No large projects have been developed using aerial LiDAR acquired independent of ground sample plot datasets. The goal of this study was to develop and validate large-scale parametric merchantable wood volume estimation models using existing historical ground sample plots. The models can be applied to large LiDAR datasets to map merchantable wood volume as a 10 × 10 m raster. The study demonstrated that a relative density index (RDI) based on a self-thinning equation and dominant height were suitable variables that can be calculated both for ground sample plots and LiDAR datasets. The resulting volume raster showed sound accuracy rates when compared to validation zones: R², 82.25%; RMSE, 13.7 m3/ha; and bias, −4.09 m3/ha. The results show that ground sample plot datasets acquired synchronously with LiDAR can be used to calculate the RDI and dominant height. These variables can consequently be used to map forest attributes over a large area with a high level of accuracy, thus not requiring the implementation of new costly sample plots.

Assessing the dependencies of scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) structural characteristics and internal wood property variation / Ville Kankare in Forests, vol 13 n° 3 (March 2022)  

Public [article]  inForests > vol 13 n° 3 (March 2022) . - n° 397 Titre : Assessing the dependencies of scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) structural characteristics and internal wood property variation Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ville Kankare, Auteur ; Ninni Saarinen, Auteur ; Jiri Pyorala, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 397 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Lasergrammétrie [Termes IGN] biomasse forestière [Termes IGN] croissance des arbres [Termes IGN] dendrochronologie [Termes IGN] densité du bois [Termes IGN] diamètre à hauteur de poitrine [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] éclaircie (sylviculture) [Termes IGN] Finlande [Termes IGN] forêt équienne [Termes IGN] modèle linéaire [Termes IGN] Pinus sylvestris [Termes IGN] puits de carbone [Termes IGN] semis de points [Termes IGN] structure d'un peuplement forestier [Termes IGN] variation de densité Résumé : (auteur) Wood density is well known to vary between tree species as well as within and between trees of a certain species depending on the growing environment causing uncertainties in forest biomass and carbon storage estimation. This has created a need to develop novel methodologies to obtain wood density information over multiple tree communities, landscapes, and ecoregions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the dependencies between structural characteristics of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) tree communities and internal wood property (i.e., mean wood density and ring width) variations at breast height. Terrestrial laser scanning was used to derive the structural characteristics of even-aged Scots pine dominated forests with varying silvicultural treatments. Pearson’s correlations and linear mixed effect models were used to evaluate the interactions. The results show that varying silvicultural treatments did not have a statistically significant effect on the mean wood density. A notably stronger effect was observed between the structural characteristics and the mean ring width within varying treatments. It can be concluded that single time terrestrial laser scanning is capable of capturing the variability of structural characteristics and their interactions with mean ring width within different silvicultural treatments but not the variation of mean wood density.

Changes of tree stem biomass in European forests since 1950 / Aleksandr Lebedev in Journal of forest science, vol 68 n° 3 (March 2022)

These results contradict the fact that the volume of wood is directly converted to biomass using the historical values of the conversion rates. From 1950 to 2020 the biomass of 1 m3 of the stem with bark decreased on average by 80 kg (–17%) for Scots pine, by 105 kg (–22%) for Norway spruce and by 92 kg (–15%) for silver birch. The results obtained should be taken into account when assessing the technical properties of wood and estimating carbon sequestration by forest biomass. Since decreasing trends in stem biomass have been identified for several tree species, the phenomenon may have a large degree of generality. Such studies should be continued both at the regional and national level and at the global level.

Variation in morphological and wood cell traits in coppice stems of Populus nigra L. and Salix alba L. / Seray Özden in Journal of forest science, vol 67 n° 8 (August 2021)

Understanding morphological and anatomical responses of coppiced trees could help to determine the quantity and quality of wood and thus provide better management of coppiced tree plantations for short-time biomass production. However, there is a little investigation in morphological and anatomical adaptation in different fast-growing tree species. The present study, therefore, studied how morphology and anatomy vary between two fast-growing coppices of Populus nigra L. (black poplar) and Salix alba L. (white willow). Each coppiced tree was grown in a similar habitat and was at a similar age. However, each coppiced tree showed different morphological and anatomical plasticity in their stems in response to environmental factors. Poplar coppices showed better anatomical properties due to greater vessel diameter, fibre length, fibre width, fibre wall thickness, and ray height; however willow coppices had better morphological plasticity which had higher average stem height and ring width. The results suggest that willow coppices had the greater height growth potential even at 2 years of age than poplar coppices.

Towards silviculture guidelines to produce large-sized silver birch (betula pendula roth) logs in Western Europe / Héloïse Dubois in Forests, vol 12 n° 5 (May 2021)  

Public [article]  inForests > vol 12 n° 5 (May 2021) . - n° 599 Titre : Towards silviculture guidelines to produce large-sized silver birch (betula pendula roth) logs in Western Europe Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Héloïse Dubois, Auteur ; Hugues Claessens, Auteur ; Gauthier Ligot, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 599 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] Betula pendula [Termes IGN] croissance des arbres [Termes IGN] densité du bois [Termes IGN] diamètre à hauteur de poitrine [Termes IGN] Hauts-de-France (région 2016) [Termes IGN] houppier [Termes IGN] tronc [Termes IGN] Wallonie (Belgique) [Vedettes matières IGN] Foresterie Résumé : (auteur) Forest health problems arising from climate change, pests and pathogens are a threat to the main timber tree species. As a result, silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) has become a precious asset for meeting oncoming forestry challenges in western Europe. However, silviculture guidelines to produce high-value birch logs in this region are lacking. Producing large-sized birch trunks requires crown release, i.e., removing crown competitors around selected target trees. These interventions are currently seldom carried out or else too late when the growth potential of the trees has already diminished. This study set out to ascertain the diameter at breast height (dbh) that could be reached by crown-released birch, determine dbh-associated crown diameters, and further characterize the gain obtained from early crown release on birch dbh growth. We measured 704 birch trees that had undergone crown release in 38 naturally regenerated pure birch stands in southern Belgium and in northeastern France. We then evaluated the variation in stem and crown diameter, and analyzed increments in response to the earliness of the interventions in three subsamples, also compared with control target birch. We found that trees with a dbh of 50 cm could be grown within 60 years. Based on crown diameter, to produce 40, 50 and 60 cm dbh trunk, the distance required between target birch trees at the end of the rotation was around 8, 10 and 12 m. With no intervention and in ordinary dense birch regenerations, the dbh increment was found to decline once the stand reached age 4–7 years. Starting crown release in stands aged 4–5 years can double the dbh increment of target trees and provide a continual gain that may last up to 20 years. When birch crowns are released after 9–12 years, it may already be too late for them to recover their best growth rate. Our contribution should help complete emerging guidelines in support of birch silviculture development.
