Context: Climate warming may change the carbon (C) storage in forest biomass and soil through future shifts in tree species composition. With a projected warming by 2–3 K over the twenty-first century, silvicultural adaptation measures and natural succession might lead to the replacement of European beech forests by thermophilic oak forests in drought- and heat-affected regions of central and south-eastern Europe, but the consequences for ecosystem C storage of this species shift are not clear. Aims: To quantify the change in C storage in biomass and soil with a shift from beech (Fagus sylvatica) to oak forest (Quercus petraea, Q. frainetto, Q. cerris), we measured the aboveground biomass (AGC) and soil C pools (SOC). Methods: AGC pools and SOC stocks to − 100 cm depth were calculated from forest inventory and volume-related SOC content data for beech, mixed beech-oak and oak forests in three transects in the natural beech-oak ecotone of western Romania, where beech occurs at its heat- and drought-induced distribution limit. Results: From the cooler, more humid beech forests to the warmer, more xeric oak forests, which are 1–2 K warmer, AGC and SOC pools decreased by about 22% (40 Mg C ha−1) and 20% (17 Mg C ha−1), respectively. The likely main drivers are indirect temperature effects acting through tree species and management in the case of AGC, but direct temperature effects for SOC. Conclusion : If drought- and heat-affected beech forests in Central Europe are replaced by thermophilic oak forests in future, this will lead to carbon losses of ~ 50–60 Mg ha−1, thus reducing ecosystem carbon storage substantially.

Improving the Fagacées growth model with an expanded common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) data series from France and Germany / Gilles Le Moguédec in Annals of Forest Science [en ligne], vol 78 n° 4 (December 2021)  

Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science [en ligne] > vol 78 n° 4 (December 2021) . - n° 84 Titre : Improving the Fagacées growth model with an expanded common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) data series from France and Germany Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Gilles Le Moguédec, Auteur ; Sidonie Artru, Auteur ; Axel Albrecht, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 84 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] allométrie [Termes IGN] Fagus sylvatica [Termes IGN] forêt équienne [Termes IGN] France (administrative) [Termes IGN] hauteur des arbres [Termes IGN] jeu de données [Termes IGN] modèle de croissance végétale [Termes IGN] modélisation de la forêt [Termes IGN] Quercus (genre) [Termes IGN] République fédérale d'Allemagne [Vedettes matières IGN] Inventaire forestier Résumé : (auteur) Key message: The Fagacées growth model was originally designed for application in the Northern half of France. It is a robust model with potential applicability to a larger area, though this potential has not yet been verified. We added new data to the original parameterization data set and our results show that the Fagacées formalism can be generalized. Context: The Fagacées growth and yield model was designed for the management of pure even-aged stands of European beech and served as a prototype to build models for other tree species. Aims: The objective of this study was to improve the growth components of the Fagacées model with additional data from North-Western France to South-Western Germany. Material and methods: Our model was calibrated on several forest inventory data sets. The first one (F) is the original data set that was used to elaborate the equations in the Fagacées model. The second one (F+) is the original data set extended with additional measurements on the same sites and on new sites in Northern France. The third (G) adds complementary data from a forest network in Southwestern Germany. The last one (A) is the aggregate of all these data sets. Results: Fitting the original model equations on the extended F+ dataset led us to modify the equation for stand basal area increment. This new equation also fit the German dataset well. The other equations could be applied to all datasets, some with the same parameter values and some after recalibrating according to the dataset. Conclusion: We conclude that the general form of the model’s equations is appropriate for application to other regions, but that a recalibration of the equations is preferable in order to reflect local conditions. The advantage of our approach is that fewer data are required to recalibrate an existing equation than to establish an entirely new one.

Estimating timber volume loss due to storm damage in Carinthia, Austria, using ALS/TLS and spatial regression models / Arne Nothdurft in Forest ecology and management, vol 502 (15 december 2021)

