In order to determine how management practises can modify the effect of climatic change on Mediterranean Forests we integrated field experiments and the results of the GOTILWA model so as to take into account both water fluxes and forest structure interactions. The results show that the positive effects of atmospheric CO2 fertilisation, causing an increase in WUE, counteract with the negative effects of both temperature increase and rainfall decrease. Thinning might attenuate the effects of adverse conditions by reducing both leaf respiratory costs and the foliage turnover rate.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
