Summary There is a rising interest in the role of species diversity ecosystem functioning and services, including productivity. Yet, how diversity–productivity relationship depends on identity abiotic conditions remains challenging issue. We analysed mixture effects productivity along site gradients, calculated from set factors, two biogeographic contexts (highlands lowlands). compared 5 two‐species mixtures (i.e. 10 cases mixed species) with that monocultures same species. Five main E...
Abstract Forests provide many ecosystem services that strongly depend on species diversity, as illustrated by the repeatedly observed diversity–productivity relationships (DPRs). These forest DPRs are assumed to result mostly from complementarity between at tree level whilst emerging community‐level processes remain poorly explored. In this study, we propose ‘tree packing effect’ (TPE), where diversity promotes productivity positively impacting maximum stand density, is an important...
Abstract Assessing how species productivity in mixtures is influenced by shade tolerance ( ST ) and phylogeny would be helpful to improve our general understanding of the relationship between tree diversity forests. We investigated effects differences phylogenetic distances PD s) pairs on Quercus petraea growing 18 lowland temperate calculated mixture effect as difference Q. mixed vs. pure stands. Our analyses were based data from seven annual campaigns French National Forest Inventory...
Abstract Climate change impacts forest functioning and dynamics, large uncertainties remain regarding the interactions between species composition, demographic processes environmental drivers. There are few robust tools available to link these processes, which precludes accurate projections recommendations for long‐term management. Forest gap models present a balance complexity generality widely used in predictive ecology. However, their relevance tackle questions about links climate is...
European climatic change has been proposed to induce many changes forests, about factors such as tree species distributions, site productivity, groundwater availability, outbreaks of forest pests, and damage from wind-breakage trees. Novel approaches empirical growth modelling using re-measurements over large gradients capture variability associated with long-term conditions well weather during the period. Using latest version individual tree-based simulator, PrognAus, which outfitted a...
Process-based forest models combine biological, physical, and chemical process understanding to simulate dynamics as an emergent property of the system. As such, they are valuable tools investigate effects climate change on ecosystems. Specifically, allow testing hypotheses regarding long-term ecosystem provide means assess impacts scenarios future development. a consequence, numerous local-scale simulation studies have been conducted over past decades forests. These apply best available...
Abstract More diverse forests are generally more resistant to insect herbivores. This might be due positive effects of tree diversity on predation. Although the enemies hypothesis has received conflicting evidence in forest ecosystems. Carabids were sampled by pitfall trapping a experiment, at centre plots ranging from one five species mixtures. The composition and vertical structure vegetation was assessed three scales, understorey, canopy experimental plots, surrounding area each plot....
Abstract Key message In this exploratory study, we show how combining the strength of tree diversity experiment with long-term perspective offered by forest gap models allows testing mixture yielding behavior across a full rotation period. Our results on SW France example illustrate mixing maritime pine birch may produce an overyielding (i.e., positive net biodiversity effect). Context Understanding link between and stand productivity is key issue at time when new management methods are...
Abstract Background and Aims In plants, high costs of reproduction during some years can induce trade-offs in resource allocation with other functions such as growth, survival resistance against herbivores or extreme abiotic conditions, but also subsequent reproduction. Such might occur following shortage at particular moments the reproductive cycle. Because plants are modular organisms, strategies for to vary among hierarchical levels. Using a defoliation experiment, our aim was test how...
1. Mixture effect on stand productivity is usually apprehended through a substitutive approach, whereby in mixed stands compared to monocultures, at equivalent density. This approach has proved that many cases perform better than monospecific forests, however, we do not yet have solid theory about species behaviour the mixture or even guidelines for combining species. The addition of second tree an existing mono-specific received much less consideration. Yet, this potential separate...