Model parameters were estimated using growing stock volume measured with a terrestrial laser scanner on 62 sample plots distributed across five sub-regions. Predictor variables were derived from high resolution vegetation height measurements collected during an airborne laser scanning campaign. Non-spatial and spatial candidate models were proposed and assessed based on fit to observed data and out-of-sample prediction. Spatial Gaussian processes associated model intercepts and regression coefficients were used to capture spatial dependence. Results show a spatially-varying coefficient model, which allowed the intercept and regression coefficients to vary spatially, yielded the best fit and prediction. Two approaches were considered for prediction over blowdown areas: 1) an areal approach that viewed each blowdown as a single prediction unit indexed by its centroid; and 2) a block approach where each blowdown was partitioned into smaller prediction units to better align with sample plots’ spatial support. Joint prediction was used to acknowledge spatial dependence among block units. Results demonstrated the block approach is preferable as it mitigated change-of-support issues encountered in the areal approach. Despite the small sample size, predictions for 55% of the total 564 blowdown areas, accounting for 93% of the total loss, had a coefficient of variation less than 25%. Key advantages of the proposed regression framework and chosen Bayesian inferential paradigm, were the ability to quantify uncertainty in spatial covariance parameters, propagate parameter uncertainty through to prediction, and provide statistically valid prediction point and interval estimates for individual blowdowns and collections of blowdowns at the sub-region and region scale via posterior predictive distribution summaries.

The efficiency of retention measures in continuous-cover forestry for conserving epiphytic cryptogams: A case study on Abies alba / Stefan Kaufmann in Forest ecology and management, vol 502 (15 december 2021)  

Public [article]  inForest ecology and management > vol 502 (15 december 2021) . - n° 119698 Titre : The efficiency of retention measures in continuous-cover forestry for conserving epiphytic cryptogams: A case study on Abies alba Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Stefan Kaufmann, Auteur ; Sarah-Katharina Funck, Auteur ; Franziska Paintner, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 119698 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] Abies alba [Termes IGN] Allemagne [Termes IGN] Bryophyte [Termes IGN] coupe rase (sylviculture) [Termes IGN] diamètre à hauteur de poitrine [Termes IGN] échantillonnage [Termes IGN] écosystème forestier [Termes IGN] Fagus sylvatica [Termes IGN] habitat (nature) [Termes IGN] lichen [Termes IGN] Picea abies [Vedettes matières IGN] Ecologie forestière Résumé : (auteur) Lacking structural diversity in production forests has been evidenced to decrease epiphytic bryophytes and lichens. One approach to create structurally more diverse forests is retention forestry. Only a small number of studies focused on the effectiveness of retention measures in continuous-cover forestry. Most studies have been conducted in even-aged, clear-cut based management systems and applied different approaches, but they all have in common that the retained trees have been examined for epiphytes only after harvest. Thus, it remains unclear whether these trees or even a certain tree species could take the life-boat function for epiphytes on logged sites. Thus, prior to logging, we assessed epiphytic bryophytes and lichens on potential large living retention trees, here referred to as habitat trees (HT), of Abies alba and compared the diversity pattern to nearby average trees (AT; A. alba, Fagus sylvatica or Picea abies) of smaller sizes in selectively harvested continuous-cover forests. Selection of AT was based on the average stem diameter of all trees within the stand. We found that species richness and Simpson diversity of lichens were significantly higher on HT. For bryophytes, F. sylvatica AT showed significantly higher Simpson diversity. Mixed models revealed positive effects of F. sylvatica on bryophytes, whereas large stem diameters and elevation were the driving forces for lichens. Additionally, ordinations revealed clear patterns in species composition separating between conifers and broadleaved trees, and along increasing altitude and stem diameter. Concerning HT selection, we suggest to focus rather on the tree species diversity than on stem diameter, when aiming to protect epiphytic bryophytes and lichens.

A wide range of techniques can be successfully applied to survey and monitor glaciers with different spatial and temporal resolutions. However, going back in time to retrace the evolution of a glacier is still a challenging task. Historical aerial images, e.g., those acquired for regional cartographic purposes, are extremely valuable resources for studying the evolution and movement of a glacier in the past. This work analyzed the evolution of the Belvedere Glacier by means of structure from motion techniques applied to digitalized historical aerial images combined with more recent digital surveys, either from aerial platforms or UAVs. This allowed the monitoring of an Alpine glacier with high resolution and geometrical accuracy over a long span of time, covering the period 1977–2019. In this context, digital surface models of the area at different epochs were computed and jointly analyzed, retrieving the morphological dynamics of the Belvedere Glacier. The integration of datasets dating back to earlier times with those referring to surveys carried out with more modern technologies exploits at its full potential the information that at first glance could be thought obsolete, proving how historical photogrammetric datasets are a remarkable heritage for glaciological studies.
