In western Pyrenean silver fir (Abies alba) stands, dieback concurs in space and time with the legacies of past management, but the impacts on forest growth, structure and composition are unknown. We aim to disentangle how dieback interacts with the legacies of past human use and modulates the recent dynamics of silver fir forests. To this end, we sampled eleven silver fir forests across wide climatic gradients and included declining and non-declining sites. We measured radial growth, structure, composition, understory cover and type and amount of deadwood. Silver fir growth declines in response to late-summer drought. In declining sites, most defoliated stands showed the lowest silver fir density and were those where growth depended more on water availability. Tree death enhanced the cover of dominant understory plants such as Buxus sempervirens. Past management activities leave an imprint in the growth of silver fir, such as releases due to past logging, but also affect the number of stumps and snags and the current tree density. A more extensive monitoring will be required to fully disentangle the multiple influences of past management legacies and current climate change on forest dynamics.

Nonparametric upscaling of bark beetle infestations and management from plot to landscape level by combining individual-based with Markov chain models / Bruno Walter Pietzsch in European Journal of Forest Research, vol 142 n° 1 (February 2023)

One major beneficiary of climate-induced changes is the European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus). To improve the mechanistic understanding of climate change impacts on long-term beetle infestation risks, individual-based simulation models (IBM) such as the bark beetle dispersion model IPS-SPREADS have been proven as effective tools. However, the computational costs of IBMs limit their spatial scale of application. While these tools are best suitable to simulate bark beetle dynamics on the plot level, upscaling the process to larger areas is challenging. The larger spatial scale is, nevertheless, often required to support the selection of adequate management intervention. Here, we introduce a novel two-step approach to address this challenge: (1) we use the IPS-SPREADS model to simulate the bark beetle dispersal at a local scale by dividing the research area into 250 × 250 m grid cells; and (2) we then apply a metamodel framework to upscale the results to the landscape level. The metamodel is based on Markov chains derived from the infestation probabilities of IPS-SPREADS results and extended by considering neighbor interaction and spruce dieback of each focal cell. We validated the metamodel by comparing its predictions with infestations observed in 2017 and 2018 in the Saxon Switzerland national park, Germany, and tested sanitation felling as a measure to prevent potential further outbreaks in the region. Validation showed an improvement in predictions by introducing the model extension of beetle spreading from one cell to another. The metamodel forecasts indicated an increase in the risk of infestation for adjacent forest areas. In case of a beetle mass outbreak, sanitation felling intensities of 80 percent and above seem to mitigate further outbreak progression.

The causes of these phenomena, which are usually related to local and regional extreme hot droughts, have been extensively investigated from a physiological viewpoint. However, the consequences of die-off process in terms of demography and vegetation dynamics have been less thoroughly addressed. Here, we projected P. sylvestris plot dynamics after a die-off event, under climate change scenarios, considering also their early demographic stages (i.e., seedlings, saplings and ingrowth from the sapling to adult class), to assess the resilience of P. sylvestris populations after such events. We used Integral Projection Models (IPMs) to project future plot structure under current climate, and under RCP4.5 and RCP8.0 climate scenarios, using climatic suitability – extracted from Species Distribution Models – as a covariable in the estimations of vital rates over time. Field data feeding IPMs were obtained from two successive surveys, at the end of the die-off event (2013) and four years later (2017), undertaken on populations situated across the P. sylvestris range of distribution in Catalonia (NE Spain). Plots affected by die-off experienced a loss of large trees, which causes that basal area, tree diameter and tree density will remain lower for decades relative to unaffected plots. After the event, this situation is partially counterbalanced in affected plots by a greater increase in basal area and seedling recruitment into tree stage, thus promoting resilience. However, resilience is delayed under the climate-change scenarios with warmer and drier conditions involving additional physiological stress, due to a reduced abundance of seedlings and a smaller plot basal area. The study shows lagged effect of drought-induced die-off events on forest structure, also revealing stabilizing mechanisms, such as recruitment and tree growth release, which enhance resilience. However, these mechanisms would be jeopardized by oncoming regional warming.

