“…In this study, the regenerative cuttings were always simulated by mimicking the uniform shelterwood method, which is a very common shelterwood reproduction method used in Spanish Scots pine stands [28]. The purpose of this method is to accomplish the regeneration of the site under the shade and protection of the final crop trees, while providing good soil protection [7]. The shelterwood method as applied in this study included three successive cuts during the 20 last years of the rotation:…”

“…One of the topics at the forefront of these discussions is Wiedemann's hypothesis [3] or Langsaeter's curve [11], which states that volume increment does not vary across a wide range of densities. Volume increment decreases beneath the lower limit of this range, but there is currently no agreement about what happens when stand density is very high [49]; if the highest volume increment corresponds to the potential maximum basal area [10] or if there is a loss in volume increment at maximum densities [36].…”

“…When the different cone types are compared, trees in the thinned plots bore the highest number of serotinous cones in both sites. Cone production is influenced by crown development and tree class or canopy position [1,5] and the level of serotiny decreases as tree height increases [16]. The high level of serotiny in short trees could be explained by selection to increase chances of regeneration after burning at a pre-mature age.…”

“…The high production of mature and serotinous cones and viable seeds will promote high values of seedling density and survival during the second postfire year and ensure the future constitution of a very dense forest [4,5]. Furthermore, when seed dispersion occurs after a great fire, the combined effect of heat exposure and ash cover reduces the germination [18,27].…”
