Results show the potential to use structural attributes as a surrogate for species richness of most of the analyzed taxonomic and functional groups. This information can be transferred to large-scale forest inventories to support biodiversity monitoring. Context: We are currently facing a dramatic loss in biodiversity worldwide and this initiated many monitoring programs aiming at documenting further trends. However, monitoring species diversity directly is very resource demanding, in particular in highly diverse forest ecosystems. Aims: We investigated whether variables applied in an index of stand structural diversity, which was developed based on forest attributes assessed in the German National Forest Inventory, can be calibrated against richness of forest-dwelling species within a wide range of taxonomic and functional groups. Methods: We used information on forest structure and species richness that has been comprehensively assessed on 150 forest plots of the German biodiversity exploratories project, comprising a large range of management intensities in three regions. We tested, whether the forest structure index calculated for these forest plots well correlate with the number of species across 29 taxonomic and functional groups, assuming that the structural attributes applied in the index represent their habitat requirements. Results: The strength of correlations between the structural variables applied in the index and number of species within taxonomic or functional groups was highly variable. For some groups such as Aves, Formicidae or vascular plants, structural variables had a high explanatory power for species richness across forest types. Species richness in other taxonomic and functional groups (e.g., soil and root-associated fungi) was not explained by individual structural attributes of the index. Results indicate that some taxonomic and functional groups depend on a high structural diversity, whereas others seem to be insensitive to it or even prefer structurally poor stands. Conclusion: Therefore, combinations of forest stands with different degrees of structural diversity most likely optimize taxonomic diversity at the landscape level. Our results can support biodiversity monitoring through quantification of forest structure in large-scale forest inventories. Changes in structural variables over inventory periods can indicate changes in habitat quality for individual taxonomic groups and thus points towards national forest inventories being an effective tool to detect unintended effects of changes in forest management on biodiversity.

Keeping thinning-derived deadwood logs on forest floor improves soil organic carbon, microbial biomass, and enzyme activity in a temperate spruce forest / Meisam Nazari in European Journal of Forest Research, vol 142 n° 2 (April 2023)  

Public [article]  inEuropean Journal of Forest Research > vol 142 n° 2 (April 2023) . - pp 287 - 300 Titre : Keeping thinning-derived deadwood logs on forest floor improves soil organic carbon, microbial biomass, and enzyme activity in a temperate spruce forest Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Meisam Nazari, Auteur ; Johanna Pausch, Auteur ; Samuel Bickel, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : pp 287 - 300 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] Bavière (Allemagne) [Termes IGN] biomasse forestière [Termes IGN] bois mort [Termes IGN] éclaircie (sylviculture) [Termes IGN] gestion forestière durable [Termes IGN] grume [Termes IGN] podzosol [Termes IGN] puits de carbone [Termes IGN] sol forestier [Vedettes matières IGN] Sylviculture Résumé : (auteur) Deadwood is a key component of forest ecosystems, but there is limited information on how it influences forest soils. Moreover, studies on the effect of thinning-derived deadwood logs on forest soil properties are lacking. This study aimed to investigate the impact of thinning-derived deadwood logs on the soil chemical and microbial properties of a managed spruce forest on a loamy sand Podzol in Bavaria, Germany, after about 15 years. Deadwood increased the soil organic carbon contents by 59% and 56% at 0–4 cm and 8–12 cm depths, respectively. Under deadwood, the soil dissolved organic carbon and carbon to nitrogen ratio increased by 66% and 15% at 0–4 cm depth and by 55% and 28% at 8–12 cm depth, respectively. Deadwood also induced 71% and 92% higher microbial biomass carbon, 106% and 125% higher microbial biomass nitrogen, and 136% and 44% higher β-glucosidase activity in the soil at 0–4 cm and 8–12 cm depths, respectively. Many of the measured variables significantly correlated with soil organic carbon suggesting that deadwood modified the soil biochemical processes by altering soil carbon storage. Our results indicate the potential of thinned spruce deadwood logs to sequester carbon and improve the fertility of Podzol soils. This could be associated with the slow decay rate of spruce deadwood logs and low biological activity of Podzols that promote the accumulation of soil carbon. We propose that leaving thinning-derived deadwood on the forest floor can support soil and forest sustainability as well as carbon sequestration.

Management of birch spruce mixed stands with consideration of carbon stock in biomass and harvested wood products / Jānis Vuguls in Forests, vol 14 n° 1 (January 2023)  

Public [article]  inForests > vol 14 n° 1 (January 2023) . - n° 57 Titre : Management of birch spruce mixed stands with consideration of carbon stock in biomass and harvested wood products Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Jānis Vuguls, Auteur ; Stefanija Dubra, Auteur ; Anete Garanca, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 57 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] Betula (genre) [Termes IGN] bilan du carbone [Termes IGN] biomasse forestière [Termes IGN] changement climatique [Termes IGN] gestion forestière durable [Termes IGN] peuplement mélangé [Termes IGN] Picea abies [Termes IGN] plante ligneuse [Termes IGN] puits de carbone [Vedettes matières IGN] Végétation et changement climatique Résumé : (auteur) Forests play an important role in climate change mitigation. Usage of harvested wood products (HWP) can extend the carbon cycle by retaining carbon as well as preventing new fossil emission via substitution. We compared carbon balance of different management strategies of birch spruce mixed stands over an eight-year period: unmanaged, representing a decision of prolonged rotation, and managed, representing a decision of final harvest of birch and retention of spruce for continuous forest cover and regeneration harvest. Management resulted in a higher contribution of mixed stands to climate change mitigation, if the carbon stock (CS) in biomass as well carbon balance (CB) of wood product is jointly considered in comparison to no management (prolonged rotation). Assortment structure plays an important role in CB of HWP, therefore a practice ensuring higher outcome of longer-lasting wood products are beneficial to climate change mitigation.

