Summary
This Master’s Thesis develops a Forest Management Technical Plan (PTGF) for four privatelyowned plots located in Vegadeo (Asturias, NW Spain), with a total area of 21.7 ha planted with Eucalyptus nitens stands aged three years. The document follows the General Instructions for Forest Management and Planning in Asturias, and integrates forest inventory, ecological characterization, silvicultural planning, and economic analysis. Based on a systematic sampling inventory, stand structure was assessed, volumes were estimated using taper equations, and the main mensuration parameters were calculated. A rotation age analysis was performed, considering both maximum physical yield (biological optimum) and maximum economic value (financial optimum). In both cases, the optimal rotation was found to be around 11or12 years, coinciding with the maximum Mean Annual Increment and the highest Land Expectation Value (LEV). Results show that Eucalyptus nitens stands in Vegadeo display high productivity in short rotations, with a favorable economic performance (LEV above €15,000/ha in both cantons). This study provides a practical technical tool for realworld management while also serving as an academic exercise integrating sustainability, forest planning, and economic assessment.

Summary
This technical-academic document aims to justify the methodological decisions adopted in the configuration of the Project Management Plan for the project “Implementation of a corporate partnership strategy for the Spanish Red Cross in Lugo”, developed within the framework of the Master’s Final Project in Project Management. This project does not correspond to a typical case of engineering or technological development, but rather falls within the field of social and organizational management. Its deliverables are of a strategic, institutional, and operational nature, and include both the definition of a sustainable corporate partnership strategy and the development of internal capacities for its implementation. Given this nature, the PM2 methodology has been proportionally adapted to ensure that the management plan fits the real needs of the organization and the scale of the project. Thus, the document provides the methodological coherence and technical foundation required to validate the relevance and applicability of the plan in a real organizational context.

Summary
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of optimizing the cold chain logistics for exporting Spanish cherries to China, based on the PM2 project management methodology. The study addresses core challenges identified during the first year pilot, including a high spoilage rate of 18 percent and prolonged customs clearance time of 7 days. Through a multi dimensional comparison of three transportation options air freight, conventional maritime cold transport, and the China to Europe Cold Chain Express the China to Europe Cold Chain Express is identified as the optimal solution. It achieves the best balance between cost at 13.7 euros per kilogram, transit time of 14 days, temperature control accuracy within 0.5 degrees Celsius, and customs clearance efficiency within 3 days. A detailed business case demonstrates that this solution can reduce the spoilage rate to below 12 percent, generate an incremental annual net profit of up to 9.18 million euros, and achieve an investment payback period of only 1.3 months, indicating highly robust economic feasibility. The study delivers key outputs including a project charter and a risk response matrix, and formally confirms that the project fully meets all requirements of the PM2 initiation phase and has reached the required readiness to proceed to the planning phase, laying a solid foundation for subsequent implementation.

Summary
This project arises as a response to studies that highlight the growing environmental pollution caused by plastics in the Dominican Republic, particularly in urban and coastal areas of the capital, Santo Domingo. In light of this issue, the Municipal Council of Santo Domingo Norte is leading the initiative to install a plant specialized in plastic recycling, with the purpose of transforming waste into recycled raw material with commercial value, granting it a second use that fosters the circular economy and reduces environmental impact. This document compiles the processes required from the initiation phase through the planning phase, specifying that the scope of this work does not include the execution or commissioning of the plant, as it focuses exclusively on the preliminary design and planning activities. The purpose of this plan is to establish a solid foundation that serves as a guide to ensure that, at a future stage, the project implementation can be carried out in an orderly, efficient, and goal-aligned manner, providing guidelines, criteria, tools, and best practices that guide the initiation and planning processes and lay the groundwork for subsequent advancement toward execution. The project will be developed over a period of six months and will be structured into five main work packages, managed exclusively under the PM2 methodology, which ensures a rigorous approach to key areas such as scope, costs, time, communication, risks, and quality. Through this methodological framework, tools and artifacts are applied that strengthen management, such as a structured communication matrix, formal risk registers, and a clear task breakdown in the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).

