Gossner, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 3 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] Allemagne [Termes IGN] biodiversité végétale [Termes IGN] botanique systématique [Termes IGN] écosystème forestier [Termes IGN] gestion forestière durable [Termes IGN] inventaire forestier étranger (données) [Termes IGN] peuplement mélangé [Termes IGN] protection de la biodiversité [Termes IGN] structure d'un peuplement forestier [Termes IGN] surveillance de la végétation [Vedettes matières IGN] Ecologie forestière Résumé : (auteur) Key message: Authors have analyzed the possible correlation between measurements/indicators of forest structure and species richness of many taxonomic or functional groups over three regions of Germany. Results show the potential to use structural attributes as a surrogate for species richness of most of the analyzed taxonomic and functional groups. This information can be transferred to large-scale forest inventories to support biodiversity monitoring. Context: We are currently facing a dramatic loss in biodiversity worldwide and this initiated many monitoring programs aiming at documenting further trends. However, monitoring species diversity directly is very resource demanding, in particular in highly diverse forest ecosystems. Aims: We investigated whether variables applied in an index of stand structural diversity, which was developed based on forest attributes assessed in the German National Forest Inventory, can be calibrated against richness of forest-dwelling species within a wide range of taxonomic and functional groups. Methods: We used information on forest structure and species richness that has been comprehensively assessed on 150 forest plots of the German biodiversity exploratories project, comprising a large range of management intensities in three regions. We tested, whether the forest structure index calculated for these forest plots well correlate with the number of species across 29 taxonomic and functional groups, assuming that the structural attributes applied in the index represent their habitat requirements. Results: The strength of correlations between the structural variables applied in the index and number of species within taxonomic or functional groups was highly variable. For some groups such as Aves, Formicidae or vascular plants, structural variables had a high explanatory power for species richness across forest types. Species richness in other taxonomic and functional groups (e.g., soil and root-associated fungi) was not explained by individual structural attributes of the index. Results indicate that some taxonomic and functional groups depend on a high structural diversity, whereas others seem to be insensitive to it or even prefer structurally poor stands. Conclusion: Therefore, combinations of forest stands with different degrees of structural diversity most likely optimize taxonomic diversity at the landscape level. Our results can support biodiversity monitoring through quantification of forest structure in large-scale forest inventories. Changes in structural variables over inventory periods can indicate changes in habitat quality for individual taxonomic groups and thus points towards national forest inventories being an effective tool to detect unintended effects of changes in forest management on biodiversity.

Nos sœurs les plantes, une pensée interdisciplinaire pour aborder le vivant en termes de parenté / Etienne Grésillon in Natures Sciences Sociétés, Vol 30 n° 3-4 (juillet - décembre 2022)

Elle remet en question la partition entre ces deux règnes et réfute la thèse aristotélicienne dissociant les humains, les animaux et les plantes. « Les plantes nos sœurs1 » permet ici une réflexion sur le patrimoine biologique commun entre les animaux (humain compris) et les plantes. Pour comprendre ce qui relie les vivants, nous souhaitons apporter ici une pensée hybride combinant sciences de la vie et sciences humaines. Il s’agit, au moyen d’une approche interdisciplinaire, d’associer le développement de la phylogénie et des récentes découvertes sur le végétal, de présenter ce que les parcours évolutifs de l’animal et du végétal ont de commun ainsi que de comprendre les freins socioculturels liés à l’héritage aristotélicien et judéo-chrétien qui ont empêché de penser le vivant comme une parentèle. Les données récentes sur la « neurobiologie végétale » relancent une réflexion autour de ce qui est partagé entre les animaux et les plantes (sensibilité, capacité d’apprentissage, comportement, agentivité). Dans ce contexte, une vision de l’humain détaché des autres espèces n’est plus tenable. La vie des uns ne peut pas être déconnectée de la vie des autres.

