However, the factors driving cavity excavation by the Black woodpecker at the tree scale remain poorly known. We analyzed the characteristics of trees bearing Black Woodpecker cavities to assess the bird's local habitat requirements and their conservation potential as habitat trees. We compared the traits and characteristics of trees bearing Black Woodpecker cavities (n = 60) and control trees (n = 56) in two managed lowland broadleave-dominated forests in France. We hypothesized that: (i) Cavity-trees would have lower wood density and display more conks of fungi than control-trees; (ii) The local environment of cavity-trees would be less crowded than those of the control trees. In particular, the first branch would be higher up, and their first neighboring tree would be further away from cavity-trees compared to control-trees; (iii) Cavity-trees would display a higher number of other woodpecker cavities and more saproxylic microhabitats than the control-trees. We validated most of our hypotheses and showed that cavity trees differed significantly from their control counterparts. Black Woodpeckers excavate trees with softer wood and higher first branches in a less crowded environment, thus minimizing both the energy dedicated to cavity excavation and predation risk. Second, cavity-trees bear more microhabitats and play a complementary umbrella role than what was documented before. They also appear a good candidate for habitat-tree conservation. In terms of biodiversity-friendly management measures, it would be beneficial to favor large isolated standing trees devoid of low branches (notably beech), especially in stands dominated by other tree species.

Un bilan des modalités d’évaluation de l’état de conservation des habitats forestiers dans 399 sites Natura 2000 / Damien Marage in Revue forestière française [en ligne], Vol 71 n° 2 (2019)

L’analyse a révélé en premier lieu l’extrême diversité des qualificatifs employés pour évaluer l’état de conservation. Sur les 399 documents d’objectifs analysés en 2011, 29% ne font état d’aucune méthode tandis que 29% des documents d’objectifs approuvés ont eu recours à une méthode d’évaluation. La date de réalisation des documents d’objectifs a un effet significatif sur la méthodologie utilisée pour évaluer l’état de conservation. Pour les documents d’objectifs mentionnant un protocole, l’amélioration des connaissances et du cadrage juridique avec le temps a eu pour effet de faire baisser l’utilisation du dire d’expert au profit de méthodologies plus robustes. À l’échelle des sites, les deux évaluations aboutissent à des résultats statistiquement concordants pour un seul des neuf habitats forestiers testés. Les 399 documents d’objectifs de sites Natura 2000 analysés traitent finalement superficiellement la question de l’évaluation de l’état de conservation des habitats forestiers, ce qui laisse présager des difficultés pour répondre aux obligations de résultats fixés par la mise en oeuvre de la directive Habitats.

With the 92/43/EEC Habitats Directive, the European Commission targeted these habitat types, which conservation must be ensured by Member States. In this context, the Habitat type 9330 “Quercus suber forests” is intended to ensure the conservation of cork oak woodlands in Europe. To support the enhancement of nature conservation policies, in this study we provide a classification of cork oak woodlands in Europe using a large vegetation database. We identify four major groups with clear biogeographic differences and characterize them by lists of indicator species. We also provide distribution maps based on occurrence data and the modelled potential area of distribution as an additional tool for conservation. This study offers a contribution to the comparative description of the European Q. suber woodlands subtypes and to establish a protocol for habitat monitoring and assessment.

Remotely sensed forest habitat structures improve regional species conservation / Christian Reichsteiner in Remote sensing in ecology and conservation, vol 3 n° 4 (December 2017)

In particular, the structure of complex habitats such as forest can be accurately parametrized by an area-wide, LiDAR-based vegetation profile. However, evidence of specific applications of such models in real-world conservation management still remains sparse. Here, we developed a resource selection SDM for hazel grouse (Bonasa bonasia L.) in a Swiss nature park with the aim to map habitat suitability and to inform the park management about habitat improvement measures. We used remote sensing, particularly LiDAR to derive ecologically relevant forest vegetation characteristics at the local scale and used them as predictors in an ensemble SDM approach. The predicted habitat suitability was mainly affected by local, fine grained vegetation structure. Average vegetation height, shrub density and canopy height variation contributed most to the habitat quality for hazel grouse. This clearly shows how LiDAR provides the means to develop ecologically interpretable predictor variables of forest habitat structure and that these predictors can be used to reliably map local-scale habitat quality, indicated by high model performance scores (median AUC of 0.918). This improves spatial conservation planning, and at the same time, provides meaningful information to derive habitat improvement measures that can be implemented in the field by foresters. Hazel grouse occurrence in the park is restricted to a few highly suitable, disjunct habitat patches. Therefore, conservation management should increase the connectivity of suitable habitat with the aim to stimulate an increase and better exchange of individuals in the regional hazel grouse population. Habitat improvements can be achieved by forestry measures that regularly integrate early successional forest stages into production forests. They should contain stands with a shrub density of around 30% as well as heterogeneous stands in terms of vegetation height.

Multi-model estimation of understorey shrub, herb and moss cover in temperate forest stands by laser scanner data / Hooman Latifi in Forestry, an international journal of forest research, vol 90 n° 4 (October 2017)

Here, Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing was investigated as a surrogate to laborious field surveys to improve understanding of the causal and predictive attributes of understorey. We designed a study in which we used a high-density LiDAR point cloud and applied a thinning algorithm to simulate two lower density point clouds including first and last returns and half of the remaining points (half-thinned data) and only first and last returns (F/L-thinned data). From each dataset, several over- and understorey-related statistical metrics were derived. Each of the three sets of LiDAR metrics was then combined with the forest habitat information to estimate the recorded proportions of shrub, herb and moss coverages. We used three different model procedures including zero-and-one-inflated beta regression (ZOINBR), ordinary least squares with logit-transformed response variables (logistic model) and a machine learning random forest (RF) method. The logistic and ZOINBR model results showed highly significant relationships between LiDAR metrics and habitat types in explaining understorey coverage. The highest coefficients of determination included r2 = 0.80 for shrub cover (estimated by F/L-thinned data and ZOINBR model), r2 = 0.53 for herb cover (estimated by half-thinned data and logistic model) and r2 = 0.48 for moss cover (estimated by half-thinned data and logistic model). RF models returned the best predictive performances (i.e. the lowest root mean square errors). Despite slight differences, no substantial difference was observed amongst the performances achieved by the original, half-thinned and F/L-thinned point clouds. Moreover, the ZOINBR models did not improve predictive performances compared with the logistic model, which suggests that the latter should be preferred due to its greater simplicity and parsimony. Despite the differences between our simulated data and the real-world LiDAR point clouds of different point densities, the results of this study are thought to mostly reflect how LiDAR and forest habitat data can be combined for deriving ecologically relevant information on temperate forest understorey vegetation layers. This, in turn, increases the applicability of prediction results for overarching aims such as forest and wildlife management.
