We could automatically detect and measure the defects with a diameter as small as 0.5 cm on either oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) or beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) trees that display either rough or smooth bark. Context : Ground-based light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology describes standing trees with a high level of detail. This provides an opportunity to assess standing tree quality and to use this information in forest inventory. Assuming the availability of a very high level of detail, we could extract information about the surface defects, mainly inherited from past ramification and having a strong impact on wood quality. Aims : Within the general framework of the development of a computing method able to detect, identify, and quantify the defects on the trunk surface described from 3D data produced by a terrestrial LiDAR, this study focuses on the relevance of the whole process for two tree species with contrasted bark roughness (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl. and Fagus sylvatica L.) in terms of detection, identification of the defects, and comparison with measurements performed manually on the bark surface. Methods : First, a segmentation algorithm detected singularities on the trunk surface. Next, a Random Forests machine learning algorithm identified the most probable defect type and allowed the elimination of false detections. Finally, we estimated the position, horizontal, and vertical dimensions of each defect from 3D data, and we compared them to those observed directly on the trunk by an operator. Results : The defects were detected and classified with a high accuracy with an average F1 score (harmonic mean of precision and recall) of 0.74. There were differences in computed and observed defect areas, but a much closer agreement for the number of defects. Conclusion : The information about the defects present on the trunk surface measured from terrestrial LiDAR data can be used in an automated procedure for grading standing trees or roundwoods.

Mixture effect on radial stem and shoot growth differs and varies with temperature / Maude Toïgo in Forest ecology and management, vol 488 (15 May 2021)  

Public [article]  inForest ecology and management > vol 488 (15 May 2021) . - n° 119046 Titre : Mixture effect on radial stem and shoot growth differs and varies with temperature Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Maude Toïgo, Auteur ; Gaël Ledoux, Auteur ; Soline Martin-Blangy, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 119046 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes descripteurs IGN] Abies alba [Termes descripteurs IGN] Alpes (France) [Termes descripteurs IGN] climat [Termes descripteurs IGN] croissance végétale [Termes descripteurs IGN] diamètre des arbres [Termes descripteurs IGN] échantillonnage [Termes descripteurs IGN] Fagus sylvatica [Termes descripteurs IGN] forêt tempérée [Termes descripteurs IGN] houppier [Termes descripteurs IGN] indice de stress [Termes descripteurs IGN] peuplement mélangé [Termes descripteurs IGN] Quercus pubescens [Termes descripteurs IGN] température [Vedettes matières IGN] Sylviculture Résumé : (auteur) The effect of species diversity on forest productivity and its temporal stability is known to be species-, climate- and site- dependent and is mostly apprehended through stem diameter. Therefore, it remains largely unknown whether the mixture effect on the growth of tree crowns is similar to its effect on the growth of tree diameter. However, it is commonly accepted that changes in crown architecture are an important component of tree response to tree species diversity. Moreover, the mixture effect on species is often asymmetric, i.e. the effect of a species A on a species B is not equal to the effect of species B on A. It then appears that considering the effects of both species mixture and climate on shoot growth could contrast the results coming mainly from stem growth. We studied the effects of tree species mixture and temperature on the annual growth of shoots and basal area of stems in Fagus sylvatica-Quercus pubescens and Fagus sylvatica-Abies alba stands along a Mediterranean-Alpine gradient, for four years in five sites. The sample design was organized in 10 triplets: four triplets of mono- and bi-specific plots of Quercus pubescens and Fagus sylvatica and six triplets of mono- and bi-specific plots of Abies alba and Fagus sylvatica along an altitudinal gradient ranging from 725 m to 1431 m. We found that the mixture effect on annual shoot volume increment (SVI) and on basal area increment (BAI) was asymmetrical in seven out of 10 cases and not significant in the three remaining cases. Mixture effect on SVI ranked from −56% to 157% and on BAI it ranked from −40% to 252%. Eventually we found that mixture effect was dependent on the type of limiting factor for growth, with at the driest sites a predominance of competition effects and at the coldest site a positive mixture effect on the two species studied. Branch growth appears as a variable that can be at least as informative as radial growth regarding the tree response to species interactions. This implies that considering only stem diameter in the diversity-productivity relationship can lead to biased conclusions on the global mixture effect on tree growth, which calls for a comprehensive approach of the tree response to tree species diversity. Our results are discussed in the light of the species stress tolerances and strategies to cope with competition.

However, self-thinning relationships are often quantified using only data at a conceptualised self-thinning line, even though self-thinning can begin before the stand actually reaches a self-thinning line. Also, few self-thinning relationships account for the effects of species composition in mixed-species forests, and stand structure such as relative height of species (in mixtures), and/or size or age cohorts in uneven-aged forests. Such considerations may be important given the effects of global climate change and interest in mixed-species and uneven-aged forests. The objective of this study was to develop self-thinning relationships based on changes in the tree density relative to mean tree diameter, instead of focusing only on data for state variables (e.g. tree density) at the self-thinning line. This was done while also considering how the change in tree density is influenced by site quality and stand structure (species composition and relative height). The relationships were modelled using data from temperate Australian Eucalyptus plantations (436 plots), subtropical forests in China (88 plots), and temperate forests in Switzerland (1055 plots). Zero-inflated and hurdle generalized linear models with Poisson and negative binomial distributions were fit for several species, as well as for all-species equations. The intercepts and slopes of the self-thinning lines were higher than many published studies which may have resulted from both the less restrictive equation form and data selection. The rates of self-thinning often decreased as the proportion of the object species increased, as relative height increased (species or size cohort became more dominant), and as site (quality) index increased. The effects of aridity varied between species, with self-thinning increasing with aridity index for Abies alba, Pinus sylvestris, Quercus petraea and Quercus robur, but decreasing with aridity index for Eucalyptus nitens, Fagus sylvatica and Picea abies as sites became wetter and cooler. Self-thinning model parameters were not correlated with species traits, including specific leaf area, wood basic density or crown diameter – stem diameter allometry. All-species self-thinning relationships based on all data could be adjusted using a correction factor for rarer species where there were insufficient data to develop species-specific equations. The approach and equations developed could be used in forest growth models to calculate how the tree density declines as mean tree size increases, as height changes relative to other cohorts or species, as species proportions change, and as climatic and edaphic conditions change.

Incorporating interactions of multiple variables, the ML methods ANN and SVM predicted nonlinear system behavior and unraveled complex relations with greater accuracy than regression analysis. Context: Investigating the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of short-term forest dynamics is essential for testing whether the desired goals in forest-ecosystem conservation and restoration are achieved. Inventory data from the Jojadeh section of the Farim Forest located in the uneven-aged, mixed Hyrcanian Forest were used to model and predict 10-year net annual stand volume increment with new machine learning technologies. Aims: The main objective of this study was to predict net annual stand volume increment as the preeminent factor of forest growth and yield models. Methods: In the current study, volume increment was modeled from two consecutive inventories in 2003 and 2013 using four machine learning techniques that used physiographic data of the forest as input for model development: (i) artificial neural networks (ANN), (ii) support vector machines (SVM), (iii) random forests (RF), and (iv) nearest neighbor analysis (NN). Results from the various machine learning technologies were compared against results produced with regression analysis. Results: ANNs and SVMs with a linear kernel function that incorporated field-measurements of terrain slope and aspect as input variables were able to predict plot-level volume increment with a greater accuracy (94%) than regression analysis (87%). Conclusion: These results provide compelling evidence for the added utility of machine learning technologies for modeling plot-level volume increment in the context of forest dynamics and management.