Public [article]  iniForest, biogeosciences and forestry > vol 15 n° 6 (December 2022) . - pp 451-457 Titre : Above ground biomass estimation from UAV high resolution RGB images and LiDAR data in a pine forest in Southern Italy Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Mauro Maesano, Auteur ; Giovanni Santopuoli, Auteur ; Federico Valerio Moresi, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 451-457 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications photogrammétriques [Termes IGN] apprentissage automatique [Termes IGN] biomasse aérienne [Termes IGN] Calabre [Termes IGN] classification par forêts d'arbres décisionnels [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] gestion forestière durable [Termes IGN] image captée par drone [Termes IGN] image RVB [Termes IGN] modèle numérique de surface de la canopée [Termes IGN] régression [Termes IGN] semis de points [Termes IGN] structure-from-motion Résumé : (auteur) Knowledge of forest biomass is an essential parameter for managing the forest in a sustainable way, as forest biomass data availability and reliability are necessary for forestry and forest planning, but also for the carbon market as well as to support the local economy in the mountain and inner areas. However, the accurate quantification of the above-ground biomass (AGB) is still a challenge both at the local and global levels. The use of remote sensing techniques with Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platforms can be an excellent trade-off between resolution, scale, and frequency data of AGB estimation. In this study, we evaluated the combined use of RGB images from UAV, LiDAR data and ground truth data to estimate AGB in a forested watershed in Southern Italy. A low-cost AGB estimation method was adopted using a commercial fixed-wing drone equipped with an RGB camera, combined with the canopy information derived by LiDAR and validated by field data. Two modelling methods (stepwise regression, SR and random forest, RF) were used to estimate forest AGB. The output was an accurate maps of AGB for each model. The RF model showed better accuracy than the Steplm model, and the R2 increased from 0.81 to 0.86, and the RMSE and MAE values were decreased from 45.5 to 31.7 Mg ha-1 and from 34.2 to 22.1 Mg ha-1 respectively. We demonstrated that by increasing the computing efficiency through a machine learning algorithm, readily available images can be used to obtain satisfactory results, as proven by the accuracy of the Random forest above biomass estimation model.

Climate envelope analyses suggests significant rearrangements in the distribution ranges of Central European tree species / Gàbor Illés in Annals of Forest Science, vol 79 n° 1 (2022)  

Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science > vol 79 n° 1 (2022) . - n° 35 Titre : Climate envelope analyses suggests significant rearrangements in the distribution ranges of Central European tree species Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Gàbor Illés, Auteur ; Norbert Móricz, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 35 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] adaptation (biologie) [Termes IGN] bioclimatologie [Termes IGN] classification par forêts d'arbres décisionnels [Termes IGN] Europe centrale [Termes IGN] Fagus sylvatica [Termes IGN] gestion forestière durable [Termes IGN] INSPIRE [Termes IGN] modèle dynamique [Termes IGN] modélisation de la forêt [Termes IGN] Picea abies [Termes IGN] Quercus cerris [Termes IGN] Quercus pubescens [Termes IGN] Quercus sessiliflora [Termes IGN] répartition géographique [Vedettes matières IGN] Végétation et changement climatique Résumé : (auteur) Key message: Climate envelope analysis of nine tree species shows that Fagus sylvatica L. and Picea abies H. Karst could lose 58% and 40% of their current distribution range. Quercus pubescens Willd and Quercus cerris L. may win areas equal with 47% and 43% of their current ranges. The ratio of poorly predictable areas increases by 105% in southern and south-eastern Europe. Context: Climate change requires adaptive forest management implementations. To achieve climate neutrality, we have to maintain and expand forest areas. Impact assessments have great importance. Aims: The study estimates the potential climate envelopes of nine European tree species for a past period (1961–1990) and for three future periods (2011–2040, 2041–2070, 2071–2100) under two emission scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) based on the current species distribution. Methods: Climate envelopes were estimated simultaneously using the random forest method. Multi-resolution segmentation was used to determine the climatic characteristics of each species and their combinations. Models were limited to the geographical area within which the climatic conditions correspond to the climatic range of the training areas. Results: Results showed remarkable changes in the extent of geographic areas of all the investigated species’ climate envelopes. Many of the tree species of Central Europe could lose significant portions of their distribution range. Adhering to the shift in climate, these tree species shift further north as well as towards higher altitudes. Conclusion: European forests face remarkable changes, and the results support climate envelope modelling as an important tool that provides guidelines for climate adaptation to identify threatened areas or to select source and destination areas for reproductive material.
