is.evaluation.quotesOur results suggest that Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification management standards had a positive effect on the ecological condition of the riparian vegetation of stream reaches located in cork oak woodlands. These effects, however, were only measurable after 5 years of certification. After this period, the condition of reaches located in certified areas is similar to that of those located in least disturbed, well conserved sites.
is.evaluation.quotesThe better ecological condition of the riparian vegetationexplains the higher scores of Bank condition, Fishhabitat complexity, Aquatic invertebrate habitat and Canopy cover in reaches with 5 years of certification.
is.evaluation.quotesOur results suggest that FSC certification is improving theecological condition of the surveyed streams, possiblythrough passive ecological restoration, which occurs whenecological disturbances are removed or reduced, relyingon natural regenerative processes without additional remedialactions
is.evaluation.quotesForest certification promotes the ecological condition ofstreams occurring within Mediterranean evergreen oak woodlands. This mainly happensbecause in areas under forest certification, managers and landowners have to comply withmanagement practices that require them to remove or reduce the main causes for stream degradation,allowing riparian habitats to recover. Within landscapes with large and increasingareas under forest certification, such as the Mediterranean cork oak woodlands, the positiveeffects of certification on the ecological condition of streams may spread across the hydrographicnetwork in the medium to long term.
