Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science [en ligne] > vol 78 n° 3 (September 2021) . - n° 57 Titre : Assessing the land expectation value of even-aged vs coppice-with-standards stand management and long-term effects of whole-tree harvesting on forest productivity and profitability Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Abdelwahad Bessaad, Auteur ; Jean-Philippe Terreaux, Auteur ; Nathalie Korboulewsky, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 57 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] Castanea sativa [Termes IGN] changement climatique [Termes IGN] croissance des arbres [Termes IGN] gestion forestière durable [Termes IGN] marché du bois [Termes IGN] mortalité [Termes IGN] productivité [Termes IGN] Quercus sessiliflora [Termes IGN] récolte de bois [Vedettes matières IGN] Foresterie Résumé : (auteur) Key message: Whole-tree harvesting makes forests more profitable than conventional harvest as long as the impact on tree growth remains under 2.3% for even-aged oak ( Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) and 3.4% for sweet chestnut ( Castanea sativa Mill.) coppice with oak standards. Coppice-with-standards may have potential to be more profitable than even-aged oak in case of 50% rise in fuelwood prices with 10% decrease in timber prices. Context: Making the shift to renewable energy sources requires increasing biomass removal from the forest in a sustainable way. Today, the most common practice for forest biomass extraction is whole-tree harvesting rather than conventional harvest in which only stems are harvested or sometimes branches larger than 7 cm in diameter. However, intensive biomass harvesting can certainly increase economic profitability but it could affect long-term forest productivity because more nutrients are exported from sites. Aims: We explored the land expectation value of even-aged oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) and sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) coppice with oak standards under different discount rates and wood prices scenarios, tree mortality triggered by climate variation as well as the effects of a decrease in forest productivity due to whole-tree harvesting on the land expectation value (LEV). Methods: We modeled two plausible harvesting scenarios for both stands and assessed their LEV. We first analyzed the sensitivity of the valuation results to discount rate, wood prices changes, and increased tree mortality rates. Second, we compared conventional harvest to whole-tree harvesting in which removing the fine wood implies a decrease in tree growth over the long term (between 1 and 10%). Results: In the current economic situation, the LEV of even-aged oak is higher than coppice-with-standards but this situation could be reversed in case of rising energy prices and lower timber prices in the future. The variation of the discount rate has a significant impact on the LEV but 3% seems to be adequate for European forests. A gradual increase in annual tree mortality rate of 0.6 and 0.9% along even-aged and CWS rotation, respectively, reduced the LEV by half, while increased mortality with constant rates along the rotations had more negative effect on the LEV than gradual increases: 0.4–0.5% increases in mortality rates reduced both LEV’s by half. Whole-tree harvesting is able to improve the LEV for both stands by 36 to 64% compared to conventional harvest; but this improvement of LEV only lasts as long as the impact on tree growth remains under 2.3 and 3.4%, respectively, for even-aged oak stand and coppice-with-standards. Conclusion: Whole-tree harvesting system increases forest profitability as long as the sustainability guidelines for biomass harvesting are respected. With the increased demand for fuelwood, the coppice-with-standards regime may become financially attractive once again and fulfill a multitude of forest owner objectives with a wide range of additional options.

Forest floor bryophyte and lichen diversity in Scots pine and Norway spruce production forests / Lisa Petersson in Forest ecology and management, vol 493 (1st August 2021)  

