The supply base defined by Bifesa are the regions of Huelva, Cádiz y Seville (Andalucia autonomous community) in the south-west of Spain. This administrative region of Spain is clearly defined on the maps of the State. Supply base is defined as the area of forest fund of this region: • Huelva province: 787.737 ha • Cádiz province: 373.670 ha • Seville province: 422.001 ha Finding The scope of the Supply Base is limited to the official area of forest fund of these provinces (1.583.408 ha ). Bifesa harvests coniferous tree species only. The main species is Umbrella pine (Pinus pinea), Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster), White eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus), Red eucalyptus (Eucalyptus rostrata).

The Symposium was sponsored by the OECD Co-operative Research Programme on Biological Resource Management for Sustainable Agricultural Systems, whose financial support made it possible for some of the invited speakers to participate in the Symposium. WELCOME WELCOME I am honored to welcome you to the beautiful Pacific Northwest for the 17th Symposium for Systems Analysis in Forest Resources. As the conference chair and on behalf of our sponsors, I would like to thank you for choosing our Symposium to be your late summer destination for professional exchange. We are proud to have over 100 participants from 23 countries. Every continent is represented except Antarctica! We are scheduled to have 5 keynote and 89 standard presentations arranged in 4 parallel sessions, plus a field trip to the Olympic Peninsula. Our special purpose with this Symposium is to connect remote sensing scientists with operations researchers where their respective research could complement and inform the other in a meaningful way. Forest and natural resources are under increasing pressure to provide a variety of services, some of which are in conflict. Operations research tools can optimize Sándor Tóth the join production of these services but the models are just as good as the Symposium Chair descriptive and predictive data that parameterize them.

  • 9. Impacts on the Forestry Sector
    IMPACTS OF CLIMATIC CHANGE IN SPAIN 9. IMPACTS ON THE FORESTRY SECTOR Carlos Gracia, Luis Gil and Gregorio Montero Contributing authors J. Ezquerra, E. Pla, S. Sabaté, A. Sánchez, G. Sánchez-Peña, J. Vayreda Reviewers J. Martínez Chamorro, S. Mutke Regneri, M. J. Sanz 385 FORESTRY SECTOR 386 IMPACTS OF CLIMATIC CHANGE IN SPAIN ABSTRACT In Spain, forests take up around 15 million hectares, to which must be added 11.5 million hectares of different types of shrublands and pastures on forest land. This forest area as a whole produces 1,200 million Euros per year (without considering livestock farming production) of which timber represents around 800 million. Society receives other goods and services from the forest, which, at present, are difficult to quantify economically, but are, however, very important. Among these we can highlight protection against erosion, control and regulation of the hydrological cycle, the contribution to conserving biodiversity and the recreational use. Some species of pines or oaks originated millions of years ago and have survived several climatic fluctuations. Adult trees are capable of resisting a certain degree of environmental stress, but the forest is more sensitive during the regeneration phase. Together with climate change, environment retreat increases the sensitivity of the species, as many forests cannot now reoccupy previous territories, due, for example, to problems of erosion resulting from a lack of plant cover. Forest pests and diseases can play a fundamental role in the fragmentation of forest areas. Some perforating or defoliating species can complete up to two biological cycles per year or increase their colonisation area as a consequence of more benign winters.

These covered, respectively, English, French and Spanish language literature. The original documents, which are still frequently requested, are presently out of print. Rather than re-printing the three documents, it was decided to assemble the information under one cover to facilitate access and use. While the format and style in this new Working Paper have been streamlined, the annotations are maintained in the original language. The present Working Paper is complemented by Working Paper 17, in which an attempt was made in October, 1999 to further up-date the information in the subject, targeting a meeting on the environmental effects of species of the genus Eucalyptus, held that year in Mexico City.
