to the same genus. This thesis assessed the effect of mixed vsmonospecific stands of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Aiton.) (I)on the carbon storage and exchangeable cations along the soil profile; (II) on the understoryrichness and life-forms composition and its relationship with the soil status; (III) on the main treespecies regeneration and understory species composition; and (IV) on the overstory productivityat two spatial scales (small-scale and stand-level), its relationship with soil moisture and fertility,and its repercussion on the understory.
