Holocene stand-scale vegetation dynamics and fire history of an old-growth spruce forest in southern Finland

Abstract: Forest vegetation composition, including\ud dominant keystone species and floristic diversity, is driven\ud by natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Disentangling\ud these complex interactions to identify the role of species\ud competition, climate and disturbances in boreal forest dynamics\ud is challenging. Here, pollen and charcoal data are\ud used to reconstruct Holocene vegetation and fire history at\ud the local stand-scale within an old-growth Picea abies\ud (Norway spruce) forest hollow in southern F… Show more

“…6), most likely due to fire, with Betula and Pinus partly replacing other species in secondary forest (Gromtsev, 2002). The same features were observed in a number of pollen diagrams from boreal forests in Finland (Clear et al, 2015), Russian Karelia (Kuosmanen et al, 2016), and central European Russia (Novenko et al, 2016), where pollen values of pioneer trees ( Pinus, Betula, Alnus , and Populus ) increased significantly following charcoal peaks. It is important to note, however, that the abundance of wind-pollinated plants with high pollen productivity, such as Betula, Alnus , and Pinus , is always overestimated (Lisitsyna et al, 2011; Marquer et al, 2014; Novenko et al, 2017).…”

“…The high explanatory value of climate explaining the variation in pollen data from lakes shows that these sites are suitable for such reconstructions, whereas the low explanatory values of climate explaining the variation in pollen data in small hollow records suggest that pollen records from small hollows or small lakes are not suitable for reconstructing past climate, as was also observed by Clear et al . (). The same is true in the pollen‐climate calibration models on which the pollen‐based climate reconstructions are based.…”
