Although there are a number of genetic studies concerning the distribution of genetic diversity of Abies alba in Europe, populations from the south-eastern limit of the distribution range have been studied less. The aim of the present study was to assess the genetic diversity and differentiation in 36 silver fir populations along the Carpathian Mountains in Romania, using seven microsatellites loci. High levels of genetic diversity (He = 0.779 to 0.834 and AR = 11.61 to 14.93) were found in all populations. Eastern Carpathians populations show higher levels of diversity, both in allelic richness and expected heterozygosity and higher degrees of genetic differentiation compared to southern populations. Bayesian clustering analysis revealed the existence of two genetically distinct groups for silver fir populations, one larger cluster which comprises the Inner Eastern Carpathians, Curvature Carpathians, South Carpathians and the Banat Mountains and the second cluster contained most of the North and Outer Eastern Carpathians population. Both AMOVA and Barrier analysis supported genetic differentiation among geographical provenance regions. The high genetic diversity of silver fir populations from the eastern limit of its distribution provide high potential to mitigate the negative effects of climate warming being valuable genetic resources in the context of global change. The distribution pattern of genetic variation at local, regional and country scale could and should be considered for the preservation of the forest genetic resources.

Aims : To provide a comprehensive set of tree- and stand-level models for A. alba biomass and carbon stock. We hypothesized that (among tree stand characteristics) volume will be the best predictor of tree stand biomass. Methods : We studied a chronosequence of 12 A. alba tree stands in southern Poland (8–115 years old). We measured tree stand structures, and we destructively sampled aboveground biomass of 96 sample trees (0.0–63.9 cm diameter at breast height). We provided tree-level models, biomass conversion and expansion factors (BCEFs) and biomass models based on forest stand characteristics. Results : We developed general and site-specific tree-level biomass models. For stand-level models, we found that the best predictor of biomass was stand volume, while the worst were stand basal area and density. Conclusion : Our models performed better than other published models, allowing for more reliable biomass predictions. Models based on volume are useful in biomass predictions and may be used in large-scale inventories.

Is tree age or tree size reducing height increment in Abies alba Mill. at its southernmost distribution limit? / Pasquale A. Marziliano in Annals of Forest Science [en ligne], vol 76 n° 1 (March 2019)  

Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science [en ligne] > vol 76 n° 1 (March 2019) Titre : Is tree age or tree size reducing height increment in Abies alba Mill. at its southernmost distribution limit? Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Pasquale A.

Conversely, size, rather than age, should be accounted for the observed senescence-related declines in relative growth rate and, consequently, implemented in silvicultural manuals. Results stem from a study on Abies alba Mill. at its southern limit of distribution. Context : Many factors limit height increment when age and size increase in large-statured tree species. Height–diameter allometric relationships are commonly used measures of tree growth. Aims : In this study, we tested if tree age was the main factor affecting the reduction in height increment of silver fir trees (Abies alba Mill.), verifying also whether tree size had a significant role in ecophysiological-biomechanical limitations to tree growth. Methods : The study was carried out in a silver fir forest located in Southern Italy, at the southernmost distribution limit for this species. Through a stratified random sampling, 100 trees were selected. All the selected trees were then felled and the total tree height, height increments (internode distances), diameter at breast height, and diameter increments (ring widths) were measured. Results : The analyses of allometric models and scaling coefficients showed that the correlation between tree age and height increment was not always significant. Conclusion : We may conclude that tree age did not statistically explain the decrease in height increment in older trees. Instead, the increase in tree size and related physiological processes (expressed as product between diameter at breast height and tree height) explained the reduction in height increment in older trees and was the main factor limiting height growth trends in marginal population of silver fir.

Patterns of tree diameter distributions in managed and unmanaged Abies alba Mill. and Fagus sylvatica L. forest patches / Rafał Podlaski in Forest ecology and management, vol 435 (1 March 2019)

Forests with Abies alba Mill. and Fagus sylvatica L. can be composed of one-, two-, and multi-storied patches and selection patches. A dominant view in forest ecology is that unmanaged forests tend to have greater structural heterogeneity than managed stands. Structural integrity, however, may differ among forest developmental stages. The main objective of this study was to compare the tree diameter complexity in managed and unmanaged patches during the early developmental stage. Data were collected between 2016 and 2018 in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains in Central Europe. The investigated tree communities were dominated by A. alba and F. sylvatica. Sample plots representing the growing-up developmental stage were randomly selected; of these, 30 plots were in managed stands, and 30 plots were in unmanaged forests. The diameter at breast height (DBH) distribution patterns were determined using hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), clustering indices, and finite mixture models. Three main DBH distribution patterns were identified for the managed stands (K-A, K-B, and K-C). These patterns consisted of three or two sub-populations. The patterns represented structurally diversified patches composed of trees of all ages with multi-, three- or two-layered canopies and with intensive natural processes of regeneration. Two main DBH distribution patterns were identified for the unmanaged forests (S-A, and S-B). These patterns consisted of two clearly separated sub-populations. They are typical in patches with two-layered canopies, and the trees from the upper layer had a large share (40–60%). The distinguished DBH distribution patterns indicated there was greater tree size diversity in the managed stands than in the unmanaged forests. When comparing managed versus unmanaged patches, it is important to consider the developmental stage.

Processes of tree mortality that are not induced by natural disturbances are often reflected in distinct radial growth patterns of trees, which typically serve as reliable indicators of impending tree mortality. However, it remains unclear whether empirical mortality models that are based on tree size and growth result in more realistic projections of forest succession in dynamic vegetation models (DVMs). We used a combination of tree-ring and inventory data from unmanaged Swiss natural forest reserves to derive species-specific survival models for six Central European tree species (Abies alba, Fagus sylvatica, Larix decidua, Picea abies, Pinus cembra and Quercus spp.). We jointly used 528 tree-ring samples and inventory data from eight forest reserves. We implemented the estimated parameters of the survival models into the DVM ForClim and performed simulations of forest succession that were validated using the inventory data of the forest reserves. Size- and growth-dependent variables (i.e., diameter at breast height and mean ring width) over the last few years prior to tree death were reliable predictors to distinguish between dying and living trees. Very low mean ring widths over several preceding years as well as small and large trees, respectively, reflected low survival probabilities. However, the small sample sizes of small and large trees resulted in considerable uncertainty of the survival probabilities. The implementation of these survival models in ForClim yielded plausible projections in short-term simulations and for some sites improved the predictions compared to the current ForClim version. Stand basal area, however, tended to be overestimated. Long-term simulations of ForClim based on the empirical survival models resulted in realistic predictions only if the uncertainty of the predicted survival probabilities was considered. We conclude that the combination of different data sources in combination with the consideration of intra-specific trait variability yields robust predictions of tree survival probabilities, thus paving the way towards better tree mortality models and more reliable projections of future forest dynamics.
