Spruce beetles are changing forest structure and composition by killing a dominant overstory species, but we know little about how the understory community responds to the increase in resource availability brought about by spruce mortality, what mechanisms drive its response, or how its response affects other forest properties and processes. Location: Glacier Lakes Ecosystem Experiments Site, Medicine Bow Mountains, Wyoming, USA. Methods: We measured understory community cover and richness in 75 permanent plots during and 10 years after an epidemic spruce beetle outbreak, and measured trait values for 46 common understory species. We used linear regression to determine how the understory community has changed over time and along a gradient of spruce mortality, and to evaluate the relative support for two mechanisms contributing to species responses. Results: Understory cover nearly doubled between sampling periods and increased the most where spruce mortality was most severe. Understory richness doubled and showed a weak positive trend with spruce mortality. Understory species with the largest increases in cover were the most frequent across the landscape before the disturbance, were the tallest at maturity and had the lowest leaf turgor loss points. Fir seedling density decreased over time, with decreases lessening with increases in understory cover. Changes in spruce seedling density were not predicted by changes in understory cover. Conclusions: Our findings highlight some of the diverse ways in which understory communities can be altered by spruce beetle outbreaks, and how the direction and magnitude of change can depend on the amount of spruce mortality as well as on priority effects and traits of pre-disturbance species. Our findings also highlight how understory community changes can have implications for other forest properties and processes, such as tree regeneration and forest recovery.

Public [article]  inForest ecology and management > vol 494 (August-15 2021) . - n° 119315 Titre : Spatial patterns of living and dead small trees in subalpine Norway spruce forest reserves in Switzerland Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Eva Bianchi, Auteur ; Harald Bugmann, Auteur ; Martina Lena Hobi, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 119315 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] analyse de groupement [Termes IGN] distance [Termes IGN] espace topologique [Termes IGN] fonction K de Ripley [Termes IGN] forêt alpestre [Termes IGN] forêt subalpine [Termes IGN] mortalité [Termes IGN] Picea abies [Termes IGN] régénération (sylviculture) [Termes IGN] réserve forestière [Termes IGN] Suisse [Termes IGN] topographie locale [Termes IGN] voisinage (relation topologique) [Vedettes matières IGN] Ecologie forestière Résumé : (auteur) Spatial patterns can reveal a lot about ecological processes, but our knowledge of the spatial ecology of tree regeneration at a fine scale is quite limited. Therefore, we studied the spatial patterns of living and dead small trees in two subalpine Norway spruce forest reserves in Switzerland (Scatlè and Bödmerenwald) using three types of analyses. First, we investigated the distances of small trees to the nearest large neighboring tree and, by using maximum distances as indicator, inferred the size of forest gaps, detecting mainly forest gaps of small size, although with two exceptions that were driven by large-scale disturbances. Second, we accounted for spatial inhomogeneity in the pattern of small and large trees (i.e., variations in local tree densities) by including environmental covariates in point pattern models. Latitude (within the forest reserve), elevation and aspect contributed significantly to explaining the density of living and dead small trees, and partly of living and dead large trees. Yet, the influence of these environmental covariates varied between the two reserves due to their different topography and peculiar site conditions. Third, we analyzed neighborhood interactions between small and large trees based on the vicinity and size of trees. In both forest reserves, small living trees were randomly dispersed around large dead trees over a broad range of distances and, at certain distances in one reserve, even dispersed away from them. Small living trees further showed clustering around large living trees at short distances and dispersion at large distances. Small dead trees featured mainly a random pattern, although with a tendency to cluster around large neighbors at short distances, irrespective whether these were living or dead. Yet, the weakening of clustering with increasing distances indicates that the influence of large trees on small trees varies with spatial scale and thus that these neighborhood interactions are scale-dependent. Overall, our study contributes to a better understanding of the spatial ecology of mortality in small trees and ultimately of tree regeneration processes and stand dynamics in mountain forests.

Climate–growth relationships at the transition between Fagus sylvatica and Pinus mugo forest communities in a Mediterranean mountain / Chiara Calderano in Annals of Forest Science, vol 77 n° 3 (September 2020)  

Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science > vol 77 n° 3 (September 2020) Titre : Climate–growth relationships at the transition between Fagus sylvatica and Pinus mugo forest communities in a Mediterranean mountain Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Chiara Calderano, Auteur ; Claudia Cocozza, Auteur ; Caterina Palombo, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] changement d'occupation du sol [Termes IGN] croissance des arbres [Termes IGN] dendrochronologie [Termes IGN] dynamique de la végétation [Termes IGN] écotone [Termes IGN] Fagus sylvatica [Termes IGN] forêt subalpine [Termes IGN] Italie [Termes IGN] Pinus mugo subsp. uncinata [Termes IGN] précipitation [Termes IGN] température [Vedettes matières IGN] Végétation et changement climatique Résumé : (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.

Over the past two centuries, forest coverage and forest structures have been impacted globally by anthropogenic activities, for example, forest harvesting, and conversion of forested landscapes for plantations and urbanization. In addition, since the industrial revolution, climate change has resulted in profound impacts on forest ecosystems due to higher carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration or CO2 fertilization, warmer temperatures, changes in frequency and intensity of extreme weather events and natural disturbances. As a result, hydrological processes in forested watersheds have been altered by these natural and anthropogenic factors and these changes are expected to accelerate due to future changing climatic conditions. Hence, understanding how various environmental, physiological, and physical drivers interactively influence hydrological and biogeochemical processes in forest ecosystems is critical for sustainable water supply in forested watersheds. About 21% of the global population depends on water sources that originate in forested catchments where forest coverage larger than 30%. Furthermore, there are knowledge gaps in our understanding of the mechanism of hydrological and hydrochemical cycles in forested watersheds. This Special Issue addresses these gaps in our knowledge and includes twelve papers in the following three major research themes in forest watershed areas.

Effects of stand density on ecosystem properties of subalpine forests in the southern Rocky Mountains, USA / Sharon J. Hall in Annals of Forest Science, vol 67 n° 1 (January-February 2010)

Cependant, beaucoup de ces peuplements de haute altitude sont éclaircis pour de nombreux profits. Nous avons étudié les effets de la densité des peuplements forestiers sur les propriétés des écosystèmes dans les forêts subalpines du Colorado (USA), 17–18 ans après que les forêts aient été exploitées pour le bois. La structure de la forêt a considérablement modifié la composition et la signature chimique des communautés végétales. Auparavant les peuplements exploités renfermaient une plus faible densité d'arbres de l'étage dominant et une couverture du sol plus importante par rapport aux peuplements de référence correspondants. La concentration des composés phénoliques foliaires de plusieurs espèces a été liée négativement à la surface terrière des arbres dominants. En outre, les réductions de la densité du peuplement ont augmenté les rapports composés phénoliques foliaires totaux: azote chez certaines espèces, ce qui suggère que la formation de trouée peut conduire à des changements à long terme de la qualité de la litière. Malgré d'importants changements dans la structure forestière, la réduction de la densité du peuplement n'a pas laissé un héritage solide dans les propriétés de surface du sol, probablement à cause de l'intégrité des réserves de matière organique du sol. Les changements dans la structure de la forêt associés à la gestion passée ont laissé un impact à long terme sur les communautés végétales, mais n'ont que discrètement modifié le cycle des nutriments du sol, peut-être à cause des échanges entre les possibilités de décomposition de la litière et le microclimat associé à des réductions du couvert forestier.