Summary
Self-propelled forage harvesters equipped with yield monitors have begun work in Spain in last five years. Yield monitors have been adopted by companies that offer their machinery services to farmers. The main objective is to adopt precision agriculture practices to plant and fertilize the forage corn crop (Zea mays L.). But in order to offer Variable Rate Application services to their customers, service companies must process raw yield data files and obtain reliable prescription maps to control corn planters or fertilizer spreaders during the job. One of the objectives of the applied research work has been to obtain reliable yield maps for each individual campaign and, ultimately, the average data set for the different campaigns, to obtain a unified yield map for each field that mitigates specific annual variations. In this way, we can obtain maps with the variable-rate prescription based on the field possible yield. Finally, the performance verification of the equipment installed on the tractor and the double-disc centrifugal fertilizer spreader to carry out variable-rate application in the georeferenced areas predetermined by the different yield and prescriptions maps obtained. Finally, the performance of the equipment installed on the tractor and the double-disc centrifugal fertilizer spreader is analyzed to carry out the practical variable-rate application in the georeferenced areas predetermined by the different yield maps and prescriptions obtained. The work was carried out using harvest data obtained with yield monitors by the service company Marcos Otero S.L. in the province of A Coruña.

Summary
From an in vitro clonal accession (clone ‘Capela’) of the monumental specimen “Capela do Salvador Cypress” (Cupressus sempervirens L. ‘Fastigiata’), included in the Galician Catalogue of Monumental Trees, maintained in the Micropropagation Laboratory of the EPSE in Lugo, a series of experiments were carried out aimed at optimizing the conditions of preservation of the accession through continuous subculturing, obtaining rooted propagules which can be acclimatized and assessing the viability of the in vitro micrografting technique of micro-scions of the clone ‘Capela’ on juvenile cypress in vitro rootstocks, to obtain micrografted plants that could be acclimatized. As a result of these experiments, an improvement in the multiplication rates of the accession was observed, by adjusting the in vitro culture conditions in terms of the culture medium and the color temperature of the light source. It was not possible to induce rooting of the explants of clone ‘Capela’, despite testing multiple factors, such as the type and concentration of auxins, the auxin induction method, the percentage of sucrose in the medium, the addition of activated charcoal and a period of darkness at the beginning of the rooting process. The in vitro micrografting tests were successful, and micrografted plants were obtained, with rooting rates between 35% and 66.7%, depending on the rootstock used; spontaneous root formation was observed in more than 30% of the succeeded micrografts. The juvenile clones expressed good rooting ability (70% in clone XUV1, after dipping in auxin) and acceptable survival in acclimatization (43.3% at 70 days). This work describes for the first time an in vitro micrografting protocol in Cupressus sempervirens and proposes a viable approach for clonal conservation and regeneration of recalcitrant monumental trees.

Summary
In this study, the influence of various factors on the natural mortality process of individual trees in the mixed temperate pine-oak forests of the Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico was evaluated. For this purpose, data from an extensive network of permanent plots covering the entire study area were used, in which two to three measurements were taken at different time intervals. Parameters commonly used in forest inventories were studied, including tree-related and stand-related parameters; competition indices dependent and independent of the distance between individuals; structural variables related to local distributions of species, heights, and diameters; and the effect of species through grouping into large genus groups. The results seem to confirm the existence of a U-shaped mortality pattern, where smaller individuals are associated with a higher probability of mortality due to competition, while in dominant trees, this probability increases due to senescence or other factors. Competition was identified as an important factor in mortality, its effect being adequately represented using simple indices independent of the distance between individuals, which simplifies the field data collection. Other factors associated with individual tree vigor or site quality also showed a significant effect on mortality. In addition, different patterns were observed between individuals of the genus Pinus and those of the genus Quercus. Finally, different models were developed to estimate survival probability, including these factors and also considering the effect of time elapsed between inventories.

