Relative sea level trends 6.0 ± 1.5 and 6.44 ± 0.45 mm/year over 1985–2009 at Antalya 2 TG are different from the trend (1.6 ± 1.5 mm/year over 1935–1977) at Antalya TG within 10 km. In order to investigate this trend discrepancy, the monthly mean series at Antalya 2 TG is re-analyzed for offsets, outliers and trend estimation. The Zivot-Andrews method and the Qp outlier test result in one offset at 1994.0417 year with magnitude of 71.24 ± 13.48 mm and nine outliers. The series, corrected for the offset and outliers, de-seasonalized and filled for missed points, is identified as trend-stationary process and analyzed for trend estimation by various models. The optimal model providing the lowest Akaike Information Criteria is polynomial linear trend with multiplicative seasonal Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA(2,0)x(1,0)12). The estimated relative sea level trend by the optimal model is 1.77 ± 0.65 mm/year. The large trend discrepancy at Antalya 2 TG is accounted for by one offset primarily (∼71%) and nine outliers (∼3%).

Fertilization modifies forest stand growth but not stand density: consequences for modelling stand dynamics in a changing climate / Hans Pretzsch in Forestry, an international journal of forest research, vol 95 n° 2 (April 2022)

The upper trajectories of stem number, N, vs mean diameter, dq or mean tree volume vs stem number are often used for quantifying maximum stand density. The long debate about how site conditions modify these relationships is presently revived due to global change. A crucial question is whether environmental conditions alter the trajectories themselves or just the velocity at which stands move along them. Our contribution is based on fully stocked plots from long-term Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) fertilization experiments along an ecological gradient in South Germany. This allows us to compare the self-thinning trajectories of fertilized and unfertilized plots under different environmental conditions. We can show that repeated fertilization with nitrogen did not change the N ~ dq trajectories. Assuming that fertilization affects forests in a similar way as an ongoing atmospheric N-deposition, this means that presently growth, mortality, and volume accumulation in forest stands proceed faster in time but still follow the same N ~ dq allometric trajectories. Furthermore, we found that the level of the self-thinning line generally increases with the annual precipitation. The allometric self-thinning exponent, however, did not respond to environmental conditions. Finally, we quantitatively demonstrate and discuss the implications and consequences of the results regarding understanding and modelling forest stand dynamics, carbon sequestration and the development and adaptation of silvicultural guidelines in view of climate change.

Characterizing vegetation dynamics at landscape to regional scale requires both a high level of spatial detail (resolution), generally obtained through precise field measurements, and a sufficient coverage of the land surface (extent) provided by satellite images. The difficulty usually lies between these two scales as both signal saturation from satellite data and ground sampling limitations contribute to inaccurate extrapolations. Airborne laser scanning (ALS) data has revolutionized the trade-off between spatial detail and landscape coverage as it gives accurate information of the vegetation’s structure over large areas which can be used to calibrate satellite data. Also recent satellite data of improved spectral and spatial resolutions (Sentinel 2) allow for detailed characterizations of compositional gradients in the vegetation, notably in terms of the abundance of broad functional/optical plant types. Another major obstacle comes from the lack of a temporal perspective on dynamics and disturbances. Growing satellite imagery archives over several decades (45 years; Landsat) and available computing facilities such as Google Earth Engine (GEE) provide new possibilities to track long term successional trajectories and detect significant disturbances (i.e. fire) at a fine spatial detail (30m) and relate them to the current structure and composition of the vegetation. With these game changing tools our objective was to track long-term dynamics of forest-savanna ecotone in the Guineo-Congolian transition area of the Central Region of Cameroon with induced changes in the vegetatio structure and composition within two contrasted scenarios of anthropogenic pressures: 1) the Nachtigal area which is targeted for the dam construction and subject to intense agricultural activities and 2) the Mpem et Djim National Park (MDNP) which has no management plan. The maximum likelihood classification of the Spot 6/7 image aided with the information from the canopy height derived from ALS data discriminated the vegetation types within the Nachtigal area with good accuracy (96.5%). Using field plots data in upscaling aboveground biomass (AGB) form field plots estimates to the satellite estimates with model-based approaches lead to a systematic overestimation in AGB density estimates and a root mean squared prediction error (RMSPE) of up to 65 Mg.ha−1 (90%), whereas calibration with ALS data (AGBALS) lead to low bias and a drop of ~30% in RMSPE (down to 43 Mg.ha−1, 58%) with little effect of the satellite sensor used. However, these results also confirm that, whatever the spectral indices used and attention paid to sensor quality and pre-processing, the signal is not sufficient to warrant accurate pixel wise predictions, because of large relative RMSPE, especially above (200–250 Mg.ha−1). The design-based approach, for which average AGB density values were attributed to mapped land cover classes, proved to be a simple and reliable alternative (for landscape to region level estimations), when trained with dense ALS samples. AGB and species diversity measured within 74 field inventory plots (distributed along a savanna to forest successional gradient) were higher for the vegetation located in the MDNP compared to their pairs in the Nachtigal area. The automated unsupervised long-term (45 years) land cover change monitoring from Landsat image archives based on GEE captured a consistent and regular pattern of forest progression into savanna at an average rate of 1% (ca. 6 km².year-1). No fire occurrence was captured for savanna that transited to forest within five years of monitoring. Distinct assemblages of spectral species are apparent in forest vegetation which is consistent with the age of transition. As forest gets older AGBALS recovers at a rate of 4.3 Mg.ha-1.year-1 in young forest stands ( Note de contenu : Chapter 1. Generalities 1.1 Introduction 1.2 Literature Review Chapter 2.

