AB An increase of droughts intensity and frequency episodes combined with newextreme climate events are predicted to appear in the Mediterranean Basin due toglobal warming. In this context, mixed forests have become a sustainable opportunityto mitigate the effects of climate change. Species mixing may lead to the provisionof a greater variety of ecosystem services and products while increasing temporalstability compared to pure forests. The development of new models that explaindifferent tree and stand level variables may be vital to better understand the structure,composition and dynamics of this type of forests. In addition, it is essential to analyzehow climate may influence these variables in order to design adaptive and sustainablemanagement guidelines for mixed forests under future climate change scenarios.In this study, we sought to advance in the modelization and simulation of differenttree and stand level variables along a range of different forest and aridity conditionsin Spain. To achieve that, climate-dependent models were fitted using data from theSpanish National Forest Inventory and the WorldClim databases. We focused ourstudy on fifteen Mediterranean tree species from the Pinus, Quercus, and Fagusgenus.
