“…The age of maximum production is between 60 and 100 years but some seeds can be produced up to 200 years (Gordon and Faulkner 1992). Seed cones are mostly concentrated on branches on the upper part of the crown (Carlisle and Brown 1968). Pollen cone initiation takes place in late June to early July and seed cones initiate in August (Fletcher 1992).…”

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) grows some 400 km south of its current native limit at Wybunbury Moss, Cheshire, UK, on a peatland around a small floating bog (Schwingmoor). Cone and seed production of trees, which have been growing on the site for just over 100 years, were investigated over 3 years. Cones matured between September and March and seed shedding began in early April. The number of cones produced per reproductive tree ranged between 31 and 2,418, with a total average of 685 cones tree -1 y -1 . A strong relationship was found between tree diameter and seed production which allowed the prediction of annual seed production. Scots pine on this peatland produced between 766,874 and 950,000 seeds ha -1 annually with a germination percentage of 64%. The predicted number of seeds reaching the central bog (maximum of 120 m from the trees) every year was c. 16,000.

“…Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), native to Scotland and northern Europe (Carlisle and Brown 1968) has been widely planted through Europe, Asia and North America (Steven and Carlisle 1959;York and Littlefield 1942), far outside of its native range. In Britain, Scots pine produces seeds and establishes readily on a wide range of soil types.…”

“…The small hollow at Oxborough Wood, on the western Breckland margin has higher values of P. sylvestris pollen than Hockham Mere (Bradshaw, 1981). P. sylvestris can grow on a wide range of soils in Britain today (Carlisle & Brown, 1968), so it appears that competition from the deciduous trees (especially C. avellana) was probably sufficient to exclude it from the richer soils. The landscape around Hockham Mere may have included some areas with soils so poor that only P. sylvestris occurred.…”

Competitive Interactions Among Forest Tree Populations in Norfolk, England, During the Last 10000 Years

SUMMARYThe post-glacial pollen stratigraphies of two sequences of lake sediments (Hockham Mere and The Mere, Stow Bedon) are compared. Both suggest displacement of existing taxa when new taxa arrive from their cold-stage refugia and expand their populations. Hockham Mere is within an area of sandy soils, while The Mere at Stow Bedon is within an area of calcareous till soils. There have been differences in the forest vegetation around the two sites for most of the last 10000 years, and the competitive interactions between the forest trees differ also.

“…Such vast distribution encompasses a broad array of climates, including the frequent and severe summer droughts of southern Iberian Peninsula and the fiercely cold winters of north-eastern Siberia [1,2]. Climate variability has indeed been a fundamental player shaping the species adaptive structure in terms of drought tolerance [3] and cold hardiness [4].…”

Understanding climate change impacts on drought-prone forests is a critical issue. We investigated ring-width and stable isotopes (∆ 13 C and δ 18 O) in two Pinus sylvestris stands of the cold-dry Siberian forest-steppe growing under contrasting climatic trends over the last 75 years. Despite regional warming, there was increasing precipitation during the growing period at the southern site (MIN) but increasing water deficit (WD) at the northern site (BER). Intrinsic water use efficiency (WUE i ) increased similarly (ca. 22%) in response to warming and rising atmospheric CO 2 . However, the steady increase in WUE i was accompanied by divergent growth patterns since 1980: increasing basal area increment (BAI) in MIN (slope = 0.102 cm 2 year −2 ) and decreasing BAI in BER (slope = −0.129 cm 2 year −2 ). This suggests that increased precipitation, mediated by CO 2 effects, promoted growth in MIN, whereas intensified drought stress led to decreased carbon gain and productivity in BER. When compared to warm-dry stands of eastern Spain, the WUE i dependence on WD was three-fold greater in Siberia. Conversely, BAI was more affected by the relative impact of water stress within each region. These results indicate contrasting future trajectories of P. sylvestris forests, which challenge forecasting growth and carbon sequestration in cold-dry areas.
