Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science > Vol 76 n° 4 (December 2019) Titre : Impact of deadwood decomposition on soil organic carbon sequestration in Estonian and Polish forests Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ewa Blonska, Auteur ; Jaroslaw Lasota, Auteur ; Arvo Tullus, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] bois mort [Termes IGN] déchet organique [Termes IGN] Estonie [Termes IGN] forêt boréale [Termes IGN] forêt tempérée [Termes IGN] Pologne [Termes IGN] teneur en carbone [Vedettes matières IGN] Ecologie forestière Résumé : (auteur) Key message : The deadwood of different tree species with different decomposition rates affects soil organic carbon sequestration in Estonian and Polish forests. In warmer conditions (Poland), the deadwood decomposition process had a higher rate than in cooler Estonian forests. Soil organic matter fractions analysis can be used to assess the stability and turnover of organic carbon between deadwood and soil in different experimental localities. Context : Deadwood is an important element of properly functioning forest ecosystem and plays a very important role in the maintenance of biodiversity, soil fertility, and carbon sequestration. Aims : The main aim was to estimate how decomposition of deadwood of different tree species with different decomposition rates affects soil organic carbon sequestration in Estonian and Polish forests. Methods : The investigation was carried out in six forests in Poland (51° N) and Estonia (58° N). The study localities differ in their mean annual air temperature (of 2 °C) and the length of the growing season (of 1 month). The deadwood logs of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.), common aspen (Populus tremula L.), and silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) were included in the research. Logs in three stages of decomposition (III–V) were selected for the analysis. Results : There were differences in the stock of soil organic carbon in two experimental localities. There was a higher soil carbon content under logs and in their direct vicinity in Polish forests compared to those in the cooler climate of Estonia. Considerable differences in the amount of soil organic matter were found. The light fraction constituted the greatest quantitative component of organic matter of soils associated with deadwood. Conclusion : A higher carbon content in surface soil horizons as an effect of deadwood decomposition was determined for the Polish (temperate) forests. More decomposed deadwood affected soil organic matter stabilization more strongly than less decayed deadwood. This relationship was clearer in Polish forests. Higher temperatures and longer growing periods primarily influenced the increase of soil organic matter free light fraction concentrations directly under and in close proximity to logs of the studied species. The slower release of deadwood decomposition products was noted in Estonian (hemiboreal) forests. The soil organic matter mineral fraction increased under aspen and spruce logs at advanced decomposition in Poland.

Phosphorus availability in relation to soil properties and forest productivity in Pinus sylvestris L. plantations / Teresa Bueis in Annals of Forest Science, Vol 76 n° 4 (December 2019)  

Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science > Vol 76 n° 4 (December 2019) Titre : Phosphorus availability in relation to soil properties and forest productivity in Pinus sylvestris L. plantations Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Teresa Bueis, Auteur ; Felipe Bravo, Auteur ; Valentin Pando, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] biomasse forestière [Termes IGN] écosystème forestier [Termes IGN] Espagne [Termes IGN] industrie forestière [Termes IGN] phosphore [Termes IGN] Pinus sylvestris [Vedettes matières IGN] Ecologie forestière Résumé : (auteur) Key message : Pinus sylvestris L. productivity in Spanish plantations is driven by P availability, which, in turn, is determined by the activity of soil microorganisms, responsible for inorganic P solubilization; Fe and Al contents, responsible for P retention; and organic matter, which is source of organic P, inhibits its precipitation as insoluble compounds, and reduces P retention. Context : Phosphorus is often a limiting nutrient in forest ecosystems mainly due to the low solubility of P compounds and the sorption processes occurring in soils. Aims : The main aims of this work were to evaluate soil P availability, to assess which soil properties are driving P availability, and to study whether soil P availability is determining forest productivity in Pinus sylvestris L. plantations in Northern Spain. Methods : Soil properties and forest productivity were studied in 34 plots located in monospecific P. sylvestris plantations. Tiessen and Moir (Canadian Society of Soil Science 75–86, 1993) sequential fractionation method was carried out to determine different forms of soil P and to provide a comprehensive assessment of available P in soils. To explore the relationships between these variables, canonical correlation analyses and Pearson’s correlations were studied. Results : Significant correlations were found between P fractions and soil properties related to Fe and Al contents, organic matter, and microbial biomass. Besides, significant correlations were found between site index and the studied P fractions except for P extracted with anion exchange membrane (PAEM) and the recalcitrant P fraction. Conclusion : In the studied soils, P availability is low and the predominant fractions of P are the recalcitrant forms. Aluminum and iron contents in the soils studied play an important role in sorption processes related to the highly and moderately labile P fractions and the organic phosphorus. P availability seems to be regulated by both processes: biochemical mineralization, where phosphatase activity is relevant, and biological mineralization of the soil organic matter. Phosphorus availability affects forest productivity in the Pinus sylvestris plantations studied.

Knowing is not enough: exploring the missing link between climate change knowledge and action of German forest owners and managers / Yvonne Hengst-Ehrhart in Annals of Forest Science, Vol 76 n° 4 (December 2019)  

Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science > Vol 76 n° 4 (December 2019) Titre : Knowing is not enough: exploring the missing link between climate change knowledge and action of German forest owners and managers Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Yvonne Hengst-Ehrhart, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] Allemagne [Termes IGN] foresterie [Termes IGN] gestion forestière [Termes IGN] industrie forestière [Termes IGN] politique forestière [Termes IGN] propriétaire forestier [Termes IGN] régression multiple [Vedettes matières IGN] Végétation et changement climatique Résumé : (auteur) Key message : Adaptation to climate change is a complex but urgent task in forest management; however, a lack of action is widely reported. This study shows that adaptive action on both stand and business levels is missing in forest management. Beyond the cognitive dimension, affective and conative aspects should be promoted through awareness-raising initiatives specific to different target groups. Context : Adaptation to climate change is a complex but urgent task in forest management. A lack of action is widely reported combined with a call for awareness-raising and better knowledge transfer to bridge the gap between knowledge and action. Aims : Based on an understanding of awareness encompassing cognitive, affective, and conative dimensions, the paper aims to clarify (1) what kind of adaptive measures are missing in forest management and (2) if there is a gap in climate change awareness of forest owners and managers hindering adaptive action. Methods : An online survey among German forest owners and managers was conducted. The theory of planned behavior was selected to examine variables which support the implementation of adaptive measures and to examine different awareness dimensions. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analysis. Results : Adaptive measures on stand level were more often implemented than those on business level. All awareness dimensions were influential for the intention to implement adaptive measures. Experience and attitude towards adaptive measures were most important while social norm and perceived behavioral control were influential in some groups. Conclusion : The potential of adaptive measures on stand level and particularly on business level is not fully exploited. Based on these findings, awareness-raising initiatives and forest consultancy can be adapted to consider the specific perspectives of target groups as a means of promoting the implementation of adaptive measures.
