Abstract
Mediterranean forests may undergo important changes with climate warming. Among the most important forest functions, productivity and carbon storage could dramatically diminish as a consequence of increasing water deficits and recurrent extreme drought events. Management of forest stand structure and age distributions can be efficient practices to maintain principal forest functions under climate change.
