Abstract

Projet co-financé par la commission européenne au sein du sixième programme-cadre (2002-2006). Project n° 518128: EFORWOOD: Tools for Sustainability Impact Assessment Thematic Priority: 6.3 Global Change and Ecosystems; This report describes research carried out to derive scores for the recreational value of 240 forest stand types across Europe. The scores were obtained through a Delphi survey involving 46 European experts organised into 4 regional panels: Great Britain, Nordic Region, Central Europe, and Iberia. In each region, 60 forest stand types were defined according to three tree species types (conifer, broadleaved, and mixed), four phases of development (i.e. stand ages: establishment, young, medium and adult), and five forest management alternatives (FMAs) on a continuum from low to high levels of management intensity (forest nature reserves, close-to-nature forests, combined-objective forestry, intensive even-aged forestry, and wood biomass production). The resulting scores were applied in two ways. First, they were combined with outputs from the European forest resource projection model, EFISCEN, to estimate current and future recreational values under different policy scenarios. This is reported in EFORWOOD D2.3.7. Secondly, which is the focus of this report, conjoint analysis was used to determine, in each European region, the relative importance of the three variables that defined the forest stand types: type of tree species, phase of development (i.e. stand age), and FMA. The research complements EFORWOOD D2.3.3 which used other data derived from the same Delphi survey to assess the nature, and relative importance, of the relationship between 12 key silvicultural attributes and the recreational value of forests in each of the four regions. The findings suggest that, across Europe, tree species composition was of relatively minor importance in explaining the overall variation in scores. In UK and Central Europe, comparably high importance was attached to FMA and phase of development, while in the Nordic Region and Iberia, phase of development was considered more important than FMA. The relative importance attached to each FMA suggests that most visitors prefer close-to-nature or combined-objective forestry to unmanaged forest nature reserves. The low importance attached to tree species suggest that criticism directed towards non-native conifers, and perceived preferences for broadleaves across Europe, may not be due to the choice of tree species per se, but the use of conifers in intensive management regimes characterized by dense even-aged monocultures and short rotation lengths. It is acknowledged that such a finding may hide substantial variation in preferences between individuals and social groups, between people pursuing different recreational activities, and between geographical regions with their contrasting cultural landscapes.

Abstract

Projet co-financé par la commission européenne au sein du sixième programme-cadre (2002-2006). Project n° 518128: EFORWOOD: Tools for Sustainability Impact Assessment Thematic Priority: 6.3 Global Change and Ecosystems; This report demonstrates the application of recreational scores, obtained through a pan-European Delphi survey as part of EFORWOOD, to model the impacts of changes in forest management on the recreational value of European forests. Changes in the level of implementation of the Natura 2000 policy is used as an example. Currently, about 8% of the EU forest area is allocated to biodiversity conservation (MCPFE class 1; MCPFE 2007). According to the Natura 2000 Agenda, 15% of the territory of the EU should be designated as conservation area by 2025. It is to be expected, therefore, that the forest conservation area will increase considerably in the near future. The impact of different nature conservation implementation levels on the recreational value of forests in Europe was explored using recreational scores derived from the Delphi survey, and combined with outputs from the forest scenario model EFISCEN. Changes in recreational value were considered against two background futures (A1 and B2 from the SRES scenarios) and three different nature conservation implementation levels. The results suggest that overall an increase in forest area managed for conservation would cause a slight net increase the recreational value per hectare of forests in Europe, although there is considerable variation between countries.

Abstract

International audience; COST (COST is an intergovernmental framework for European cooperation in science and technology. COST funds network activities, workshops and conferences with the aim to reducing the fragmentation in European research) Action E47, European Network for Forest Vegetation Management Towards Environmental Sustainability was formed in 2005 and gathered scientists and practitioners from eighteen European countries with the objective of sharing current scientific advances and best practice in the field of forest vegetation management to identify common knowledge gaps and European research potentials. This paper summarizes the work of the COST action and concludes that although diverse countries have by necessity adopted different means of addressing the challenges of forest vegetation management in Europe in the 21st century, some common themes are still evident. In all countries, there is a consensus that vegetation management is a critical silvicultural operation to achieve forest establishment, regeneration, growth and production. It appears that herbicides are still in use to some degree in all the countries reviewed, although at a lower intensity in many of the northern countries compared to other regions. The most common alternatives to herbicides adopted are the use of mechanical methods to cut vegetation and achieve soil cultivation; overstorey canopy manipulation to control vegetation by light availability; and in some instances the use of mulches or biological control. Any reductions in herbicide use achieved do not seem to have been driven solely by participation in forest certification schemes. Other factors, such as national initiatives or the availability of additional resources to implement more expensive nonchemical approaches, may be equally important. The development of more cost-effective and practical guidance for managers across Europe on non-chemical control methods can best be brought about by future collaborative research into more sustainable and holistic methods of managing forest vegetation, through the identification of silvicultural approaches to reduce or eliminate pesticide use and through gaining a better understanding of the fundamental mechanisms and impacts of competition.

