Resumo(s)
Pine forests exhibit a natural gradual transition to mixed plantations, where hardwoods like sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) and oaks begin to establish as ecological succession progress. However, the persistence of chestnut in conifer stands depends heavily on surrounding chestnut stands and light availability. In this case-study of Serra da Nogueira, Portugal – a region characterized by a mosaic of habitats formed by mountain agriculture, with extensive Pyrenean oak forests interspersed with some stands of other hardwoods and conifers, including scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) - chestnut persists in the natural regeneration of these stands largely due to existing forest and agroforestry chestnut stands. Advanced regeneration in the understory of Scots pine stands suggests that the chestnut can persist in the natural regeneration dynamics, contributing to the formation of more resilient and biodiverse mixed stands.
