The LIFE MixForChange and LIFE Suber projects are the projects that Beltrán works with and the ones presented at this conference. Both projects have among their objectives the promotion of an adaptive silviculture to climate change.
The LIFE Suber project has been working since 2014 to implement innovative forestry management techniques in cork oaks. This way, it seeks to promote its adaptation to climate change and thus promote its conservation and maintenance of the associated value chain.
For its part, the MixForChange project also looks for this adaptation, but in Mediterranean sub-humid mixed forests in Europe. Also, to promote its conservation without forgetting the maintenance of its productive, environmental and social functions.
