Precise deadwood density estimates are necessary to evaluate the biomass and carbon stocked in this component. For a better understanding of the deadwood dynamics in natural forests, given its higher abundance, it is important to achieve deeper knowledge about its decay rate and how it is influenced by environmental factors. In this study, we estimated dry deadwood density for two different tree species, silver fir (Abies alba) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and for three snags and five logs decomposition classes (class 1 representing snag/log deadwood at early stages of decomposition and class 3/5 representing snags or logs, respectively, at its most advanced state of decomposition) in a virgin mixed beech-fir forest in the Southern Carpathians. The goal of this study was to assess how deadwood density is influenced by different abiotic (moisture, elevation, slope, aspect) and wood-related factors (rottenness, position of the sampling along the deadwood piece, the contact with the soil).For snags, the mean dry density showed a reduced variability within decomposition classes (484-326 kg.m-3 for beech and 374-319 kg.m-3 for fir), compared to the logs (486-139 kg.m-3 for beech and 359-161 kg.m-3 for fir). While the mass moisture varied slowly in the first three decay classes (around 60-80%), it increased sharply in the last two decay classes of logs (> 140% in the fourth classes and > 350% in the last one). The rottenness increased with the decay degree in a similar way for both species. The contact of logs with the soil influenced positively the moisture of the log, but the position of the sampling along the piece did not play any significant role in the variability of density. The density estimates per decay classes were used to compare the amount of carbon (C) sequestered as deadwood for each species. The mean biomass of C as deadwood at Sinca virgin forest varied greatly among the 21 plots from 0.36 to 41.16 MgC ha-1, with a mean value of 15.96 ± 2.36 (±SE) MgC ha-1.Our study suggests that volume-based calculations might yield biased quantitative estimates of C stored as deadwood unless a local estimate of dead wood density corrected per species and decomposition class is applied. Moreover, using an averaged value of dry density instead of dry density value for each decay class may result in an overestimation of 22% on the estimation of C stock sequestered as deadwood. Thus, our study may also help planning future inventories of C stocks in other virgin forests and for other species, (e.g., make emphasis in estimating densities in all decay classes). Furthermore, it could serve as a methodological basis for more specific research designed to uncover the potential influence of different forest management practices on dry deadwood density.

A stabilisation by planting rare or missing tree species is expensive and requires funding. A funding policy should mitigate climate change and support biodiversity. The goal of this study was to identify a conversion strategy of even-aged spruce-dominated forest stands to uneven-aged mixed stands with spruce (Picea abies (L.) H.Karst.), beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), and fir (Abies alba Mill.). A simultaneous nonlinear optimisation of the number of planted trees and harvested trees per species and per period schedules stand treatments aiming to maximise the long-term financial outcome. Planting modelling extends a density-dependent stand-level matrix transition model based on diameter classes with an age-class-based model for artificial regeneration. An optimal conversion strategy was applied for five funding policy schemes, each for five initial states representing different stages of age and species composition typical for spruce forest conversion in the mountain zone of the Western Carpathians. Only 50% and higher funding of planting costs for the minor/missing fir and beech species facilitates a substantial increase of their shares in stand volume. Funding decreases the volume failure due to mortality. Funding increases the standing and harvested volume, which mitigates climate change by increasing the carbon sequestration. Funding causes unintended effects on ecosystem services by lowering harvest diameters, decreasing the volume of less profitable beech, and temporarily reducing the stand density aimed at supporting plantings and their diameter increments.

Two case studies, of different elevation, from Romania were selected to be considered for setting up some observation points as lookout points. Fuzzy viewshed analysis was performed to evaluate the degree of visibility of certain landscape components and was also used as a tool for territorial planning. The main results of the research were some particular viewshed analysis area according to the dominant visibility directions. This methodology may be useful to local authorities, which are the only responsible bodies for authorizing, creating and setting up lookout points in a given space or for organizing certain planning activities.

Therefore, assessing the growth response of provenances growing in field trials to climate provides useful information for identifying the more appropriate provenance or variety. To determine the genetic gain through selection of the most productive and resilient families and to decipher the role of crown forms of Norway spruces (Picea abies (L.) Karst.), we used 24 families with a classical crown (pyramidalis) and 24 with a narrow crown (pendula) from eight provenances, growing in a 25-year-old comparative trial. The annual wood characteristics (ring width and early- and latewood), the wood resistance (expressed by latewood proportion (LWP)), and the growth response to climate of the two spruce crown forms were investigated. No significant differences between the two spruce forms were found regarding the ring width characteristics. However, three pendula families of Stâna de Vale I provenance exhibited the highest LWP and could be included in a future selection strategy, the respective trait having also high heritability. Radial growth was positively and significantly correlated with previous September and current July precipitation and negatively with current June temperature. Both spruce forms showed good recovery capacity after a drought event.

Genetic diversity and structure of Silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) at the south-eastern limit of its distribution range / Maria Teodosiu in Annals of forest research, vol 62 n° 2 (June - December 2019)  

Public [article]  inAnnals of forest research > vol 62 n° 2 (June - December 2019) Titre : Genetic diversity and structure of Silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) at the south-eastern limit of its distribution range Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Maria Teodosiu, Auteur ; Georgeta Mihai, Auteur ; Barbara Fussi, Auteur ; Elena Ciocîrlan, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] Abies alba [Termes IGN] aire de répartition [Termes IGN] analyse de groupement [Termes IGN] analyse de variance [Termes IGN] Carpates [Termes IGN] changement climatique [Termes IGN] composition d'un peuplement forestier [Termes IGN] conservation des ressources forestières [Termes IGN] échantillonnage [Termes IGN] estimation bayesienne [Termes IGN] génétique forestière [Termes IGN] indice de diversité [Termes IGN] Roumanie [Vedettes matières IGN] Sylviculture Résumé : (auteur) In the Romanian Carpathians, Silver fir covers about 5% of the forest area and is the second most important conifer species. Although there are a number of genetic studies concerning the distribution of genetic diversity of Abies alba in Europe, populations from the south-eastern limit of the distribution range have been studied less. The aim of the present study was to assess the genetic diversity and differentiation in 36 silver fir populations along the Carpathian Mountains in Romania, using seven microsatellites loci. High levels of genetic diversity (He = 0.779 to 0.834 and AR = 11.61 to 14.93) were found in all populations. Eastern Carpathians populations show higher levels of diversity, both in allelic richness and expected heterozygosity and higher degrees of genetic differentiation compared to southern populations. Bayesian clustering analysis revealed the existence of two genetically distinct groups for silver fir populations, one larger cluster which comprises the Inner Eastern Carpathians, Curvature Carpathians, South Carpathians and the Banat Mountains and the second cluster contained most of the North and Outer Eastern Carpathians population. Both AMOVA and Barrier analysis supported genetic differentiation among geographical provenance regions. The high genetic diversity of silver fir populations from the eastern limit of its distribution provide high potential to mitigate the negative effects of climate warming being valuable genetic resources in the context of global change. The distribution pattern of genetic variation at local, regional and country scale could and should be considered for the preservation of the forest genetic resources.
