The urban spaces, which are becoming increasingly extensive and dense, are particularly sensitive to the effects of climate change. Greening cities has been identified as one of the most effective ways to mitigate one of these effects, the urban heat island. In this context, the city of Liège, Belgium, has adopted a greening plan, called “Plan canopée”, to increase the tree canopy area at city level. The aim of this study is to present the methodology used to objectivize and prioritize the selection of potential planting sites. This research proposes the production of a series of spatial indicators allowing, on the one hand, the precise mapping of urban surfaces ready for planting, and on the other hand, the objective prioritization of city districts to be vegetated. The research integrates airborne image classification, urban heat island modeling and a series of reference geodata combinations. The set of data produced provides a transparent decision support tool to the authorities for the operational planning of tree plantations. These results contribute to the development of a planting strategy that maximizes the chances of ownership by the citizens, and consequently the sustainable and effective impact of the achievements.

Mapping abundance distributions of allergenic tree species in urbanized landscapes: A nation-wide study for Belgium using forest inventory and citizen science data / Sébastien Dujardin in Landscape and Urban Planning, vol 218 (February 2022)

However, data is not always available for the allergy-relevant species such as alder, birch, hazel, especially within cities where systematic inventories are often missing or not readily available. This research presents an approach to produce high-resolution abundance maps of allergenic tree species using existing forest inventories and opportunistic open-access citizen science data. Following a two-step approach, we first built species distribution models (SDMs) to predict species habitat suitability, using environmental characteristics as predictors. Second, we used statistical regressions to model the relationships between abundance, the habitat suitability predicted by the SDMs, and additional vegetation cover covariates. The combination of forest inventory data with citizen science data improves the accuracy of abundance distribution models of allergenic tree species. This produces a continuous, 1-hectare resolution map of alder, birch, and hazel showing spatial variations of abundance distributions both within the urban fabric and along the urban–rural gradient. Species abundance modelling can offer a better understanding of the existing and potential future allergy risk posed by green spaces and pave the way for a wide variety of applications at fine-scale, which is indispensable for evidence-based urban green space policy and planning in support of public health.

Radiative transfer modeling in structurally complex stands: towards a better understanding of parametrization / Frédéric André in Annals of Forest Science, vol 78 n° 4 (December 2021)  

Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science > vol 78 n° 4 (December 2021) . - n° 92 Titre : Radiative transfer modeling in structurally complex stands: towards a better understanding of parametrization Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Frédéric André, Auteur ; Louis de Wergifosse, Auteur ; François de Coligny, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 92 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] Belgique [Termes IGN] couvert forestier [Termes IGN] croissance des arbres [Termes IGN] densité du feuillage [Termes IGN] diamètre à hauteur de poitrine [Termes IGN] estimation bayesienne [Termes IGN] Fagus sylvatica [Termes IGN] houppier [Termes IGN] Leaf Mass per Area [Termes IGN] modèle de croissance végétale [Termes IGN] modèle de transfert radiatif [Termes IGN] peuplement mélangé [Termes IGN] photosynthèse [Termes IGN] production primaire brute [Termes IGN] production primaire nette [Termes IGN] Quercus sessiliflora [Termes IGN] structure d'un peuplement forestier [Vedettes matières IGN] Foresterie Résumé : (auteur) Key message: The best options to parametrize a radiative transfer model change according to the response variable used for fitting. 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.

Growth recovery and phenological responses of juvenile beech (fagus sylvatica L.) exposed to spring warming and late spring frost / Kristine Vander Mijnsbrugge in Forests, vol 12 n° 11 (November 2021)

The impact of extreme temperature may depend on the tree species and also on the provenance. Ten provenances of Fagus sylvatica L. were grown in a common garden environment in Belgium and subjected to different temperature treatments. Half of the one year old seedlings were submitted to a high thermal stress in the spring of the first year, and all plants were exposed to a late spring frost in the second year. The high-temperature treated plants displayed reduced growth in the first year, which was fully compensated (recovery with exact compensation) in the second year for radial growth and in the third year for height growth. Frost in the spring of the second year damaged part of the saplings and reduced their growth. The frost damaged plants regained the pre-stress growth rate one year later (recovery without compensation). The high temperature treatment in the first year and the frost damage in the second year clearly influenced the phenological responses in the year of the event and in the succeeding year. Little population differentiation was observed among the provenances for growth and for phenological responses. Yet, a southern provenance, a non-autochthonous provenance (original German provenance that was planted in Belgium about a century ago) and a more continental provenance flushed earlier than the local Atlantic provenances in the year of the frost event, resulting in more frost damage. Some caution should therefore be taken when translocating provenances as an anticipation of the predicted climate warming.

Delineation of cities based on scaling properties of urban patterns: a comparison of three methods / Gaëtan Montero in International journal of geographical information science IJGIS, vol 35 n° 5 (May 2021)

In this paper, we adopt a purely morphological approach and compare three methods for the morphological delineation of cities. Each method avoids using any predefined quantified threshold (size, distance, built density, etc.) to detect crucial discontinuities in space. The first method identifies Natural Cities by clustering points. The other two are the fractal-based MorphoLim method and the Hierarchical Percolation; both involve transforming the data using a step-by-step dilation process. The three methods are critically compared and illustrated by applications to theoretical urban patterns. We further apply each method to the urban agglomeration of Brussels, the Belgian capital, using different data (building footprints, building centroids and street nodes) and considering two study areas, namely the former province of Brabant and the entire country of Belgium. The results show that it is impossible to draw an unambiguous morphological boundary for an urban agglomeration. Consequently, it is crucial to relate the data used, the size of the study area and the method chosen to the objectives of the delineation.
