Abstract: Let $M$ be a closed Riemannian manifold with a family of Riemannian metrics $g_{ij}(t)$ evolving by a geometric flow $partia{l}_t{g}_{ij}=-2S_{ij}$, where $S_{ij}(t)$ is a family of smooth symmetric two-tensors. We derive several differential Harnack estimates for positive solutions to the nonlinear backward heat-type equation �egin{eqnarray*} frac{partial f}{partial t} = -{Delta}f + gamma flog f +aSf end{eqnarray*} where $a$ and $gamma$ are constants and $S=g^{ij}{S}_{ij}$ is the trace of $S_{ij}$. Our abstract formulation provides a unified framework for some known results proved by various authors, and moreover lead to new Harnack inequalities for a variety of geometric flows.
