To predict transmitted radiation, the turbid medium approach performs much better than the porous envelop, especially when accounting for the intra-specific variations in leaf area density but crown shape has limited effects. When fitting with tree growth data, the porous envelop approach combined with the more complex crown shape provides better results. When using a joint optimization with both variables, the better options are the turbid medium and the more detailed approach for describing crown shape and leaf area density. Context: Solar radiation transfer is a key process of tree growth dynamics in forest. Aims: Determining the best options to parametrize a forest radiative transfer model in heterogeneous oak and beech stands from Belgium. Methods: Calibration and evaluation of a forest radiative transfer module coupled to a spatially explicit tree growth model were repeated for different configuration options (i.e., turbid medium vs porous envelope to calculate light interception by trees, crown shapes of contrasting complexity to account for their asymmetry) and response variables used for fitting (transmitted radiation and/or tree growth data). Results: The turbid medium outperformed the porous envelope approach. The more complex crown shapes enabling to account for crown asymmetry improved performances when including growth data in the calibration. Conclusion: Our results provide insights on the options to select when parametrizing a forest radiative 3D-crown transfer model depending on the research or application objectives.

The Salem simulator version 2.0: a tool for predicting the productivity of pure and mixed stands and simulating management operations / Raphaël Aussenac in Open Research Europe, vol 2021 ([01/03/2021])  

Public [article]  inOpen Research Europe > vol 2021 [01/03/2021] Titre : The Salem simulator version 2.0: a tool for predicting the productivity of pure and mixed stands and simulating management operations Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Raphaël Aussenac, Auteur ; Thomas Pérot, Auteur ; Mathieu Fortin, Auteur ; François de Coligny, Auteur ; Jean-Matthieu Monnet, Auteur ; Patrick Vallet, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] biomasse [Termes IGN] composition d'un peuplement forestier [Termes IGN] modèle de simulation [Termes IGN] modélisation de la forêt [Termes IGN] peuplement mélangé [Termes IGN] peuplement pur [Termes IGN] production primaire brute [Termes IGN] productivité biologique [Vedettes matières IGN] Foresterie Résumé : (auteur) A growing body of research suggests mixed-species stands are generally more productive than pure stands. However, this effect of mixture depends on species assemblages and environmental conditions and forest managers often lack tools to assess the potential benefit of shifting from pure to mixed stands. Here we present Salem, a simulator filling this gap. Salem predicts the dynamics of pure and mixed even-aged stands and makes it possible to simulate management operations. Its purpose is to be a decision support tool for forest managers and stakeholders as well as for policy makers. It is also designed to conduct virtual experiments and help answer research questions. In Salem, we parameterised the growth in pure stand of 12 common tree species of Europe and we assessed the effect of mixture on species growth for 24 species pairs (made up of the 12 species mentioned above). Thus, Salem makes it possible to compare the productivity of 36 different pure and mixed stands depending on environmental conditions and user-defined management strategies. Salem is essentially based on the analysis of National Forest Inventory data. A major outcome of this analysis is that we found species mixture most often increases species growth, in particular at the poorest sites. Independently from the simulator, foresters and researchers can also consider using the species-specific models that constitute Salem: the growth models including or excluding mixture effect, the bark models, the diameter distribution models, the circumference-height relationship models, as well as the volume equations for the 12 parameterised species. Salem runs on Windows, Linux, or Mac. Its user-friendly graphical user interface makes it easy to use for non-modellers. Finally, it is distributed under a LGPL license and is therefore free and open source.

The objective of this contribution is to assess the precision and accuracy of Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) for estimating volumes and above‐ground biomass (AGB) of the woody parts of tropical trees, and for the calibration of allometric models. We used a destructive dataset of 61 trees, with diameters and AGB of up to 186.6 cm and 60 Mg respectively, which were scanned, felled and weighed in the semi‐deciduous forests of eastern Cameroon. We present an operational approach based on available software allowing the retrieving of TLS volume with low bias and high accuracy for large tropical trees. Edition of the obtained models proved necessary, mainly to account for the complexity of buttressed parts of tree trunks, which were separately modelled through a meshing approach, and to bring a few corrections in the topology and geometry of branches, thanks to the amapstudio‐scan software. Over the entire dataset, TLS‐derived volumes proved highly reliable for branches larger than 5 cm in diameter. The volumes of the remaining woody parts estimated for stumps, stems and crowns as well as for the whole tree proved very accurate (RMSE below 2.81% and R² above of .98) and unbiased. Once converted into AGB using mean local‐specific wood density values, TLS estimates allowed calibrating a biomass allometric model with coefficients statistically undistinguishable from those of a model based on destructive data. The Unedited Quantitative Structure Model (QSM) however leads to systematic overestimations of woody volumes and subsequently to significantly different allometric parameters. We can therefore conclude that a non‐destructive TLS approach can now be used as an operational alternative to traditional destructive sampling to build the allometric equations, although attention must be paid to the quality of QSM model adjustments to avoid systematic bias.
