1. Above- and belowground growth response of Picea abies seedlings exposed to varying levels of soil relative bulk density

Author:
Labelle, Eric R.; Kammermeier, Maximilian

Picea abies; belowground biomass; bulk density; computer software; equipment; forest stands; forests; mechanization; monitoring; roots; seedlings; seeds; shoots; silt loam soils; soil density; trees; Germany
Abstract:
... During mechanized forest operations, machines with high wheel loads are operated directly on the soil and can pose serious concerns for the integrity and quality of soil properties. Simply relying on absolute soil density (g cm⁻³ or t m⁻³) as a measure of qualitative assessment remains site specific. Instead of absolute soil density, the aim of this study was to assess and quantify the above- and ...

Abstract:
... Allometric variations in tree height and stem diameter are a genetically controlled trait that reflects the ability of trees to adjust to different environmental conditions. This paper examines the ecological control of abiotic and forest-state variables on height- and stem diameter-growth in oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) in an unmanaged, high-elevation forest of northern Iran. Spatiall ...

Abstract:
... As non-industrial private forest owners own a large share of forests in Europe, their management choices can largely affect the delivery of forest ecosystem services of different types: provisional, regulation and cultural. The literature is rich in studies exploring the delivery of both provisional services (timber or wood products) and cultural ones (recreation or amenity). However, fewer resear ...

Abstract:
... Although Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is one of the most economically important European timber trees, there is still insufficient data about biomass variability and its relationships with stand features. Therefore, we aimed: (1) to develop biomass models for different aboveground biomass components at tree and stand levels, as well as biomass conversion and expansion factors (BCEFs), (2) to a ...

Abstract:
... Sustainable forest management is driving the development of forest decision support systems (DSSs) to include models and methods concerned with climate change, biodiversity and various ecosystem services (ESs). The future development of forest landscapes is very much dependent on how forest owners act and what goes on in the wider world; thus, models are needed that incorporate these aspects. The ...

Abstract:
... Forest liming is often used as a mitigation tool to counteract soil acidification that is caused by atmospheric deposition. However, our understanding of the long-term effects of liming on forest communities is still incomplete. We examine the effects of repeated liming on the herb layer of spruce stands in the Ore Mountains in East Germany. The area is characterised by acidic bedrock and profound ...

Fagus sylvatica subsp. orientalis; canopy gaps; models; old-growth forests; resorption; temperate forests; trees
Abstract:
... The patch mosaic–development stage model posits the unity of patches and development stages in primeval temperate forests and links patchiness to the synchronized, coarse-scale canopy senescence, and breakup processes that initiate the demographic transition to new regeneration patches that then asynchronously progress through sequential development stages. Subtle structural differences and incons ...

Abstract:
... To understand the demographic consequences of seed predation, it is essential to scale-up losses over space and time. We tested how individual tree characteristics, forest attributes, and the local environment affected rates of both pre- and post-dispersal seed predation in Scots pine Pinus sylvestris, in Scotland’s ancient native pinewoods. The sampling strategy was hierarchical, allowing assessm ...

The present study predicted the area and extent of the disturbance of forest soil using soil data collected from 39 ground-based working areas. Random sampling was used to lay out 351 circular sample plots, each with a radi ...

Earthworm and soil macroarthropod abundance and biomass were highest in alder plantations, followed by oak plantations. The numbers of soil macrofauna were positively correlated with the total soil N content, which wa ...

Abstract:
... Foresters from many countries are seeking for tree species or provenances able to cope with expected climate change.

Abstract:
... In plant taxonomy, wood density is not usually used as a classification criterion, although it could be used as a complementary measure. The aim of the present study was therefore to verify whether the xylem tissues of species belonging to the same taxon (genus or family) are similar in terms of density. In order to test this hypothesis, we examined previously reported wood basic density values fo ...
