Regional changes of Pinus pinaster site index in Spain using a climate-based dominant height model

Canadian Journal of Forest Research (2010)

Andrés Bravo‐Oviedo Clemente Gallardo Miren del Rı́o Gregorio Montero

This study compares two site index estimations for Mediterranean maritime pine ( Pinus pinaster Ait.) stands in the Iberian Peninsula. The first prediction was performed under the assumption of constant climate conditions, whereas the second one used foreseen climate according to an energy-use increment and high population growth (IPCC’s A2 emission scenario). We used an existing climate-based dominant height model that incorporates temperature, seasonal precipitation in winter and autumn, and drought length as driver variables for dominant height growth. Climate attributes were retrieved from eight regional climate models nested in the same atmospheric–ocean global circulation model. Forest stand data from 188 experimental plots in four natural regions were used to compare regional climate change trends. Results indicated a climate-related diminishing trend of site index values, although some regional differences were evident. In the northern stands, the negative effects were not observed, and in some cases, forest productivity increased on low site index classes. Conversely, in the southernmost stands, there is a significant decrease in the site index across all productivity classes. Western and eastern stands also showed a decreasing trend but to a lesser extent. Our results confirm the vulnerability of stands to warmer and drier climate conditions in the southern Mediterranean region in relation to wood productivity.

Effects of Drought on Xylem Anatomy and Water-Use Efficiency of Two Co-Occurring Pine Species

Forests (2017)

Dario Martin‐Benito Kevin J. Anchukaitis Michael N. Evans Miren del Rı́o Hans Beeckman

Exploring how drought influences growth, performance, and survival in different species is crucial to understanding the impacts of climate change on forest ecosystems. Here, we investigate the responses of two co-occurring pines (Pinus nigra and Pinus sylvestris) to interannual drought in east-central Spain by dendrochronological and wood anatomical features integrated with isotopic ratios of carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) in tree rings. Our results showed that drought induces both species to allocate less carbon to build tracheid cell-walls but increases tracheid lumen diameters, particularly in the transition wood between early and latewood, potentially maximizing hydraulic conductivity but reducing resistance to embolism at a critical phase during the growing season. The thicker cell-wall-to-lumen ratio in P. nigra could imply that its xylem may be more resistant to bending stress and drought-induced cavitation than P. sylvestris. In contrast, the higher intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE) in P. sylvestris suggests that it relies more on a water-saving strategy. Our results suggest that narrower cell-walls and reduced growth under drought are not necessarily linked to increased iWUE. At our site P. nigra showed a higher growth plasticity, grew faster and was more competitive than P. sylvestris. In the long term, these sustained differences in iWUE and anatomical characters could affect forest species performance and composition, particularly under increased drought stress.

The symmetry of competitive interactions in mixed Norway spruce, silver fir and European beech forests

Journal of Vegetation Science (2018)

Abstract Questions We aim for a better understanding of the different modes of intra‐ and inter‐specific competition in two‐ and three‐species mixed‐forests. How can the effect of different modes of competitive interactions be detected and integrated into individual tree growth models? Are species interactions in spruce–fir–beech forests more associated with size‐symmetric or size‐asymmetric competition? Do competitive interactions between two of these species change from two‐ to three‐species mixtures? Location Temperate mixed‐species forests in Central Europe (Switzerland). Methods We used data from the Swiss National Forest Inventory to fit basal area increment models at the individual tree level, including the effect of ecological site conditions and indices of size‐symmetric and size‐asymmetric competition. Interaction terms between species‐specific competition indices were used to disentangle significant differences in species interactions from two‐ to three‐species mixtures. Results The growth of spruce and fir was positively affected by increasing proportions of the other species in spruce–fir mixtures, but negative effects were detected with increasing presence of beech. We found that competitive interactions for spruce and fir were more related to size‐symmetric competition, indicating that species interactions might be more associated with competition for below‐ground resources. Under constant amounts of stand basal area, the growth of beech clearly benefited from the increasing admixture of spruce and fir. For this species, patterns of size‐symmetric and size‐asymmetric competitive interactions were similar, indicating that beech is a strong self‐competitor for both above‐ground and below‐ground resources. Only for silver fir and beech, we found significant changes in species interactions from two‐ to three‐species mixtures, but these were not as prominent as the effects due to differences between intra‐ and inter‐specific competition. Conclusions Species interactions in spruce–fir–beech, or other mixed forests, can be characterized depending on the mode of competition, allowing interpretations of whether they occur mainly above or below ground level. Our outcomes illustrate that species‐specific competition indices can be integrated in individual tree growth functions to express the different modes of competition between species, and highlight the importance of considering the symmetry of competition alongside competitive interactions in models aimed at depicting growth in mixed‐species forests.
