It incorporates a modelling study in which the role of green spaces was investigated in terms of heat stress modification by applying MUKLIMO_3 model. During the experiment, the thermal effects of dense trees, scattered trees, grasslands and mixed green infrastructure has been investigated in the case of Szeged (Hungary) and assessed using different climate indices. The investigations encompassed 3 climatological time periods (1981–2010, 2021–2050 and 2071–2100) and two emission scenarios for future climate (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). It was found that urban green spaces (e.g. parks) generally cool the environment, although, the cooling potential of the different green types differs. The highest reduction of heat load was found in the case of large urban parks comprising of dense trees near the downtown. The spatial extension of detected cooling was found small. However, it would increase during the future, especially in the case of grasslands. For urban planners, it is highly recommended to introduce new green sites within a city and to increase the spatial extension of the existing ones to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change in the urban environment.

However, self-thinning relationships are often quantified using only data at a conceptualised self-thinning line, even though self-thinning can begin before the stand actually reaches a self-thinning line. Also, few self-thinning relationships account for the effects of species composition in mixed-species forests, and stand structure such as relative height of species (in mixtures), and/or size or age cohorts in uneven-aged forests. Such considerations may be important given the effects of global climate change and interest in mixed-species and uneven-aged forests. The objective of this study was to develop self-thinning relationships based on changes in the tree density relative to mean tree diameter, instead of focusing only on data for state variables (e.g. tree density) at the self-thinning line. This was done while also considering how the change in tree density is influenced by site quality and stand structure (species composition and relative height). The relationships were modelled using data from temperate Australian Eucalyptus plantations (436 plots), subtropical forests in China (88 plots), and temperate forests in Switzerland (1055 plots). Zero-inflated and hurdle generalized linear models with Poisson and negative binomial distributions were fit for several species, as well as for all-species equations. The intercepts and slopes of the self-thinning lines were higher than many published studies which may have resulted from both the less restrictive equation form and data selection. The rates of self-thinning often decreased as the proportion of the object species increased, as relative height increased (species or size cohort became more dominant), and as site (quality) index increased. The effects of aridity varied between species, with self-thinning increasing with aridity index for Abies alba, Pinus sylvestris, Quercus petraea and Quercus robur, but decreasing with aridity index for Eucalyptus nitens, Fagus sylvatica and Picea abies as sites became wetter and cooler. Self-thinning model parameters were not correlated with species traits, including specific leaf area, wood basic density or crown diameter – stem diameter allometry. All-species self-thinning relationships based on all data could be adjusted using a correction factor for rarer species where there were insufficient data to develop species-specific equations. The approach and equations developed could be used in forest growth models to calculate how the tree density declines as mean tree size increases, as height changes relative to other cohorts or species, as species proportions change, and as climatic and edaphic conditions change.

Time-series snowmelt detection over the Antarctic using Sentinel-1 SAR images on Google Earth Engine / Dong Liang in Remote sensing of environment, Vol 256 (April 2020)  

Public [article]  inRemote sensing of environment > Vol 256 (April 2020) . - n° 112318 Titre : Time-series snowmelt detection over the Antarctic using Sentinel-1 SAR images on Google Earth Engine Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Dong Liang, Auteur ; Huadong Guo, Auteur ; Lu Zhang, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 112318 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] albedo [Termes IGN] Antarctique [Termes IGN] calotte glaciaire [Termes IGN] changement climatique [Termes IGN] coefficient de rétrodiffusion [Termes IGN] distribution spatiale [Termes IGN] fonte des glaces [Termes IGN] Google Earth Engine [Termes IGN] image radar moirée [Termes IGN] image Sentinel-SAR [Termes IGN] montée du niveau de la mer [Termes IGN] série temporelle Résumé : (auteur) The Antarctic ice sheet is an important mass of glacier ice. It is particularly sensitive to climate change, and the flow of Antarctica's inland glaciers into the sea, accelerated by collapsing ice shelves, threatens global sea level rise. The amount of snowmelt on the surface of the ice sheet is an important metric for accurately assessing surface material loss and albedo change, which affect the stability of the ice sheet. This study proposes a framework for quickly extracting time-series freeze-thaw information at the continental scale and 40 m resolution by taking advantage of the huge amount of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data acquired by Sentinel-1 satellites over the Antarctic, available for rapid processing on Google Earth Engine. Co-orbit normalization is used in the proposed framework to establish a unified standard of judgement by reducing the variations in the backscattering coefficient introduced by observation geometry, terrain fluctuations, and melt conditions between images acquired at different times. We implemented the framework to produce a massive dataset of both monthly freeze-thaw information over the Antarctic and higher temporal resolution freeze-thaw information for the Larsen C ice shelf from 2015 to 2019, with overall accuracies of 93% verified by a manual visual interpretation method and 84% evaluated from automatic weather station temperatures. Due to its effectiveness and robustness, the framework can be used to analyse the spatiotemporal distribution of snowmelt, the change in melt area, and anomalous melt events in Antarctica, especially those in Larsen C caused by foehn wind.