Summary
The spread of Xylella fastidiosa in Europe represents a threat to Galician vineyards, especially due to the proximity of outbreaks detected in northern Portugal. This study aimed to assess the possible presence of the bacterium and its vectors in three wine PDOs in southern Galicia (Rías Baixas, Ribeiro, and Monterrei), as well as to evaluate the ability of certain plant species to act as hosts and analyze the oviposition preference of Cicadella viridis. To this end, surveys were conducted in 21 plots, where vectors and potential vectors were collected using an entomological net, and samples were analyzed by conventional PCR. Additionally, plant inoculation assays and oviposition tests were carried out. No symptoms of Pierce’s disease were observed, nor was X. fastidiosa detected in the captured vectors (121 individuals), with C. viridis (56%) and Philaenus spp. (38%) being the most frequent species. The vegetation associated with vineyards included species that are hosts of the vectors, the bacterium, or both. Furthermore, C. viridis oviposited on grapevine and fed on it as well as on other host species of X. fastidiosa, such as Lavandula angustifolia, suggesting its possible role in transmission. Conversely, Sinapis alba could be considered a promising cover crop, as no feeding or oviposition was detected on it.

Summary
The Everglades National Park, located in southern Florida, is one of the most unique subtropical wetland ecosystems in the world and, at the same time, one of the most pressured by human activities. This study analyzes the main environmental and territorial conflicts affecting the park, through a case study supported by remote sensing and spatial analysis tools. The results show a drastic reduction in agricultural and forest cover between 2000 and 2020, alongside intense urban and tourism expansion. These processes have generated tensions among institutional, economic, and social actors, putting the ecological sustainability of the area at risk. The study highlights the need to strengthen environmental governance and promote development models compatible with conservation.

Summary
This technical study uses a case study to analyse the social perception of Natura 2000 Network proposals in a non-representative part of the municipality of A Fonsagrada. The study also aims to determine the acceptance of proposals for implementing production models in these areas among users. To demonstrate the compatibility of conserving these areas with the economic viability of responsible forest management, an exhaustive compilation of similar projects was carried out. These projects aimed to implement sustainable production models adapted to the study area. To conduct this study, an online survey was developed and distributed to people with varying degrees of connection to the municipality of A Fonsagrada. The survey consists of three sections: the first collects socio-economic variables; the second asks questions about respondents' opinions of the protected natural area; and the third presents the proposed production models and asks questions about respondents' opinions on their implementation in the area. Finally, the data obtained from the surveys is analysed. For the second section of questions, regarding the Natura 2000 Network, the k-prototype algorithm is used to group datasets. A total of 123 responses were obtained, 106 of which were from individuals connected to the council. Of these, 34% were unaware of the protected area. Of those who were aware of it, their perception of its protected status was analysed. The clustering methodology used was entirely valid and met the set objectives, establishing well-defined groups. Those affected by this area were found to have a more negative view, while those unaffected by the Natura 2000 network were found to have a more positive view. Regarding the implementation of production models, the vast majority of respondents were in favour.

Summary
This Master’s Thesis develops the initiation phase of the Reimpulso project for expansion into the Galician market, applying the PM2 methodology. The company, currently established in Uruguay, aims to explore new internationalization opportunities. In this phase, a preliminary study of market entry alternatives was conducted, and a full pilot in A Coruña was recommended, integrating the Digital Out-Of-Home (DOOH) and Digital Transformation business lines. The analysis does not provide a detailed execution plan for the selected alternative, but it establishes the necessary elements to allow deeper development in the full project. The work produces the initiation phase artifacts (Project Request, Business Case, and Project Charter), offering a contextual analysis, a comparative evaluation of options, and a well-founded recommendation regarding the feasibility of expansion. This study highlights the importance of investing in the initial phase of internationalization projects, ensuring informed decisions that are consistent with the company’s values of sustainability, innovation, and social responsibility.