Public [article]  inForest ecology and management > vol 493 (1st August 2021) . - n° 119210 Titre : Forest floor bryophyte and lichen diversity in Scots pine and Norway spruce production forests Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Lisa Petersson, Auteur ; Staffan Nilsson, Auteur ; Emma Hölmstrom, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 119210 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] Bryophyte [Termes IGN] écosystème forestier [Termes IGN] lichen [Termes IGN] phytosociologie [Termes IGN] Picea abies [Termes IGN] Pinophyta [Termes IGN] Pinus sylvestris [Termes IGN] sol forestier [Termes IGN] Suède [Vedettes matières IGN] Ecologie forestière Résumé : (auteur) Bryophytes and lichens are two main components of the forest floor vegetation. They provide essential ecosystem services, including nutrient recycling and water regulation. Here, we contrast the species richness, cover and community composition of forest floor bryophytes and lichens in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Norway spruce (Picea abies) dominated production forests. The study sites were located in the hemiboreal zone of southern Sweden, and represented early-, mid- and late rotation stands. Our aim was to examine the potential consequences for forest floor biodiversity from the decreasing use of Scots pine production forests in this region. Whereas Scots pine and Norway spruce stands did not differ in bryophyte cover, we found a higher cover of lichens in Scots pine stands, and highest in the intermediate aged stands. Also the species richness of lichens was higher in the Scots pine stands, while bryophyte species richness was higher in the Norway spruce stands. Differences in canopy cover and associated light transmittance to the forest floor appears to be important drivers for distinctive different forest floor communities in the Scots pine and Norway spruce stands, as revealed by Non-Metric Multidimensional Scaling (NMDS). Mean Ellenberg indicator values for bryophytes and lichens showed that species associated with Scots pine stands were characterized by their tolerance of brighter conditions, higher insolation, and better adaptation to a continental climate. Norway spruce stands instead had a comparably larger proportion of species tolerating lower light, but also indicators of higher available nutrient levels, humidity, and pH. The outcome of the Ellenberg indicator species analysis, as well as the larger cover of lichens,and adaptations to drought found among some mosses, revealed that forest floor communities are shaped by different environmental factors in Scots pine and Norway spruce production stands. These environmental differences, and the quantified shifts in forest floor communities identified in this study, indicate the large shifts in understory bryophyte and lichen species composition and abundance that is likely to occur if Scots pine stands are converted to Norway spruce.

Detecting structural changes induced by Heterobasidion root rot on Scots pines using terrestrial laser scanning / Timo P Pitkänen in Forest ecology and management, vol 492 (15 July 2021)  

Public [article]  inForest ecology and management > vol 492 (15 July 2021) . - n° 119239 Titre : Detecting structural changes induced by Heterobasidion root rot on Scots pines using terrestrial laser scanning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Timo P Pitkänen, Auteur ; Tuula Piri, Auteur ; Aleski Lehtonen, Auteur ; Mikko Peltoniemi, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 119239 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Lasergrammétrie [Termes IGN] arbre mort [Termes IGN] détection de changement [Termes IGN] diamètre à hauteur de poitrine [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] Finlande [Termes IGN] Fungi [Termes IGN] houppier [Termes IGN] maladie phytosanitaire [Termes IGN] Pinus sylvestris [Termes IGN] semis de points Résumé : (auteur) Root rot, caused by the decay fungus Heterobasidion annosum, damages both below- and above-ground parts of Scots pines (Pinus Sylvestris L.). The diseased pines are often first characterized by deteriorated crowns and they will eventually be killed by the infection, but the process is gradual and difficult to be observed before the symptoms are severe. We tested the applicability of point cloud data produced by terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) for quantifying the structural differences between the healthy and the diseased trees. This approach was applied in a mature pine stand in southern Finland, which was known to be infected by H. annosum. We first scanned the stand using TLS, and thereafter felled the trees for detailed inspection and classification of the infection status. From the TLS point cloud, we estimated i) crosscut areas within the lowest 1 m of the stem, identifying potential deformations initiated by the fungus, ii) degree of crown deterioration, often providing the first visual signs of the infection at the level of individual trees, and iii) crown occupancy and open space around the trees, prone to be altered by the mycelial spread of the fungus between the adjacent trees. The results indicate that differences in both stem dimensions and crown deterioration can be detected between the healthy and the diseased trees. The diseased trees were found to have a more swollen butt, but no irregularities in circularity of the crosscuts were detected. In terms of vertical point distribution, the diseased trees had point accumulations at substantially greater heights, reflecting easier penetration of laser beams and sparsity of the crown. Regarding to crown occupancy, the diseased trees had more open space around their crowns, but difference to the healthy trees was not statistically significant. According to a simple prediction test based on the calculated features, up to 85% classification accuracy of the infection status was reached. This study is the first indication that TLS can successfully be applied for detecting structural changes of Scots pines connected to Heterobasidion root rot. Our results also show evidence that H. annosum causes butt swelling, which has rarely been reported as a symptom for Scots pines.

