Knowledge about the growth responses of urban trees to climate is of utmost importance towards future management of green infrastructure with the aim of a sustainable provision of the environmental ecosystem services. Using tree-ring records, this study analyzed growth response to climate by stem diameter at breast height (DBH) of 1178 trees in seven large cities worldwide, including Aesculus hippocastanum L. in Munich; Platanus × hispanica Münchh. in Paris; Quercus nigra L. in Houston; Quercus robur L. in Cape Town; Robinia pseudoacacia L. in Santiago de Chile, Munich, and Würzburg; and Tilia cordata Mill. in Berlin, Munich, and Würzburg. Climate was characterized following the de Martonne aridity index (DMI). Overall, trees showed an 8.3% lower DBH under arid than humid climate at the age of 100. Drought-tolerant tree species were overall not affected by climate. However, R. pseudoacacia showed a lower diameter when growing in semi-dry than humid climate. In contrast, drought-sensitive tree species were negatively affected by arid climate. Moreover, the effect of drought years on annual diameter increment was assessed. P. × hispanica and R. pseudoacacia appeared as the most drought-resistant species. The highest sensitivity to drought was detected in T. cordata and Q. robur. A. hippocastanum and Q. nigra showed a lower diameter growth during drought events, followed by a fast recovery. This study’s findings may contribute to a better understanding of urban tree growth reactions to climate, aiming for sustainable planning and management of urban trees.

Comparing individual-tree approaches for predicting height growth of underplanted seedlings / John M. Lhotka in Annals of Forest Science, vol 72 n° 4 (June 2015)

Context : Quantitative approaches describing the relationship between canopy structure and seedling growth can inform silvicultural decision making regarding the development of tree reproduction beneath a dominant forest canopy. Aims : Individual-tree seedling growth models with canopy structure predictors derived from tree inventory data have not been well-explored. This study compared a model framework fit using point-based measures of canopy structure observed at the seedling level to one fit using area-wide canopy structure variables derived from standard inventory plot data. Methods : Species-specific models predicting 5-year height growth were fit for cherrybark oak (Quercus pagoda Raf.), water oak (Quercus nigra L.), and yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.) underplanted within a canopy structure gradient created by silvicultural manipulation of a closed-canopy forest in Georgia, USA. Results : Though the species varied in shade tolerance and growth rates, the general relationship between the predictor variables and height growth was similar among species and model type. Models highlight the importance of including predictor variables that describe seedling size along with openness and vertical structure of the forest canopy. Conclusion : While the two model frameworks had comparable fit statistics, the one with predictors derived from tree inventory data may have enhanced utility as it can be directly integrated into existing individual-tree forest growth simulators.