Abstract

International audience; Field-scale experiments simulating realistic future climate scenarios are important tools for investigating the effects of current and future climate changes on ecosystem functioning and biogeochemical cycling. We exposed a semi-natural Danish heathland ecosystem to elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), warming, and extended summer drought in all combinations. Here, we report on the short-term responses of the nitrogen (N) cycle after two years of treatments. Elevated CO2 significantly affected above-ground stoichiometry by increasing the carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratios in the leaves of both co-dominant species (Calluna vulgaris and Deschampsia flexuosa), as well as the C/N ratios of Calluna flowers and by reducing the N concentration of Deschampsia litter. Below-ground, elevated CO2 had only minor effects, whereas warming increased N turnover, as indicated by increased rates of microbial NH4+-N consumption, gross mineralization, potential nitrification, denitrification and N2O emissions. Drought reduced below-ground gross N mineralization and decreased fauna N mass and N mineralization. Leaching was unaffected by treatments but was significantly higher across all treatments in the second year than in the much drier first year indicating that ecosystem N loss is highly sensitive to changes and variability in amount and timing of precipitation. Interactions between treatments were common and although some synergistic effects were observed, antagonism dominated the interactive responses in treatment combinations, i.e. responses were smaller in combinations than in single treatments. Nonetheless, increased C/N ratios of photosynthetic tissue, decreased litter N production, and decreased fauna N mineralization prevailed in the full treatment combination indicating reduced N turnover in the simulated future climate scenario, which could act to reduce the potential growth response of plants to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration. In conclusion, effects observed in single-factor studies should be evaluated with caution. Multi-factor climate experiments are needed for improving realistic estimation of the combined ecosystem responses to future climate changes.

Abstract

Projet co-financé par la commission européenne au sein du sixième programme-cadre (2002-2006). Project n° 518128: EFORWOOD: Tools for Sustainability Impact Assessment Thematic Priority: 6.3 Global Change and Ecosystems ; This report explores the relationship and contribution of 12 key silvicultural attributes to the recreational value of forests in Europe. While the majority of research in this field has focused on individual case studies, this study is one of the few to provide a pan-European synthesis through a combination of a literature review and primary research. A Delphi survey was carried out with panels of experts in each of four contrasting European regions: Great Britain, the Nordic Region, Central Europe, and Iberia. For each attribute, participants were asked to state what they believed to be the nature of the relationship, and relative contribution, of each attribute to the overall recreational value of forests. The findings indicate that 'size of trees' is universally considered one of the most important attributes, along with attributes that reflect level of intervention such as 'size of clear-cuts', 'residue from thinning and harvesting', and 'visual penetration'. The results also suggest that, on average, the public prefer a degree of intervention to 'tidy up' the forest, creating a situation of 'managed naturalness'. Other key findings include the relative unimportance of 'number of tree species'. There are also some striking variations in the ranking of certain attributes across regions. 'Residue' is considered of very little importance in Central Europe whereas it scores highly elsewhere. Similarly, in Great Britain, the highest importance is attached to 'variation in tree size', although this attribute scores low elsewhere. The low importance given to 'variation between stands' in Great Britain contrasts with the Nordic Region and Central Europe, where, arguably, similar kinds of forest may extend across large areas and may be seen to be monotonous.

Abstract

International audience; Co-dominant markers suitable for molecular ecological studies in the genus Adansonia are highly desirable in order to be able to address a number of interesting research questions related to the special life history traits, gene flow, and distribution dynamics of the Adansonia species. This note presents a set of 18 SSR- primers developed for Adansonia digitata, and tested for cross-amplification on all members of the Adansonia genus. All reported primers were found to amply loci with more than two alleles per locus in Adansonia digitata, reflecting its tretraploid nature. Segregation of alleles in open pollinated progenies from trees with four alleles per locus indicated polysomic inheritance for 14 of the 18 loci.