Summary
This study systematizes the academic literature on the impact of leadership, motivation, and communication, as soft skills, on the success of projects developed in multidisciplinary teams and collaborative environments. A systematic review was conducted considering the analysis of 46 studies published between 2018 and 2025; the articles were selected based on predefined inclusion criteria, such as thematic relevance, type of publication, and availability of the full text. The information was organized using a tracking matrix that allowed for the classification of studies by author, year, objective, methodology, findings, and their relationship with the analyzed variables. It is evident that these three soft skills should not be treated as isolated elements, but rather as elements that work synergistically to create work environments where collaboration and teamwork are respected and nurtured, regardless of cultural barriers or the geographical location where they may be located. Transformational and servant leadership, motivation based on autonomy and purpose, and horizontal and empathetic communication emerge as critical factors in fostering cohesion, productivity, and the sustainability of collaborative work. The findings suggest that effective management of diverse teams requires an integrative approach that places human development and technical execution on the same level.

Summary
This project aims to construct a livestock facility for the intensive fattening of 120 calves. The objective is to provide the developer with suitable infrastructure to carry out the activity efficiently and achieve sustainable economic profitability. The facility will be built on a plot of land owned by the developer, located in the municipality of Samos (Lugo). The land has road access and is equipped with water and electricity supplies, meeting the necessary conditions for the establishment of the activity. The barn will be constructed with a concrete structure and will house 12 pens arranged in two rows (six on each side) along a central feeding aisle. Each pen will accommodate 10 calves and will be equipped with a straw bedding system (hot bed) to ensure animal comfort. The bedding will be replaced monthly and removed using a front-loader tractor, then transported to the manure storage area located on the same property. In addition, the barn will include an adjacent annex comprising an office, a storage room, a changing room, and a veterinary area where animals suspected of illness can be isolated. The calves’ diet will be based on a combination of dry forage and commercial feed. The fattening cycle will last approximately three and a half months, following an all-in, all-out system that allows for a sanitary break between cycles. The planned execution time for the construction work is 38 days, and the estimated project budget amounts to 565,808.56 €.

Summary
Proper planning is essential to achieving project objectives within the client's required timeframes, schedules, and quality standards. It is essential to have a comprehensive documented plan that establishes, from the outset, the tools, techniques, and assumptions necessary to ensure project success. Various studies have shown that investing more time in the planning phase leads to cost savings in the execution phase, while also reducing the schedule uncertainties that often arise when planning is rushed. This document compiles all the processes required for the implementation of a photovoltaic installation in a dairy industry. To do so, we chose to follow the methodology presented by the Project Management Institute in its PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge, 6th Edition) guide, thus creating the project management plan. The objective of this plan is to address the project management tasks, providing guidelines, criteria, tools, and other positive aspects to be applied in the processes necessary to achieve an optimal result. The idea for the project arose from the need to reduce operating costs in the industry in question, but it is also applicable to all industries with similar characteristics. In this way, by self-consuming the photovoltaic energy generated, grid consumption is reduced and, consequently, the economic cost of the bill.

Summary
This Master’s Thesis aims to develop a Project Management Plan for the implementation of a multidisciplinary space in Montevideo, Uruguay, integrating a ceramics workshop with a therapeutic approach and a take-away coffee. This initiative arises as a response to the increasing levels of stress, anxiety, and emotional overload experienced by current generations as a result of hyperconnectivity, academic and work-related demands, and the fast-paced rhythm of urban life. The project proposes the creation of a space that provides an escape from this accelerated lifestyle through ceramics workshops. This experience is complemented by a nearby but operationally independent cafeteria, offering high-quality gastronomic products for both workshop participants and external customers, while strictly complying with hygiene and safety standards. The project aims to generate a positive social and cultural impact on the local community, positioning itself as a sustainable business model and a reference in social innovation and the promotion of well-being. This document presents the comprehensive planning of the project, from brand creation to the official opening of the venue, detailing key aspects such as scope, resources, schedule, risk management, and implementation strategy. The methodology is based on the PMBOK Guide (6th Edition) and complemented by PM2 tools, ensuring an orderly, efficient, and coherent execution aligned with the proposed objectives.