The presence of shade-intolerant conifers facilitates the regeneration of Quercus petraea in mixed stands / Jeremy Borderieux in Forest ecology and management, vol 491 (1st July 2021)  

Public [article]  inForest ecology and management > vol 491 (1st July 2021) . - n° 119189 Titre : The presence of shade-intolerant conifers facilitates the regeneration of Quercus petraea in mixed stands Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Jeremy Borderieux, Auteur ; Yoan Paillet, Auteur ; Marine Dalmasso , Auteur ; Anders Mårell, Auteur ; Thomas Pérot, Auteur ; Patrick Vallet, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Projets : 1-Pas de projet / Article en page(s) : n° 119189 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] Cervidae [Termes IGN] évapotranspiration [Termes IGN] inventaire forestier national (données France) [Termes IGN] peuplement mélangé [Termes IGN] Pinophyta [Termes IGN] Quercus sessiliflora [Termes IGN] régénération (sylviculture) [Termes IGN] sol forestier [Termes IGN] température de surface [Vedettes matières IGN] Foresterie Résumé : (auteur) Positive productivity-diversity relationships, pest-effect mitigation and increased resilience and stability maintain an ongoing interest for mixed stands in forestry. However, how mixing species affects forest regeneration is yet to be further explored. We used data from the French National Forest Inventory (from 2006 to 2016) to model Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl regeneration cover in pure and mixed Quercus petraea stands; we included the effects of abiotic and biotic factors as well as mixture. We hypothesized that the characteristics of the companion species would prevent or facilitate the regeneration of oak. Quercus petraea regeneration cover in this study responded negatively to total canopy cover and herbivory pressure. Mean July potential evapotranspiration (PET), mean December maximal temperature and soil pH are variables whose spatial variations over a given territory structure regeneration cover; all three of these variables have optimum values. Quercus petraea regeneration cover is linked to the proportion of Quercus petraea in the canopy layer in all mixed stands, except when the oak is mixed with shade-intolerant conifers: in this case, Quercus petraea regeneration is enhanced. The shade tolerance of admixed broadleaved species did not affect the Quercus petraea regeneration. This suggests that oak regeneration was facilitated with a shade-intolerant coniferous companion species due to better light transmittance through the crown or the competitive advantage of Quercus petraea over coniferous shade-intolerant species. These results are of interest for oak mixtures since Quercus petraea regeneration cover benefits from mixtures with shade-intolerant conifers and is at least equal to that of pure stands.

The increase in computation capabilities over the last several decades and the development of new statistical techniques have allowed for the automation of forest resource map generation through image analysis techniques and machine learning algorithms. The availability of large-scale data and the high temporal resolution that satellite platforms provide mean that it is possible to obtain updated information about forest resources at the stand level, thus increasing the quality of the spatial information. However, photointerpretation of satellite and aerial images is still the most common way that remote sensing information is used for NFIs or forest management purposes. This study describes a methodology that automatically maps the main forest covers in Galicia (Eucalyptus spp., conifers and broadleaves) using Worldview-2 and the random forest classifier. Furthermore, the method also evaluates the separate mapping of the three most abundant Pinus tree species in Galicia (Pinus pinaster, Pinus radiata and Pinus sylvestris). According to the results, Worldview-2 multispectral images allow for the efficient differentiation between the main forest classes that are present in Galicia with a very high degree of accuracy (91%) and ample spatial detail. Pinus species can also be efficiently differentiated (83%).
