“…Disturbance has been shown to dramatically affect plant communities (Agee 1991;Dale and Doyle 1987;Fain et al 1994;Glitzenstein et al 1990;McBride and Jacobs 1986;Peart et al 1992;Peterken and Game 1984;Rudnicky and McDonnell 1989;Sharpe et al 1986;Solinska-G6rnicka and Syrnonides 1990;White et al 1990;Yost et al 1991;Zipperer et al 1990). I attempted to determine the last known date of logging or fire, and if possible, the size, severity, and frequency of such past disturbance at each site using aerial photographs, old maps, data provided by Portland Parks and Recreation, ages of tree cores, and interviews with individuals who were well acquainted with park history.…”

Forested Area (Forest Park) in Portland, Oregon.The effects of urbanization and continual human disturbance on the plant and avian communities of Forest Park and forested lands surrounding Portland, Oregon, were studied. I examined characteristics of plant and avian communities at 25 sites, 24 which were in Forest Park and surrounding areas and one which was in the Ancient Forest Preserve (old-growth stand) northwest of Forest Park. Data were analyzed using multiple regression, ANOV A, and Bonferonni/Dunn. Seven variables were selected representing different urbanization gradients. An additional covariable coded for the old-growth stand, allowing it to be used as a control.Many tree variables, especially those related to shade-tolerant species, were positively correlated with both the distance from downtown Portland and the number of houses in the surrounding area, and negatively correlated with the distance from the nearest forest edge; however, many shrub and herbaceous variables were negatively correlated with the distance from downtown Portland. Species diversity for herbaceous and shrub species was greater at more urban sites, but diversity of trees was lower at more urban sites. There were significantly more non-native species of plants in the city section. I found significantly fewer saplings and small trees, especially shade-tolerant species, in the section of Forest Park closest to downtown Portland, although tree mortality was positively correlated with distance from Portland.Summer bird data revealed significant increases in the abundances of urban and edge species at more urban sites, with concomitant reductions in forest species. There were significantly more ground gleaning birds and short distance migratory species.I also found a significantly greater abundance of birds in the old-growth stand during the winter. This increase was positively correlated with the depth of snow in the nearby Cascade Mountains.My results indicate that Forest Park is apparently progressing in a normal successional pattern with the exception of the city section. The reduction in shade tolerant saplings and small trees in the city section suggest that rate of succession has been slower at more urban sites. Avian data suggest that urbanization affects bird species abundance and guild composition in the more urban areas. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

“…Natural disturbance regimes have been replaced by disturbances, caused by people, that are linked to economic and social development [45]. Consequently, land-use and forest-use history is a fundamental determinant in shaping vegetative composition and stand structure in forests, and this cultural legacy has important implications for the present-day structure and composition of forest ecosystems and for the present and future forest management [15,16,40,58,48].…”

-Two silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) forest stands have been identified on unmanaged parts of previously managed forests in the "Alta Valle Pesio e Tanaro" Regional Park (Piedmont, Italy) in order to study their origin, past forest dynamic and disturbance history. The historical development and the successional history of these stands were investigated in two plots of 2000 m 2 by means of the following techniques: size and age structure analysis, abrupt growth changes analysis, establishment of pioneer species and of early-seral shade-intolerant species, historical data of logging. The stands investigated are relatively young; in the past 70 years some periods of heavy logging have been identified. Intense cutting has caused the establishment of an abundant regeneration of shade intolerant early-seral broadleaves species. The peak recruitment period of the broadleaves occurred around 1940 in plot 1 and around 1975 in plot 2. The current structures and composition of the forest are therefore the result of anthropogenic activity, indeed, the presence of pure silver fir stands in the past were the result of human intervention. The silver fir will share future dominance with several broadleaves species such as the beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and the sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) although the exact successional status of these stands is unresolved. stand history / forest dynamic / dendroecology / Abies alba Mill. / Alps Résumé -L'histoire des peuplements pour outil d'aménagement forestier : les forêts de sapin blanc (Abies alba Mill.) dans la Haute Vallée du Pesio (CN, Italie). Deux peuplements représentatifs de sapinière de la Haute Vallée du Pesio ont été identifiés dans des zones abandonnées de forêts qui étaient fortement exploitées. Les deux peuplements ont été choisis pour étudier les effets de l'utilisation historique du territoire sur la dynamique et la composition de la forêt. En mettant en relation les analyses de croissance, le recrutement de feuillus pionnières et les données de documents historiques, nous avons reconstruit l'histoire de ces peuplements. Les deux peuplements sont relativement jeunes et ont été fortement exploités pendant le dernier siècle jusqu'à la création du Parc Naturel (1970). Le recrutement maximum a été identifié en 1940 pour le peuplement 1 et en 1975 pour le peuplement 2. L'exploitation forestière et le recrutement de feuillus ont été suivis par la fermeture du couvert. C'est seulement durant les deux ou trois dernières décennies que les deux peuplements ont pu se développer naturellement. Aujourd'hui, le sapin est en train de regagner sa place mais dans le futur, il devra vraisemblablement partager l'étage supérieur avec les feuillus mésophiles comme l'érable (Acer pseudplatanus L.) et le hêtre (Fagus sylvatica L.) même si le futur statut de ces peuplements n'est pas encore exactement établi.histoire du peuplement / dynamique forestière / dendroécologie / Abies alba Mill. / Alpes
