“…In addition to these dendrochronological studies, Kenk et al (1989) (Becker, 1987). On the other hand, on the century time-scale, a clear long-term increase in the average radial growth level was demonstrated (Becker, 1989).…”

Summary — A dendroecological study was carried out in 2 forests in northeastern France with the aim of identifying and quantifying possible long-term trends in the radial growth of sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt) Liebl) and pedunculate oak (Q robur L). A total of 150 sites were selected to represent the ecological diversity of these forests. An index Cdwas used to correct annual ring width in order to compensate for the effect of different competition situations. The data were standardized with reference to the mean curve 'basal area increment vs cambial age'. The

“…Radial growth was analyzed within age classes in the SF plot to check whether there were any size differences between the BAIs related to rings produced by trees of the same cambial age in different periods [3,4]. BAI50 were divided into age classes so that only data derived from rings within a specific age range are averaged in succession [4].…”

-Three plots were sampled along an altitudinal gradient in the upper Susa Valley (Piedmont, Italy) on a northeastern slope from 1800 to 2300 m a.s.l. In order to reconstruct recent dynamics at this altitudinal range various techniques were used. Dendroecological methods were used to reconstruct the age structures of tree populations. Growth dynamics were investigated both by observing Basal Area Increment (BAI) in old and dominant trees and by comparing the BAIs within a given cambial age class in different time periods. Historical documents were analyzed as an independent data source to explain changes in establishment rate. As far as the tree establishment at the forestline and at the treeline is concerned we observed three distinct periods: during the first one (1850-1930) larch establishment was reduced or prevented because of heavy grazing and the stone pine establishment was almost null because of the grazing and of the human anthropogenic removal. During the second one ) the past heavy grazing followed by periods of moderate grazing favored the larch establishment; stone pine establishment was still prevented both by grazing and by anthropogenic removal. Finally the third period (1960-present) has been the period of massive stone pine regeneration. The growth rates of stone pine and larch have increased in the last decades: individuals in the 100-, 150-and 200-year age classes grow more rapidly in present times as compared to the previous two centuries. In the same time younger trees (1-50 years old) showed a decline in growth because the current stands are denser and the young and suppressed trees have worse growth conditions respect the previous open stands. An analysis of all the data taken together in the present study argues in favor of the fact that the tree establishment, and more in general the forest dynamic, has been mainly controlled by human land-use and that the tree growth has been mainly climatically controlled. dendroecology / Larix decidua / Pinus cembra / tree-rings / basal area increment (BAI) / herbivory Résumé -Histoire de l'occupation du sol, et dynamique forestière à la limite supérieure des arbres dans la vallée de Suse (Piémont, Italie). Afin de reconstruire la dynamique récente de l'étage subalpin, la présente étude a mis en oeuvre plusieurs techniques. Des méthodes dendrochronologiques ont permis de reconstruire la structure d'âges des populations d'arbres. La croissance a été étudiée à la fois par l'observation de l'accroissement en surface terrière des vieux arbres dominants et en comparant les accroissements en surface terrière des classes d'arbres avec la même classe d'âge cambial à différentes périodes de temps. De plus, des documents d'archives ont été étudiés. On a observé trois phases distinctes d'établissement des arbres : la première (1850-1930) durant laquelle il n'y a pas d'établissement d'arbre à cause de la forte pression du pâturage, la deuxième durant laquelle il y a établissement de mélèzes, car la pression du pâturage diminue et la troisième (1960-au...

Has global change induced divergent trends in radial growth of Pinus sylvestris and Pinus halepensis at their bioclimatic limit? The example of the Sainte-Baume forest (south-east France)

et al. 2008

Abstract• It is agreed that climate (precipitation and temperature) influences the distribution of plant species. Near the margins of a species' natural range, climate becomes limiting to physiological processes. There, climate change may be expected to have a significant impact on tree growth and the species' ranges may be altered.• In order to assess what influence climate change could exert on the distribution of pine species at their margin, radial growth trends in ring-width chronologies over the last century were analysed. In the French Mediterranean area where climate change is characterized by increased temperature, forest plots were selected along an altitudinal transect on the north-facing slope of the Sainte-Baume mountain (Bouches-du-Rhône, France) where the ranges of Pinus sylvestris and Pinus halepensis overlap.• Two growth patterns were identified. For P. halepensis, radial growth has increased at all altitudes indicating that climate change has improved growth conditions of this species near the margin of its ecological range. For P. sylvestris, radial growth has increased only at low altitudes and even decreased at high altitudes.• It must be deduced that the growth changes observed cannot be generalised either at the species level or at the geographical level and must be interpreted with great caution. Mots-clés :changement global / limite bioclimatique / croissance radiale / Pinus halepensis / Pinus sylvestris Résumé -Les changements globaux ont-ils induit des tendances de croissance radiale opposées chez Pinus sylvestris et Pinus halepensis à leur limite bioclimatique ? L'exemple de la forêt de la Sainte-Baume.• Il est admis que les facteurs climatiques (températures et précipitations) sont en partie responsables de la distribution des espèces en limitant leurs processus physiologiques en limite de distribution d'aire. Dans ce cas, les conséquences des changements climatiques sur la croissance sont susceptibles d'y être le plus marqué et leurs distributions pourraient varier.• Afin d'évaluer les conséquences des changements climatiques, les tendances de croissance observées au siècle dernier dans les séries temporelles de cernes ont été analysées. En zone médi-terranéenne française, où les changements climatiques sont caractérisés par une augmentation des températures, des placettes ont été sélectionnées selon un gradient altitudinal sur le flanc nord de la montagne de la Sainte-Baume (Bouches-du-Rhône, France) où les distributions de Pinus sylvestris et Pinus halepensis se superposent.• Deux patrons de croissance ont été identifiés. La croissance radiale de P. halepensis a augmenté quelle que soit l'altitude considérée indiquant que le changement climatique a amélioré les conditions de croissance de l'espèce à sa limite de distribution. Chez P. sylvestris, des tendances de croissance opposées inattendues ont été mises en évidence : la croissance a augmenté à faible altitude et a diminué aux altitudes les plus élevées.• Il en résulte que les changements de croissance observés ne peuvent être ...