A new strategy for improving the accuracy of forest aboveground biomass estimates in an alpine region based on multi-source remote sensing / Yali Zhang in GIScience and remote sensing, vol 60 n° 1 (2023)  

Public [article]  inGIScience and remote sensing > vol 60 n° 1 (2023) . - n° 2163574 Titre : A new strategy for improving the accuracy of forest aboveground biomass estimates in an alpine region based on multi-source remote sensing Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Yali Zhang, Auteur ; Ni Wang, Auteur ; Yuliang Wang, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 2163574 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] biomasse aérienne [Termes IGN] biomasse forestière [Termes IGN] carte forestière [Termes IGN] Chine [Termes IGN] données multisources [Termes IGN] image Landsat-ETM+ [Termes IGN] image Landsat-OLI [Termes IGN] image Landsat-TM [Termes IGN] image radar moirée [Termes IGN] image Sentinel-MSI [Termes IGN] phénologie [Termes IGN] puits de carbone [Termes IGN] santé des forêts Résumé : (auteur) Spatially explicit information on the distribution of dominant tree species groups and aboveground biomass (AGB) in forested areas is essential for developing targeted forest management and biodiversity conservation measures, as well as assessing forest carbon sequestration capacity. There is a shortage of continuously updated 30-m spatial resolution products for mapping dominant tree species groups. The vast majority of remote sensing-based AGB estimation approaches have relatively low accuracy for dominant tree species groups or forest types and are unsuitable for AGB modeling. Therefore, this study aims to develop an integrated framework that considers the phenological characteristics of different tree species to improve the mapping accuracies of forest dominant tree groups and corresponding AGB estimates. Thirty-meter resolution maps of dominant tree species groups were created using machine learning algorithms and phenological parameters. Features extracted from optical and radar images and phenological characteristics were used to construct AGB estimation models in a temporally consistent manner to improve the AGB estimation accuracy and perform dynamic AGB monitoring. The proposed method accurately characterized the dynamic distribution of the dominant tree species groups in the study area. The traditional AGB model that does not consider different forest types or species had an R2 value of 0.52, whereas the proposed model that considers phenology and forest types had an R2 value of 0.67. This result indicates that incorporating information on phenology and dominant species improves the accuracy of AGB estimations. The AGB in most regions was 30–55 t/ha, showing that the majority of the forests were young or middle-aged stands, and the areal percentage of AGB greater than 30 t/ha increased during the study period, suggesting an improvement in forest quality. Furthermore, the oak AGB was the highest, indicating that oak afforestation should be encouraged to enhance the carbon sequestration capacity of future forest ecosystems. The results provide new insights for researchers and managers to understand the trends of forest development and forest health, as well as technical information and a database for formulating more rational forest management strategies.

Productivity losses and increased defoliation and mortality rates have already been recorded for many tree species worldwide. However, dieback is a process that depends on complex interactions between many biotic and environmental factors acting at different scales, and is thus difficult to address and predict. Our aim was to build tree- and stand-level foliar deficit models integrating biotic and abiotic factors for Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), a species particularly threatened in Europe, and especially in the southeastern part of France. To this end, we quantified foliar deficit in 1740 trees from 87 plots distributed along an environmental gradient. We also measured tree annual radial growth and the abundance of two parasites: the pine processionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa Den. & Schiff.) and mistletoe (Viscum album L.). Topographic, soil, climate and water balance indices were assessed for each plot, together with the stand dendrometric characteristics. Given the large number of environmental factors and the strong correlations between many of them, models were developed using a partial least squares (PLS) regression approach. All the models pointed to a preponderance of the biotic factors (processionary moth and mistletoe) in explaining the intensity of foliar deficit at both tree- and stand- levels. We also show that strong interactions between climate, soil, water balance and biotic factors help to explain the intensity of dieback. Dieback was thus greater in the driest topoedaphic and climatic conditions where the mistletoe and processionary moth were present. This study highlights the need to account for a wide range of biotic and abiotic factors to explain the complex process of forest dieback, and especially the environmental variables that contribute to the water balance on the local scale. The phenomenological modeling approach presented here can be used in other regions and for other species, after a re-calibration and some adaptations to local constraints considering the limited distribution area of some biotic agents.
