Yet, less optimal fixed-width approach is still largely used, likely because of its simple design and implementation. We examined the efficiency of varying-width buffer zones based on depth-to-water (DTW) index in protecting stream riparian plant communities. We further compared the economic costs of DTW-based buffer to commonly used 5, 10 and 15 m fixed-width buffers. We also included an additional buffer based on a combination of DTW and erosion risk (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation, RUSLE) into these comparisons to see the extent and cost of a buffer that should maximize the protection of the linked aquatic environment. Plant species richness increased with increasing soil moisture and species preferring moist conditions, nutrient-rich soils and high pH were clearly more abundant adjacent to stream in areas with high predicted soil moisture than in dry areas. Differences in species richness were paralleled by differences in community composition and higher beta diversity of plant communities in wet than in dry riparian areas. There were also several indicator species typical for moist and nutrient-rich soils for wet riparian areas. Riparian buffer zones based on DTW were on average larger than 15 m wide fixed-width buffers. However, the cost for DTW-based buffer was lower than for fixed-width buffer zones when the cost was normalized by area. Simulated selective cutting decreased the costs, but cutting possibilities were variable among streams and depended on the characteristics of forest stands. Our results thus suggest a high potential of DTW in predicting wet areas and variable-width buffer zones based on these areas in the protection of riparian biodiversity and stream ecosystems.

The causes of these phenomena, which are usually related to local and regional extreme hot droughts, have been extensively investigated from a physiological viewpoint. However, the consequences of die-off process in terms of demography and vegetation dynamics have been less thoroughly addressed. Here, we projected P. sylvestris plot dynamics after a die-off event, under climate change scenarios, considering also their early demographic stages (i.e., seedlings, saplings and ingrowth from the sapling to adult class), to assess the resilience of P. sylvestris populations after such events. We used Integral Projection Models (IPMs) to project future plot structure under current climate, and under RCP4.5 and RCP8.0 climate scenarios, using climatic suitability – extracted from Species Distribution Models – as a covariable in the estimations of vital rates over time. Field data feeding IPMs were obtained from two successive surveys, at the end of the die-off event (2013) and four years later (2017), undertaken on populations situated across the P. sylvestris range of distribution in Catalonia (NE Spain). Plots affected by die-off experienced a loss of large trees, which causes that basal area, tree diameter and tree density will remain lower for decades relative to unaffected plots. After the event, this situation is partially counterbalanced in affected plots by a greater increase in basal area and seedling recruitment into tree stage, thus promoting resilience. However, resilience is delayed under the climate-change scenarios with warmer and drier conditions involving additional physiological stress, due to a reduced abundance of seedlings and a smaller plot basal area. The study shows lagged effect of drought-induced die-off events on forest structure, also revealing stabilizing mechanisms, such as recruitment and tree growth release, which enhance resilience. However, these mechanisms would be jeopardized by oncoming regional warming.

Taller and slenderer trees in Swedish forests according to data from the National Forest Inventory / Alex Appiah Mensah in Forest ecology and management, vol 527 (January-1 2023)  

Public [article]  inForest ecology and management > vol 527 (January-1 2023) . - n° 120605 Titre : Taller and slenderer trees in Swedish forests according to data from the National Forest Inventory Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Alex Appiah Mensah, Auteur ; Hans Petersson, Auteur ; Jonas Dahlgren, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 120605 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] azote [Termes IGN] changement climatique [Termes IGN] diamètre à hauteur de poitrine [Termes IGN] forêt boréale [Termes IGN] gestion forestière [Termes IGN] hauteur des arbres [Termes IGN] inventaire forestier étranger (données) [Termes IGN] Picea abies [Termes IGN] Pinus sylvestris [Termes IGN] Suède [Termes IGN] surface terrière [Vedettes matières IGN] Inventaire forestier Résumé : (auteur) Changes over time in annual basal area growth and mean height for Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) over the period, 1983–2020 were studied using sample tree data from temporary plots recorded in the Swedish National Forest Inventory. The annual basal area growth was derived from the last measured full ring on increment cores. Using 20 to 60-year-old dominant trees, the mean height and annual basal area growth were examined as functions of tree, stand and site conditions, and trends were assessed mainly using residual analyses over time. A significant increase in mean height at a given age was found for both species, but the annual basal area growth level remained stable over the 38-year period. Currently, at a given age of 50 annual rings at breast height, the mean heights of pines and spruces increased on average by 10.1% (i.e. ∼2 m), compared to 50 year-old pines and spruces in the 1980s, and the increase was similar in the different regions. The results suggest that trees have become taller and slenderer in Swedish forests. Increasing tree height over time at a given age in Northern Europe has been documented in several reports and many causes have been suggested, such as changed forest management, increasing temperatures and nitrogen deposition. We suggest that elevated CO2 in the air and improved water-use efficiency for the trees might also be strong drivers.

