Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science [en ligne] > Vol 77 n° 2 (June 2020) Titre : Decreasing stand density favors resistance, resilience, and recovery of Quercus petraea trees to a severe drought, particularly on dry sites Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Anna Schmitt, Auteur ; Raphaël Trouvé, Auteur ; Ingrid Seynave, Auteur ; François Lebourgeois, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes descripteurs IGN] bilan hydrique [Termes descripteurs IGN] densité de la végétation [Termes descripteurs IGN] peuplement forestier [Termes descripteurs IGN] quercus sessiliflora [Termes descripteurs IGN] résilience [Termes descripteurs IGN] sécheresse [Termes descripteurs IGN] sylviculture [Vedettes matières IGN] Végétation et changement climatique Résumé : (auteur) Key message: Decreasing stand density increases resistance, resilience, and recovery of Quercus petraea trees to severe drought (2003), particularly on dry sites, and the effect was independent of tree social status. Context: Controlling competition is an advocated strategy to modulate the response of trees to predicted changes in climate. Aims: We investigated the effects of stand density (low, medium, high; relative density index 0.20, 0.53, 1.04), social status (dominant, codominant, suppressed), and water balance (dry, mesic, wet; summer water balance − 182, − 126, − 96 mm) on the climate-growth relationships (1997–2012) and resistance (Rt), resilience (Rs), and recovery (Rc) following the 2003 drought. Methods: Basal area increments were collected by coring (269 trees) in young stands (28 ± 7.5 years in 2012) of sessile oak (Quercus petraea) in a French permanent network of silvicultural plots. Results: We showed that the climate-growth relationships depend on average site-level water balance with trees highly dependent on spring and summer droughts on dry and mesic sites and not at all on wet sites. Neither stand density nor social status modulated mean response to climate. Decreasing stand density increased Rt, Rs, and Rc particularly on dry sites. The effect was independent of tree social position within the stand. Conclusion: Reducing stand density mitigates more the effect of extreme drought events on drier sites than on wet sites.

Size-density trajectories for even-aged sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) and common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) stands revealing similarities and differences in the mortality process / François Ningre in Annals of Forest Science [en ligne], Vol 76 n° 3 (September 2019)  

Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science [en ligne] > Vol 76 n° 3 (September 2019) Titre : Size-density trajectories for even-aged sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) and common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) stands revealing similarities and differences in the mortality process Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : François Ningre, Auteur ; Jean-Marc Ottorini, Auteur ; Noël Le Goff, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes descripteurs IGN] analyse comparative [Termes descripteurs IGN] croissance végétale [Termes descripteurs IGN] densité du bois [Termes descripteurs IGN] diamètre à hauteur de poitrine [Termes descripteurs IGN] diamètre des arbres [Termes descripteurs IGN] Fagus sylvatica [Termes descripteurs IGN] gestion forestière durable [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle de croissance [Termes descripteurs IGN] mortalité [Termes descripteurs IGN] quercus sessiliflora [Vedettes matières IGN] Sylviculture Résumé : (auteur) Key message: We studied the size-density trajectories of pure even-aged unthinned experimental sessile oak ( Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) stands in the ranges of 994–135,555 trees per hectare initial densities, observed from the ages of 5 to 38. We compared them to unthinned beech ( Fagus sylvatica L.) stands from the same experimental area. An original piecewise polynomial function was fitted to the trajectories, giving way to various applications. For each species, the initial number of trees per hectare ( N 0 ) and the mean girth at breast height at the onset of mortality (Cg 0 ) were parameters of the trajectory model, in addition to the parameters of the maximum size-density lines. The two former parameters (Cg 0, N 0 ) were tied by a linear relationship, which allowed the prediction of trajectories for initial densities not included in the study data. For oak and beech, mortality onset occurred at a constant relative density (RDI), for all initial stand densities, respectively, 0.35 and 0.29. The comparison of the size-density trajectories of oak and beech allowed to establish that oak needs more space than beech for comparable mean girth, and then is less efficient than beech in its space requirements. Context: This paper models the size-density trajectories of pure even-aged sessile oak stands, including the early development stage. It compares the oak results with those on common beech on the same site from a previous study. Aims: A novel approach to size-density trajectories, with an original polynomial piecewise function previously used for beech stands on the same site, was satisfactorily used again as a mortality model to provide references to managers of oak forests. Material and methods: A 38-year-old oak spacing trial, re-measured from year 5 to year 38, provided the opportunity to study the size-density trajectories of unthinned stands of this species. Results: The fit of the piecewise polynomial function allowed us to estimate the parameters of the size-density trajectories of all stands, which were the initial number of trees per hectare (N0) and the mean girth at breast height at the onset of mortality (Cg0), in addition to the intercept (a) and slope (b) of the maximum size-density line. A linear relationship between Ln(N0) and Ln(Cg0) (where Ln is the Neperian logarithm) allowed us to reduce the number of parameters needed to fit the trajectories and made it possible to predict a size-density trajectory from any initial density not observed in the experimental stands. Moreover, this later line appeared to be parallel to the maximum size-density line, and new data allowed to establish that this was also the case for the beech stands on the same site. This parallelism feature translates to the onset of mortality occurring at the same relative density for stands of every initial density that is 0.35 for oak and 0.29 for beech. Conclusion: Given the parameters of the maximum size-density line, a single-parameter function family could be used to predict the size-density trajectories of oak stands. The predicted trajectories have various applications in oak silviculture and growth simulators. The oak data and new data for beech stands on the same site allowed to compare the two species and draw conclusions on similitudes and differences concerning mortality and space requirements of both species.