GNSS-Reflectometry (GNSS-R) is an emerging bistatic remote sensing technique that uses the L-band GNSS signals as sources of opportunity to characterize Earth surface. In this passive radar system, the amplitudes of the GNSS signal reflected by soil and the GNSS signal received directly from the GNSS satellites can be used to derive measurements of reflectivity from which the soil moisture content of the surface is determined.The study of soil moisture content using reflectivity measurements can also be applied for the detection of in-land water body surfaces. In this dissertation, we propose in the first step a non-linear estimate of the GNSS signal amplitude. This estimate is based on a statistical model that we develop for the coherent detection of a GNSS signal quantized on 1 bit. We show with experimentations on synthetic and real data that the proposed estimator is more accurate than reference approaches and provide measurements of the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at a higher rate. When the reflected GNSS signal is obtained in an airborne experiment, its evolution as a function of time is piecewise stationary. The different stationary parts are associatedto different kinds of reflecting surfaces. We propose in a second step a change point detector that takes into account the radar signal characteristics in order to segment the signal. We show on synthetic data that the proposed change point detector can detect and localize changes more accurately than reference approaches present in the literature. This work is applied to airborne GNSSR observation of Earth. We propose in the third step, a new GNSS-R sensor with its implementation on a lightweight airborne carrier. We also propose a new front-end receiver architecture, a software radio implementation of thereceiver, and the complete instrumentation of the airborne carrier. A real flight experimentation has taken place in the North of France obtaining reflections from different landforms. We show using the airborne GNSS measurements obtained, that the proposed radar technique detects different surfaces along the flight trajectory, and in particular in-land water bodies, with high temporal and spatial resolution. We also show that we can localize the edges of the detected water body surfaces at meter accuracy. Note de contenu : General Introduction 1.

A common model suitable for predicting bark volume was proposed for all species. A small but significant altitude effect on bark thickness at breast height was detected for three species. Context : The growing demand for wood energy and bio-molecules requires a thorough evaluation of forest biomass, particularly bark. Aims : The objective of this study is to have statistical models of bark volumes for the six main forest species present in North-Eastern France and to be able to estimate regional bark biomasses and quantities of chemical extractives at regional scale. Methods : A large databank gathering bark thickness measured at different heights in France was used for selecting literature or new alternative models of tree bark volume. These models were applied to the available forest inventory data from North-Eastern France to estimate the regional bark volume. Secondly, by multiplying these volumes by basic density data and extractive content recently obtained, bark biomasses and extractives quantities were deduced. Results : The first results consist in a set of species-specific models of bark thickness at breast height with R2 around 0.70 and a relative RMSE around 30% which is an improvement of 0.1 for R2 and of 1–2% for relative RMSE depending on the species compared to the best models from the literature. The second results consist in a set of species-specific models of tree bark volumes with R2 of 0.90 and a relative RMSE which varies between 22% when bark thickness at breast height is included and 40% when it is predicted. A significant relationship between bark thickness at breast height and altitude was also observed. The bark resources of Grand Est and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté regions were estimated at 558 000 m3/year and 611 000 m3/year respectively representing between 5.5% and 15% of the stem volume depending on the species. The propagation of the measurement error of bark gauge was estimated at 5% for model of bark thickness at breast height and 24% for bark volume model. Conclusion : These results constitute an important contribution for a better knowledge of the bark resource at a regional scale and may help to optimise bark valuation by the forest-wood sector.