Productivity losses and increased defoliation and mortality rates have already been recorded for many tree species worldwide. However, dieback is a process that depends on complex interactions between many biotic and environmental factors acting at different scales, and is thus difficult to address and predict. Our aim was to build tree- and stand-level foliar deficit models integrating biotic and abiotic factors for Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), a species particularly threatened in Europe, and especially in the southeastern part of France. To this end, we quantified foliar deficit in 1740 trees from 87 plots distributed along an environmental gradient. We also measured tree annual radial growth and the abundance of two parasites: the pine processionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa Den. & Schiff.) and mistletoe (Viscum album L.). Topographic, soil, climate and water balance indices were assessed for each plot, together with the stand dendrometric characteristics. Given the large number of environmental factors and the strong correlations between many of them, models were developed using a partial least squares (PLS) regression approach. All the models pointed to a preponderance of the biotic factors (processionary moth and mistletoe) in explaining the intensity of foliar deficit at both tree- and stand- levels. We also show that strong interactions between climate, soil, water balance and biotic factors help to explain the intensity of dieback. Dieback was thus greater in the driest topoedaphic and climatic conditions where the mistletoe and processionary moth were present. This study highlights the need to account for a wide range of biotic and abiotic factors to explain the complex process of forest dieback, and especially the environmental variables that contribute to the water balance on the local scale. The phenomenological modeling approach presented here can be used in other regions and for other species, after a re-calibration and some adaptations to local constraints considering the limited distribution area of some biotic agents.

Canopy self-replacement in Pinus sylvestris rear-edge populations following drought-induced die-off and mortality / Jordi Margalef- Marrase in Forest ecology and management, vol 521 (October-1 2022)  

Public [article]  inForest ecology and management > vol 521 (October-1 2022) . - n° 120427 Titre : Canopy self-replacement in Pinus sylvestris rear-edge populations following drought-induced die-off and mortality Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Jordi Margalef- Marrase, Auteur ; Guillem Bagaria, Auteur ; Francisco Lloret, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 120427 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] adaptation (biologie) [Termes IGN] analyse de données [Termes IGN] canopée [Termes IGN] Catalogne (Espagne) [Termes IGN] changement climatique [Termes IGN] classification et arbre de régression [Termes IGN] croissance des arbres [Termes IGN] dépérissement [Termes IGN] mortalité [Termes IGN] Pinus sylvestris [Termes IGN] Quercus pubescens [Termes IGN] sécheresse [Vedettes matières IGN] Végétation et changement climatique Résumé : (auteur) In recent years, Pinus sylvestris die-off and mortality events have occurred across all its range of distribution, usually associated with recurrent droughts induced by climate change. A shift in canopy dominance towards other better adapted co-existing species can be expected, especially in populations located close to their climatic tolerance limits. Herein, we tested, along a local elevational gradient, whether canopy opening resulting from die-off and mortality favours the growth of a non-dominant co-existing tree species (Quercus pubescens) established in the sub-canopy, in comparison to P. sylvestris sub-canopy trees. We also tested whether the growth of both species is associated with local climatic suitability for these species (extracted from SDMs) or, alternatively, with direct measures of micro-climatic variables. Finally, the effect on tree growth of other micro-local factors such as competition, canopy closure and micro-topography was also tested. Sub-canopy tree growth was enhanced overall by canopy opening resulting from P. sylvestris canopy die-off, but this response was stronger in P. sylvestris trees, reinforcing the self-replacement of this species after die-off. This higher growth rate is related to modifications in the micro-local climate (higher temperatures in the wettest quarter). Conversely, Q. pubescens is less sensitive to micro-local climate conditions but it can grow faster than P. sylvestris on stands with no canopy die-off or mortality. In contrast, climatic suitability extracted from SDMs was negatively related to sub-canopy P. sylvestris growth and had no effect on Q. pubescens. These contrasting results support observations at plot scale that P. sylvestris self-replacement is better explained by local environmental conditions than by values of climatic suitability obtained from regional-scale data-sets. Nevertheless, these climatic suitability measures remain consistent with the overall pattern of low seedling recruitment observed in previous works at the rear edge of species' distribution. This study reveals that short-term shifts in species dominance at a local scale will not necessarily occur in the studied P. sylvestris forests following die-off. This finding endorses the notion that micro-local environment and species traits (i.e., light and temperature tolerance, life-history strategies) modulate the capacity for resilience in rear-edge populations that would probably be prone to collapse otherwise.
