Detecting Coppice Legacies from Tree Growth
In coppice-with-standards, once a common type of management in Central European lowland forests, selected trees (standards) were left to grow mature among the regularly harvested coppice stools to obtain construction wood. After the underwood was harvested, the forest canopy opened rapidly, giving standard trees an opportunity to benefit from reduced competition. Although this silvicultural sys...
متن کاملWater use of a multigenotype poplar short‐rotation coppice from tree to stand scale
Short-rotation coppice (SRC) has great potential for supplying biomass-based heat and energy, but little is known about SRC's ecological footprint, particularly its impact on the water cycle. To this end, we quantified the water use of a commercial scale poplar (Populus) SRC plantation in East Flanders (Belgium) at tree and stand level, focusing primarily on the transpiration component. First, ...
متن کاملModelling short‐rotation coppice and tree planting for urban carbon management – a citywide analysis
The capacity of urban areas to deliver provisioning ecosystem services is commonly overlooked and underutilized. Urban populations have globally increased fivefold since 1950, and they disproportionately consume ecosystem services and contribute to carbon emissions, highlighting the need to increase urban sustainability and reduce environmental impacts of urban dwellers. Here, we investigated t...
متن کاملLearning from legacies: fiber types, phenotypes, and human performance.
EMERSON, echoing Aristotle’s famous dictum, suggests that scientific inquiry begins in wonder. In the comparatively new discipline of exercise physiology, this wonder often has its roots in our own abilities (or inabilities) to perform work, to compete, to sustain exercise at a high level. For example, inspired by his background as a track athlete (1), Nobel laureate A. V. Hill made pioneering ...
متن کاملDetecting and Predicting Climatic Variation from Old-Growth Baldcypress
Tree-ring data can extend back in time for thousands of years allowing researchers to reconstruct certain environmental factors that have left an imprint or signal in the tree-ring record. Typically, these factors include reconstructions of annual precipitation or temperature for months or seasons to which a particular tree species is sensitive. Over the last several decades, scientists have us...
