Characterizing vegetation dynamics at landscape to regional scale requires both a high level of spatial detail (resolution), generally obtained through precise field measurements, and a sufficient coverage of the land surface (extent) provided by satellite images. The difficulty usually lies between these two scales as both signal saturation from satellite data and ground sampling limitations contribute to inaccurate extrapolations. Airborne laser scanning (ALS) data has revolutionized the trade-off between spatial detail and landscape coverage as it gives accurate information of the vegetation’s structure over large areas which can be used to calibrate satellite data. Also recent satellite data of improved spectral and spatial resolutions (Sentinel 2) allow for detailed characterizations of compositional gradients in the vegetation, notably in terms of the abundance of broad functional/optical plant types. Another major obstacle comes from the lack of a temporal perspective on dynamics and disturbances. Growing satellite imagery archives over several decades (45 years; Landsat) and available computing facilities such as Google Earth Engine (GEE) provide new possibilities to track long term successional trajectories and detect significant disturbances (i.e. fire) at a fine spatial detail (30m) and relate them to the current structure and composition of the vegetation. With these game changing tools our objective was to track long-term dynamics of forest-savanna ecotone in the Guineo-Congolian transition area of the Central Region of Cameroon with induced changes in the vegetatio structure and composition within two contrasted scenarios of anthropogenic pressures: 1) the Nachtigal area which is targeted for the dam construction and subject to intense agricultural activities and 2) the Mpem et Djim National Park (MDNP) which has no management plan. The maximum likelihood classification of the Spot 6/7 image aided with the information from the canopy height derived from ALS data discriminated the vegetation types within the Nachtigal area with good accuracy (96.5%). Using field plots data in upscaling aboveground biomass (AGB) form field plots estimates to the satellite estimates with model-based approaches lead to a systematic overestimation in AGB density estimates and a root mean squared prediction error (RMSPE) of up to 65 Mg.ha−1 (90%), whereas calibration with ALS data (AGBALS) lead to low bias and a drop of ~30% in RMSPE (down to 43 Mg.ha−1, 58%) with little effect of the satellite sensor used. However, these results also confirm that, whatever the spectral indices used and attention paid to sensor quality and pre-processing, the signal is not sufficient to warrant accurate pixel wise predictions, because of large relative RMSPE, especially above (200–250 Mg.ha−1). The design-based approach, for which average AGB density values were attributed to mapped land cover classes, proved to be a simple and reliable alternative (for landscape to region level estimations), when trained with dense ALS samples. AGB and species diversity measured within 74 field inventory plots (distributed along a savanna to forest successional gradient) were higher for the vegetation located in the MDNP compared to their pairs in the Nachtigal area. The automated unsupervised long-term (45 years) land cover change monitoring from Landsat image archives based on GEE captured a consistent and regular pattern of forest progression into savanna at an average rate of 1% (ca. 6 km².year-1). No fire occurrence was captured for savanna that transited to forest within five years of monitoring. Distinct assemblages of spectral species are apparent in forest vegetation which is consistent with the age of transition. As forest gets older AGBALS recovers at a rate of 4.3 Mg.ha-1.year-1 in young forest stands ( Note de contenu : Chapter 1. Generalities

[Vedettes matières IGN] Végétation et changement climatiqueRésumé : (auteur) Key message: Climate-warming related replacement of beech by oak forests in the course of natural forest succession or silvicultural decisions may considerably reduce ecosystem carbon storage of central European woodlands.
Context: Climate warming may change the carbon (C) storage in forest biomass and soil through future shifts in tree species composition. With a projected warming by 2–3 K over the twenty-first century, silvicultural adaptation measures and natural succession might lead to the replacement of European beech forests by thermophilic oak forests in drought- and heat-affected regions of central and south-eastern Europe, but the consequences for ecosystem C storage of this species shift are not clear.
Aims: To quantify the change in C storage in biomass and soil with a shift from beech (Fagus sylvatica) to oak forest (Quercus petraea, Q. frainetto, Q. cerris), we measured the aboveground biomass (AGC) and soil C pools (SOC).
Methods: AGC pools and SOC stocks to − 100 cm depth were calculated from forest inventory and volume-related SOC content data for beech, mixed beech-oak and oak forests in three transects in the natural beech-oak ecotone of western Romania, where beech occurs at its heat- and drought-induced distribution limit.
Results: From the cooler, more humid beech forests to the warmer, more xeric oak forests, which are 1–2 K warmer, AGC and SOC pools decreased by about 22% (40 Mg C ha−1) and 20% (17 Mg C ha−1), respectively. The likely main drivers are indirect temperature effects acting through tree species and management in the case of AGC, but direct temperature effects for SOC.
Conclusion : If drought- and heat-affected beech forests in Central Europe are replaced by thermophilic oak forests in future, this will lead to carbon losses of ~ 50–60 Mg ha−1, thus reducing ecosystem carbon storage substantially.Numéro de notice : A2021-766 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : FORET Nature : Article nature-HAL : ArtAvecCL-RevueIntern DOI : 10.1007/s13595-021-01081-0 Date de publication en ligne : 15/10/2021 En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1007/s13595-021-01081-0 Format de la ressource électronique : URL article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=98812

