Future climate changes will affect among other aspects forest ecosystems, through its impact on tree growth and productivity. The management of fast-growing species can be adapted more easily to climate change, since rotation periods are short. However, the adaption of the management of slow-growing species to climate changes is more challenging be...

... this way, we are able to study the effect of the different initial distributions on the optimization results. The two initial diameter distributions used in the analysis are illustrated in Table 1. Concerning to reproduction, we also used data from Mirabosc to determine the reproduction rate, which is function of the number of trees of each diameter and of the intra-specific competition. ...

... first approach is widely used in forestry economics, but since it is based on recorded data, it is assumed that future climatic and environmental conditions will be similar to past conditions. Therefore it excludes climatic change effects ( Garcia-Gonzalo et al., 2007 ; Hynynen et 318 319 320 321 322 323 324 325 326 327 328 329 330 331 332 al., 2002) and makes it unsuitable to analyze the impact of climate change on the optimal management of forests. In contrast, process-based simulation models can incorporate changes in climate and other factors that may affect the evolution and growth of trees (Mäkëla, 1997). ...

... future research it would be interesting to determine the optimal logging regimes at locations that are more sensitive to climate change, since the negative effects of the decrease in water availability may have a significant impact on the forest management 18 19 511 512 513 514 515 516 and, as a consequence, on the profitability of forests. Likewise, it could be interesting to analyze the effects of climate change for species that do not belong to conifers and therefore are less well adapted to dry conditions, such as Quercus Ilex; and finally but equally important, it would be interesting to incorporate the risks and expected damages of fire into the model, since increase in mortality may increase the probability of fire occurrences. ...
