Understanding and Modeling Forest Disturbance Interactions at the Landscape Level

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 9

Опубликована: Окт. 4, 2021

Disturbances, both natural and anthropogenic, affect the configuration, composition, function of forested ecosystems. Complex system behaviors emerge from interactions between disturbance regimes, vegetation response to those disturbances, their interplay with multiple drivers (climate, topography, land use, etc.) across spatial temporal scales. Here, we summarize conceptual advances empirical approaches interaction investigation, used insights evaluate categorize 146 landscape modeling studies emerging a systematic review literature published since 2010. Recent include formal disaggregation disturbances into constituent components, embedding processes dynamics, clarifying terminology for factors, types, ecosystem responses. Empirical investigating now span wide range approaches, including (most recently) advanced statistical methods applied an expanding set datasets. Concurrent development in spatially-explicit models, informed by these insights, integrate among anthropogenic coupling account stochasticity, within scales, non-linear responses climate change. Still, trade-offs model elegance complexity remain. We developed index degree process integration (i.e., balance static vs. dynamic components) given agent it our review.

Insect pollinators decline: an emerging concern of Anthropocene epoch

Insect pollination establishes an ecosystem service around the globe, providing compelling budgetary and creative profits along with developmental values to humans vital eco-friendly measures for environment. It is, therefore, essential understand how insect pollinator populations communities respond rapidly changing environments if we are maintain healthy effective services. Although pollinators known provide services more than 80% of world's flowering plants (including cultivated crops), a steep decline (∼20–40%) in their population has created alarming situation global biodiversity. Threats bee recent years have increased awareness about critical role life on earth, as predicted persist only when all animal-pollinated plant species persist. Additionally, usage chemical pesticides may result collapse which leads decrease food resource density also facilitates increasing isolation natural habitats. So, overcome pollinators' decline, joint efforts stakeholders needed increase numbers planet.

Tree insect pests and pathogens: a global systematic review of their impacts in urban areas

Urban Ecosystems, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 26(2), С. 587 - 604

Опубликована: Фев. 20, 2023

Abstract Trees contribute greatly to urban environments and human well-being, yet relatively little is known about the extent which a rising incidence of tree insect pests pathogens may be affecting these contributions. To address this issue, we undertook systematic review synthesis diverse global empirical evidence on impacts pathogens, using bibliographic databases. Following screening appraisal over 3000 articles from wide range fields, 100 studies 28 countries, spanning 1979–2021, were conceptually sorted into three-part framework: (1) environmental impacts, representing 95 studies, including those reporting damage, mortality, reduced growth, changes in function; (2) social reported by 35 aesthetics, health, safety hazards; (3) economic 24 costs pest management, losses. There has been considerable increase impact since 2011. Evidence gaps exist climate-regulating capacity, temperature regulation, water retention, soil erosion, wind protection, but also specific hazards, nuisances, property damages, hazard liabilities. As knowledge synthesis, article presents best available / pathogen guide policy, management further research. It will enable us better forecast how growing threats affect forest plan for eventualities.

Canopy structure influences arthropod communities within and beyond tree identity effects: Insights from combining LiDAR data, insecticidal fogging and machine learning regression modelling

Ecological Indicators, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 160, С. 111901 - 111901

Forest canopies host an abundant but often neglected diversity of arthropods, which requires careful attention in times ongoing biodiversity loss. Yet, how tree species composition interacts with canopy structure shaping arthropod communities remains largely unknown. Here, by combining mobile laser scanning and insecticidal fogging a machine learning algorithm, we studied architectural properties affect monospecific mixed stands broadleaved European beech the coniferous Norway spruce non-native Douglas fir Germany. Evaluating abundances ecological guild ∼ 90,000 arthropods 27 partly novel high-resolution structural variables, identified vegetation volume identity as weak predictors abundance diversity. In contrast, heterogeneity, i.e. complexity, vertical layering variability gaps—which were highest stands—were strong positive drivers. Despite this, was lower fir. Mixed had intermediate Our study shows that habitat heterogeneity species-identity are closely interlinked associated communities. Positive effects on uncoupled from resource availability, key role our intra-canopy gap indices suggests they should be considered indicators future research forest heterogeneity-diversity relationships. Broadleaf-conifer mixtures may suitable to mediate negative tree-species when adapting forests global change.

Gap expansion is the dominant driver of canopy openings in a temperate mountain forest landscape

Abstract Natural disturbances are important drivers of forest dynamics, and canopy gaps their fingerprints in ecosystems. Gaps form persist because the interplay tree mortality regeneration. They can have long‐lasting impacts on ecosystems, yet temporal dynamics gap formation closure remains poorly quantified. We analysed 11,331 changes through time across 3999 ha unmanaged temperate mountain forests at Berchtesgaden National Park (Germany). assessed using three repeat lidar acquisitions between 2009 2021, analysing height 1 m horizontal resolution. Our objective was to determine dominant mode formation, distinguishing creation new from expansion existing ones. Additionally, we studied rate closure, considering regeneration lateral crown expansion. Gap primarily driven by rather than initiation gaps. accounted for 81.3% although were average twice as large expansions. Only 1.4% did not expand over 12‐year study period, Norway spruce had highest Overall, (0.74 100 −1 year ) higher (0.58 our system.
