Abstract:<p>Mountain forests are complex ecosystems with a delicate equilibrium, providing several important ecosystem services (ES). Natural disturbances are the most important factor influencing mountain forest dynamics, and shaping forest stands.

Nevertheless, to restore or maintain the provisioning of important ES, it is crucial to find the most effective post-disturb… Show more
