Cover Story: Maritime pine forests in the Mediterranean face sustainability challenges from recurrent fires and delayed management. This study, conducted in North Portugal, assesses four management scenarios for natural regeneration. Stand ages range from 6 to 16 years with densities from 15,000 to circa 93,000 trees per ha. Using Modispinaster and PiroPinus models, scenarios range from no intervention to intensive methods. Scenario C4, involving early opening strips, selective tree retention, and timely thinning, proves to be more effective, increasing the production of larger diameter timber without compromising fire resistance. Sustainable management hinges on early intervention and careful silvicultural planning. View this paper