These methods rely on the combination of inventory data and auxiliary information correlated with forest attributes of interest. As these methods have been predominantly tested over coniferous forests, the present study used this approach for heterogeneous and complex deciduous forests in the center of France. The auxiliary data considered included a forest type map, Landsat 8 spectral bands and derived vegetation indexes, and 3D variables derived from photogrammetric canopy height models. On a subset area, changes in canopy height estimated from two successive photogrammetric models were also used. A model-assisted inference framework, using a k nearest-neighbors approach, was used to predict 11 field inventory variables simultaneously. The results showed that among the auxiliary variables tested, 3D metrics improved the precision of dendrometric estimates more than other auxiliary variables. Relative efficiencies (RE) varying from 2.15 for volume to 1.04 for stand density were obtained using all auxiliary variables. Canopy height changes also increased RE from 3% to 26%. Our results confirmed the importance of 3D metrics as auxiliary variables and demonstrated the value of canopy change variables for increasing the precision of estimates of forest structural attributes such as density and quadratic mean diameter.

When do dendrometric rules fail? Insights from 20 years of experimental thinnings on sessile oak in the GIS Coop network / Raphaël Trouvé in Forest ecology and management, vol 433 (15 February 2019)  

Public [article]  inForest ecology and management > vol 433 (15 February 2019) . - pp 276-286 Titre : When do dendrometric rules fail? Insights from 20 years of experimental thinnings on sessile oak in the GIS Coop network Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Raphaël Trouvé, Auteur ; Jean-Daniel Bontemps , Auteur ; Catherine Collet, Auteur ; Ingrid Seynave, Auteur ; François Lebourgeois, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Projets : ORACLE Changements Environnementaux Planétaires & Sociétés (CEP&S) / Article en page(s) : pp 276-286 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes descripteurs IGN] croissance végétale [Termes descripteurs IGN] dendrométrie [Termes descripteurs IGN] densité de la végétation [Termes descripteurs IGN] productivité [Termes descripteurs IGN] quercus sessiliflora [Vedettes matières IGN] Végétation et changement climatique Résumé : (auteur) Context : Lowering stand density has been suggested to adapt forests to warmer and drier conditions. Whether common dendrometric rules used to guide growth models and support silviculture are still valid at these densities lower than usual needs be tested. This includes (1) estimating the stand growth-density relationship over wider density gradients (‘Langsaeter’s rule’), (2) testing the stability of site index, and (3) ‘Eichhorn’s rule’ (relating site index to stand growth) at lower densities. Additionally, environmental changes call for a more direct inclusion of environmental drivers in growth models. Material and methods : We investigated the effects of relative stand density (RDI) on stand growth of even-aged stands of sessile oak. We also analyzed effects of climatic conditions to assess whether sessile oak is already at a critical stage that requires adapting forest management. We used a network of silvicultural trials designed to test the effects of maximum density gradients on stand dynamics along climatic gradients. Results : As predicted by Langsaeter’s rule, gross stand growth increased with RDI then saturated for RDI > 0.4–0.5, mortality began after crown closure, and diameter increment decreased non-linearly with RDI. Dominant height growth first increased with RDI then saturated for RDI > 0.8. Positive effects of RDI on both stand and height growth caused Eichhorn’s rule to be stable over a large range of RDI (0.25–1). Effects of climate predictors were weak and only visible for radial growth indices. They however suggested antagonistic effects of water and temperature constraints in summer and autumn. Discussion : Langsaeter’s and Eichhorn’s rules were found valid over a large range of RDI values. We suggest using them to guide growth models and management. However, assumptions behind the use of site index as a proxy for stand productivity were invalidated. Weak and opposed effect of temperature in summer and autumn makes the outcome of climate warming on sessile oak growth uncertain.

The research was conducted in six circular Permanent Plots (PPs) with an area of 500 square meters each, within thinning and selected cuttings stands of sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.), common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.), all situated in the Southern Carpathians (Mihăești, Mușeteși and Vidraru Forest Districts). Using the conventional method, the dendrometric tree characteristics such as height, diameter at breast height (dbh) and tree position were directly recorded in the field. As a modern method for data collection, a Faro Focus3D X 130 HDR terrestrial laser scanning device was used to scan each plot and to extract the dbh and height of the trees. In this regard, two scanning approaches were used - single scan (SS) and multiple scan (MS). In order to compare the two data acquisitions methods, we applied a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) analysis on the basis of which we could establish the pros and cons of using the two methods. Therefore, one can choose the most advantageous method for obtaining the reference data for forestry, in terms of equipment acquisition cost, personnel skills and qualifications, data collection working time, accuracy of the data recorded, post processing time, labor costs. Although the use of TLS in forest inventory is a technology with high potential, further investigations need to be done, especially in the case of automatic extraction of the tree height. For accurate reference ground data for forest inventory purposes, we still recommend using the conventional methods although they are time consuming.