A model-based scenario analysis of the impact of forest management and environmental change on the understorey of temperate forests in Europe / Bingbin Wen in Forest ecology and management, vol 522 (October-15 2022)

Given the sensitivity of this forest layer to forest management and global environmental change and the limited knowledge on its long-term dynamics, there is a need for decision support systems that can guide temperate forest managers to optimize their management in terms of understorey outcomes. In this study, using understorey resurvey data collected from across temperate Europe, we developed Generalized Additive Models (GAM) to predict four understorey properties based on forest management and environmental change data, and implemented this model in a web-based tool as a prototype understorey Decision Support System (DSS). Using seventy-two combined climate change, nitrogen(N) deposition and forest management scenarios, applied to two case study regions in Europe, we predicted temperate forest understorey biodiversity dynamics between 2020 and 2050. A sensitivity analysis subsequently allowed to quantify the relative importance of canopy opening, N deposition and climate change on understorey dynamics. Our study showed that, regardless of regions, understorey richness and the proportion of forest specialists generally decreased among most scenarios, but the proportion of woody species and the understorey vegetation total cover increased. Climate warming, N deposition, and increases in canopy openness all influenced understorey dynamics. Climate warming will shift composition towards a selection of forest generalists and woody species, but a less open canopy could mitigate this shift by increasing the proportion of forest specialists. The case studies also showed that these responses can be context-dependent, especially in terms of responses to N deposition.

Proposed approaches often rely on the Spectral Variation Hypothesis (SVH), linking the heterogeneity of terrestrial vegetation to the variability of the spectroradiometric signals. Yet, due to observational limitations, the SVH has been insufficiently tested, remaining unclear which metrics, methods, and sensors could provide the most reliable estimates of plant biodiversity. Here we assessed the potential of RS to infer plant biodiversity using radiative transfer simulations and inversion. We focused specifically on “functional diversity,” which represents the spatial variability in plant functional traits. First, we simulated vegetation communities and evaluated the information content of different functional diversity metrics (FDMs) derived from their optical reflectance factors (R) or the corresponding vegetation “optical traits,” estimated via radiative transfer model inversion. Second, we assessed the effect of the spatial resolution, the spectral characteristics of the sensor, and signal noise on the relationships between FDMs derived from field and remote sensing datasets. Finally, we evaluated the plausibility of the simulations using Sentinel-2 (multispectral, 10 m pixel) and DESIS (hyperspectral, 30 m pixel) imagery acquired over sites of the Functional Significance of Forest Biodiversity in Europe (FunDivEUROPE) network. We demonstrate that functional diversity can be inferred both by reflectance and optical traits. However, not all the FDMs tested were suited for assessing plant functional diversity from RS. Rao's Q index, functional dispersion, and functional richness were the best-performing metrics. Furthermore, we demonstrated that spatial resolution is the most limiting RS feature. In agreement with simulations, Sentinel-2 imagery provided better estimates of plant diversity than DESIS, despite the coarser spectral resolution. However, Sentinel-2 offered inaccurate results at DESIS spatial resolution. Overall, our results identify the strengths and weaknesses of optical RS to monitor plant functional diversity. Future missions and biodiversity products should consider and benefit from the identified potentials and limitations of the SVH.

Significant loss of ecosystem services by environmental changes in the Mediterranean coastal area / Adriano Conte in Forests, vol 13 n° 5 (May 2022)  

Public [article]  inForests > vol 13 n° 5 (May 2022) . - n° 689 Titre : Significant loss of ecosystem services by environmental changes in the Mediterranean coastal area Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Adriano Conte, Auteur ; Ilaria Zappitelli, Auteur ; Lina Fusaro, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 689 Note générale : bilbliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Ecologie [Termes IGN] biodiversité [Termes IGN] écosystème [Termes IGN] forêt méditerranéenne [Termes IGN] Leaf Area Index [Termes IGN] littoral méditerranéen [Termes IGN] Pinus (genre) [Termes IGN] pollution atmosphérique [Termes IGN] puits de carbone [Termes IGN] Quercus suber [Termes IGN] Rome [Termes IGN] service écosystémique Résumé : (auteur) Mediterranean coastal areas are among the most threated forest ecosystems in the northern hemisphere due to concurrent biotic and abiotic stresses. These may affect plants functionality and, consequently, their capacity to provide ecosystem services. In this study, we integrated ground-level and satellite-level measurements to estimate the capacity of a 46.3 km2 Estate to sequestrate air pollutants from the atmosphere, transported to the study site from the city of Rome. By means of a multi-layer canopy model, we also evaluated forest capacity to provide regulatory ecosystem services. Due to a significant loss in forest cover, estimated by satellite data as −6.8% between 2014 and 2020, we found that the carbon sink capacity decreased by 34% during the considered period. Furthermore, pollutant deposition on tree crowns has reduced by 39%, 46% and 35% for PM, NO2 and O3, respectively. Our results highlight the importance of developing an integrated approach combining ground measurements, modelling and satellite data to link air quality and plant functionality as key elements to improve the effectiveness of estimate of ecosystem services.
