Today, these so-called “Green Eyes” (GE) are 82-year old. In our study we focused on two different timelines to investigate the effects of forest conversion on vegetation composition, forest floor and mineral soil properties, encompassing a long-term (>80 year) comparison from tree planting in the 1930s to 2018 and a shorter timeframe nearly spanning 20 years (1999–2018). Since long-term forest conversion experiments (>60 years) across sites sharing a common forest land-use history are scarce, our study allows to contribute to a better evaluation of the long-term effects on changes in soil properties. We linked standard methods assessing soil pH, organic C and total N concentrations as well as stocks as indicators of soil quality changes in forest floor and mineral soil (down to 40 cm depth) to patterns in ground vegetation dynamics (most GE were characterized only by a few herbaceous species). Our results exhibited an effect of forest conversion on the activation in forest floor turnover resulting in increased turnover rates in the GE (GE contain only half of the forest floor OM of CS), hence forming more bioactive humus forms (mull, moder) and a noticeable higher forest floor pH (+0.6 units) compared to CS. The OC translocation from the forest floor into the topsoil is higher under GE (+0.7% OC content), probably building up a stable SOC pool hence contributing to C sequestration. The positive effects of European beech on forest floor quality are related to a stronger acidification of the subsoil during the past 20 years (-0.5 pH units). The base pump effect (uptake of Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ and assimilation into tree biomass in exchange release of H+) in GE led to more acidic conditions (- 0.2 pH units) in the deeper mineral soil compared to CS. This bio-acidification may serve as one reason for subsoil acidification, as observed in our study, pointing out that mineral soil acidification is still an important issue in central European forests. Future restoration of soil base cation pools will still depend on the rate of bio-acidification, on the amount of acidifying air pollutant (and base cation) depositions and on forest management practices (e.g. intensity of biomass removal, soil regeneration-oriented liming).

Despite huge intraspecific variation in wood density depending on the biotic and abiotic environments of tree growth, this variable is most often considered a tree species constant in C budgets. The aims were i) to identify variations in BR along decorrelated water, soil nutrition and elevation gradients, ii) to test for differences between broadleaved and conifer tree species in BR variations, and iii) to weight the contribution of interspecific and intraspecific diversity in BR variations. Methods: Analyses were based on massive wood density measurements performed with an X-ray medical scanner on 54,700 tree cores collected in 2016 and 2017 on the spatially systematic plot sampling design of the French national forest inventory (NFI) program. Results: BR variations along the three gradients were found significant. BR hence decreased by 73 kg.m-3 (conifers) and 126 kg.m-3 (broadleaves) along a 180 mm gradient of soil water holding capacity (SWHC). It also increased by 153 kg.m-3 on average along the full gradient of soil basicity Index (SBI). A negative trend along elevation was also identified, with an average decrease by 155 kg.m-3 from 200 to 2000 m of elevation. Species distribution was found to be the main cause of BR variations along these gradients. Conclusions: We report dependences of BR on both water (–), nutrient availability (+) and warmth (+) gradients, more acute in broadleaves than in conifers only for water availability. At the scale of the whole French forests, intraspecific variations in wood density do not affect BR estimations along these gradients. BR variations are mainly driven by the tree stand species composition along them.

Exploring the inclusion of Sentinel-2 MSI texture metrics in above-ground biomass estimation in the community forest of Nepal / Santa Pandit in Geocarto international, vol 35 n° 16 ([01/12/2020])

Texture metrics were derived based on different working window sizes (3 × 3, 5 × 5, 7 × 7 and 9 × 9), and the results were compared with those obtained, using raw traditional bands (Analysis set 1: 2, 3, 4, 8, 11 and 12), raw traditional and red edge bands (Analysis set 2: Set 1 + Band 5, 6, 7 and 8A), and red edge bands (Analysis set 3) only. Comparatively, the use of pooled data (texture and VIs) yielded higher biomass estimates. The results from pooled data based on the 7 × 7 window size resulted in models with better model fitting parameters. For instance, pooled data produced an R2 = 0.99 and a RMSE = 4.51 t ha−1 (relRMSE = 2.82). Further, the RF model selected dissimilarity, variance and mean from Band 2 and SAVI (Soil adjusted vegetation index) as the most important AGB predictor variables. The results demonstrated that like the red-edge bands, traditional bands were equally important in AGB estimation.

Improving aboveground biomass estimates by taking into account density variations between tree components / Antoine Billard in Annals of Forest Science [en ligne], vol 77 n° 4 (December 2020)

The difference, up to 40% depending on the component, should be taken into account when estimating the biomass available for industrial uses, mainly fuelwood and wood for chemistry. Context: Basic density is a major variable in the calculation of tree biomass. However, it is usually measured on stem wood only and at breast height. Aims: The objectives of this study were to compare basic density of stem wood at 1.30 m with other tree components and assess the impact of differences on biomass. Methods: Three softwood species were studied: Abies alba Mill., Picea abies (L.) H. Karst., Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco. X-Ray computed tomography was used to measure density. Results: Large differences were observed between components. Basic density of components was little influenced by tree size and stand density. Overall, bark, knot and branch biomasses were highly underestimated by using basic density measured at 1.30 m. Conclusion: Using available wood density databases mainly based on breast height measurements would lead to important biases (up to more than 40%) on biomass estimates for some tree components. Further work is necessary to complete available databases.

Ground-based remote sensing of forests exploiting GNSS signals / Leila Guerriero in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 58 n° 10 (October 2020)

Both active and passive microwave sensors can significantly contribute to this goal because of their high sensitivity to water content and high penetration at lower frequencies (L-/P-bands). In particular, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) are recently receiving increasing interest as source of opportunity to be employed as illuminator for L-band remote sensing, since they could provide low-cost sensors for nondestructive forest biomass estimation over large areas. In this article, we suggest a method to extract forest information using the GNSS direct signals collected in clear sky and below the vegetation canopy at both circular polarizations. An experimental campaign, carried out in the framework of an European Space Agency (ESA) project, was conducted over three poplar forests with different biomass to verify the feasibility of this technique. The relationships between the GNSS measurements and the tree parameters were first assessed and then interpreted and supported by statistical analysis and a theoretical model. The signal collected under the canopy is affected by attenuation and depolarization with respect to the one collected in open air, and this article demonstrated that both direct line-of-sight propagation and volume scattering play a role in the signal magnitude and its fluctuation in time. Although the experimental data set is limited in size and environmental conditions, two inversion algorithms were also tested with the encouraging retrieval results.