Application of fuzzy analytical hierarchy process for assessment of desertification sensitive areas in North West of Morocco / Hicham Ait Kacem in Geocarto international, vol 36 n° 5 ([15/03/2021])  

Public [article]  inGeocarto international > vol 36 n° 5 [15/03/2021] . - pp 563 - 580 Titre : Application of fuzzy analytical hierarchy process for assessment of desertification sensitive areas in North West of Morocco Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Hicham Ait Kacem, Auteur ; Saïd Fal, Auteur ; Mounir Karim, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 563 - 580 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications SIG [Termes IGN] analyse de sensibilité [Termes IGN] analyse multicritère [Termes IGN] carte de la végétation [Termes IGN] climat méditerranéen [Termes IGN] désertification [Termes IGN] Inférence floue [Termes IGN] Maroc [Termes IGN] processus de hiérarchisation analytique floue [Termes IGN] zone semi-aride Résumé : (auteur) An updated assessment of land sensitivity to desertification is essential for comprehensive planning and preparation of action plans. In this study, modified Mediterranean desertification and land use (MEDALUS) method by employing a fuzzy inference system in a GIS environment was used to identify environmentally sensitive areas (ESA) to desertification in the Drader basin in Morocco. Anthropogenic and Biophysical parameters (17 parameters) have been integrated and processed by geographic information systems obtaining climate, water, soil, vegetation and land management quality indexes. The weights for indicators and parameters involved in land desertification were calculated by using analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Then, a fuzzy inference system was employed to create a map for each indexes and ESA map for the study area. The results showed that, fragile and critical areas represent 58% and 2% respectively, while about 21% of the area belongs to the potential areas. The critical areas are primarily characterized by low degree of plant cover, low erosion resistance and low management quality. However, the results revealed that Integrating MCDM-GIS and fuzzy logic in MEDALUS has improved the ability to classify the sensitive areas to desertification at regional scale. The ESA maps have potential as decision tools to prepare and respond to ESAs and causes of land degradation, as such contributing to national climate action and disaster risk reduction sustainable development goals (goals 13 and 15, respectively).

Are pine-oak mixed stands in Mediterranean mountains more resilient to drought than their monospecific counterparts? / Francisco J. Muñoz-Gálvez in Forest ecology and management, vol 484 ([15/03/2021])  

Public [article]  inForest ecology and management > vol 484 [15/03/2021] . - n° 118955 Titre : Are pine-oak mixed stands in Mediterranean mountains more resilient to drought than their monospecific counterparts? Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Francisco J. Muñoz-Gálvez, Auteur ; Asier Herrero, Auteur ; Maria Esther Pérez-Corona, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 118955 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] analyse comparative [Termes IGN] changement climatique [Termes IGN] croissance des arbres [Termes IGN] Espagne [Termes IGN] forêt méditerranéenne [Termes IGN] gestion forestière [Termes IGN] module linéaire [Termes IGN] peuplement mélangé [Termes IGN] Pinus sylvestris [Termes IGN] Quercus pyrenaica [Termes IGN] sécheresse [Termes IGN] service écosystémique [Termes IGN] vulnérabilité [Vedettes matières IGN] Végétation et changement climatique Résumé : (auteur) Climate change projections point to an increase in the intensity and frequency of extreme drought events with important negative impacts on forest functioning. Predicting these impacts constitutes a crucial challenge for forest managers and for the maintenance of ecosystem services supply. Promoting mixed stands seems a promising strategy for adapting forest ecosystems to ongoing climate change. However, some uncertainty exists regarding whether admixture can improve growth resilience to extreme drought events. Here, we aim to assess tree growth response to drought in mixed and monospecific stands of Pinus sylvestris L. and Quercus pyrenaica Willd. in central Spain. We built tree-ring chronologies and evaluated tree growth sensitivity to water availability and growth resilience components to extreme droughts using linear mixed models. We found contrasting species- and climate-specific responses to admixture. Q. pyrenaica growth was significantly higher in mixed than in monospecific stands, especially in years without water limitations, while P. sylvestris showed higher growth in mixed stands under dry conditions. However, our results showed a species-specific trade-off between resistance and recovery. While P. sylvestris showed higher resistance but lower recovery to drought events in mixed than monospecific stands, Q. pyrenaica showed higher recovery but lower resistance. This trade-off might explain the absence of admixture effects on species resilience. Our results highlight the importance of considering species-specific responses to water availability and associated trade-offs when evaluating admixture effects on drought vulnerability. Overall, we show a positive effect of admixture on the long-term growth stability in response to average climate conditions, but no effects in short-term resilience capacity to increasingly common extreme dry conditions. Consequently, admixture can promote forest productivity stability but should be carefully considered as a management solution for promoting the resilience of Mediterranean mountain forests to increasing aridity.
