DESCRIPTION:Mediterranean pine reforestations are increasing its vulnerabil
 ity to climate change\, particularly to recurrent drought events -as raisi
 ng tree decline and mortality rates have been identified-. In Spain\, deca
 des of limited forest management have contributed to mature dense stands c
 haracterized by high water stress and reduced ecosystem resilience. In thi
 s context\, adaptive silviculture emerges as a key strategy to enhance for
 est stability under changing environmental conditions.\nThis study evaluat
 es the effects of thinning treatments on the eco-resilience of mature pine
  plantations across Spain by integrating field data and multi-source remot
 e sensing observations. First\, spectral information derived from vegetati
 on indices (e.g.\, NDVI\, EVI or NBR) and shortwave infrared bands (SWIR1)
  are analyzed for detecting forest cover reduction promoted by thinning. S
 econd\, these observations and the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspi
 ration Index (SPEI) are used for assessing how adaptive silviculture modul
 ates forest responses to drought events. Third\, dendrochronological data 
 are incorporated to compare radial growth patterns with spectral dynamics\
 , enabling cross-validation between traditional growth-based approaches an
 d remote sensing indicators to evaluate forest resilience. Results show th
 at forest management induces measurable changes in the spectral behavior\,
  and that treated stands exhibit faster recovery dynamics following extrem
 e droughts compared to unmanaged stands.\nBeyond these findings\, the curr
 ent study aims to frame ongoing research towards a more integrative assess
 ment of forest resilience\, combining spectral indicators with structural 
 and ecohydrological perspectives. This approach seeks to advance the devel
 opment of scalable indicators of eco-resilience\, supporting forest manage
 ment strategies under future climate scenarios.
