Carmel in Israel, the cycle of MEDPINE conferences has already traveled to Chania in Greece (Arianoutsou and Thanos 2004) and Bari in Italy (Leone and Lovreglio 2007). The fourth edition of the conference was organized in June 2011 by the research group on Ecology of Mediterranean Forests from INRA Avignon, France, and was entitled "Conservation, Ecology, Restoration and Management of Mediterranean Pines and their Ecosystems: Challenges under global change." The main emphasis of the conference was placed on the eu-Mediterranean pine species Pinus halepensis, Pinus brutia, Pinus pinea, Pinus sylvestris, Pinus pinaster, and Pinus canariensis, but contributions relating to other pines of the Mediterranean mountains (Pinus nigra, Pinus mugo, Pinus uncinata, and Pinus heldreichii) or from other regions under the Mediterranean bioclimate were also presented.<p>All together, the Mediterranean pines represent a group of species of key importance not only because of their contribution to planted and natural woodlands in the Mediterranean basin (13 million ha), but also because of their high ecological and economical values (Sheffer 2012).</p><p>The main objective of the conference was to bring together researchers of all disciplines studying Mediterranean pines in order to bring forward available knowledge, identify research gaps, and make recommendations for sustainable management. The climate change context was an added complexity for all the attendees, and a special session was dedicated to this issue</p>