[Termes IGN] toundraRésumé : (auteur) Northern protected areas guard against habitat and species loss but are themselves highly vulnerable to environmental change due to their fixed spatial boundaries. In the low Arctic, Torngat Mountains National Park (TMNP) of Canada, widespread greening has recently occurred alongside warming temperatures and regional declines in caribou. Little is known, however, about how biophysical controls mediate plant responses to climate warming, and available observational data are limited in temporal and spatial scope. In this study, we investigated the drivers of land cover change for the 9700 km2 extent of the park using satellite remote sensing and geostatistical modelling. Random forest classification was used to hindcast and simulate land cover change for four different land cover types from 1985 to 2019 with topographic and surface reflectance imagery (Landsat archive). The resulting land cover maps, in addition to topographic and biotic variables, were then used to predict where future shrub expansion is likely to occur using a binomial regression framework. Land cover hindcasts showed a 235% increase in shrub and a 105% increase in wet vegetation cover from 1985/89 to 2015/19. Shrub cover was highly persistent and displaced wet vegetation in southern, low-elevation areas, whereas wet vegetation expanded to formerly dry, mid-elevations. The predictive model identified both biotic (initial cover class, number of surrounding shrub neighbors), and topographic variables (elevation, latitude, and distance to the coast) as strong predictors of future shrub expansion. A further 51% increase in shrub cover is expected by 2039/43 relative to 2014 reference data. Establishing long-term monitoring plots within TMNP in areas where rapid vegetation change is predicted to occur will help to validate remote sensing observations and will improve our understanding of the consequences of change for biotic and abiotic components of the tundra ecosystem, including important cultural keystone species.

[Vedettes matières IGN] Végétation et changement climatiqueRésumé : (auteur) Key message: Species interactions implicate a complex balance of facilitation and competition, which may shift during community development, thus structuring the subalpine ecotone of Mediterranean mountain ranges through time and space. This study highlights that encroachment of grasslands and simultaneous downward/upward movement of forest tree species involve species interferences and environmental feedbacks, with differential effects on mountain pine and European beech, and the grassland communities of the Majella Massif.
Context: The transitional ecotone from the European beech closed forest to the mountain pine krummholz vegetation in the Majella Massif (Apennines, Italy) is a sensitive area to climate and land-use changes. Vegetation shifts in these ecotonal zones may cause a negative impact on the spatial distribution and survival of rare or endemic herbaceous species, thus influencing the appearance, structure, and productivity of the subalpine ecotone of the Majella National Park.
Aims: We focused on determining the structures and dynamics of this Mediterranean tree line, and the climate–growth relationships of European beech and mountain pine. We investigated the upward and downward movement of pine into areas potentially suitable for beech expansion, and the concurrent beech encroachment upward.
Methods: Growth dynamics and canopy cover of European beech closed forest and mountain pine krummholz vegetation were analyzed in relation to disturbances at four different sites.
Results: Spring and summer temperatures and summer precipitation affected stem radial growth of both species. In details, spring and summer temperatures negatively affected tree ring width (TRW) of European beech, except for the highest site, whereas spring temperatures affected positively and summer temperatures negatively TRW of mountain pine. Mountain pine expanded upward, encroaching formerly grazed pastures and harvested areas, especially where the soil is shallow and rocky; downward expansion is also occurring, following progressive abandonment of forest management practices. At the same time, European beech recruitment is moving upward, interspersed within mountain pine krummholz, taking advantage from canopy shelter and higher temperature.
Conclusion: Climate and land-cover simultaneous changes induce species interactions and a complex balance of facilitation and competition, which may shift during community development and structure the subalpine European beech-mountain pine ecotone of the Majella Massif through time and space.Numéro de notice : A2020-357 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : FORET Nature : Article nature-HAL : ArtAvecCL-RevueIntern DOI : 10.1007/s13595-020-00964-y Date de publication en ligne : 17/06/2020 En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1007/s13595-020-00964-y Format de la ressource électronique : url article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=95257

[Vedettes matières IGN] Végétation et changement climatiqueRésumé : (auteur) The fate of peripheral forest tree populations is of particular interest in the context of climate change. These populations may concurrently be those where the most significant evolutionary changes will occur; those most facing increasing extinction risk; the source of migrants for the colonization of new areas at leading edges; or the source of genetic novelty for reinforcing standing genetic variation in various parts of the range. Deciding which strategy to implement for conserving and sustainably using the genetic resources of peripheral forest tree populations is a challenge.
Here, we review the genetic and ecological processes acting on different types of peripheral populations and indicate why these processes may be of general interest for adapting forests and forest management to climate change. We particularly focus on peripheral populations at the rear edge of species distributions where environmental challenges are or will become most acute. We argue that peripheral forest tree populations are “natural laboratories” for resolving priority research questions such as how the complex interaction between demographic processes and natural selection shape local adaptation; and whether genetic adaptation will be sufficient to allow the long-term persistence of species within their current distribution.
Peripheral populations are key assets for adaptive forestry which need specific measures for their preservation. The traditionally opposing views which may exist between conservation planning and sustainable forestry need to be reconciled and harmonized for managing peripheral populations. Based on existing knowledge, we suggest approaches and principles which may be used for the management and conservation of these distinctive and valuable populations, to maintain active genetic and ecological processes that have sustained them over time.Numéro de notice : A2016-709 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : FORET Nature : Article DOI : 10.1016/j.foreco.2016.05.015 En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foreco.2016.05.015 Format de la ressource électronique : URL article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=82083
