“…Additionally, topography is a major factor in the growth of Quercus species that are dependent on dominant coverage (Son et al, 2002). In this process, the difference in sprouting ability of each oak species was affected by geographical location which is consistent with previous articles (Swaim et al, 2016;Dinh et al, 2019).…”

Background : Forest fire is a natural phenomenon that is very important to afforestation in the secondary succession process. Approximately 349.7 M ha yr -1 of forest had been lost due to forest fire in the world. In Republic of Korea, the forest fires occur at a rate of approximately 400 events yr -1 , and burned areas are mainly located on the eastern coast. In the eastern coastal region, pine forest is widely distributed, and pine forest is changed to oak forest through stump sprout regeneration following forest fires. However, there is a lack of research on oak competition during regeneration in burned areas. Therefore, this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of species composition and the survival ratio of Quercus serrata , Quercus variabilis , and Quercus mongolica in burned areas. The investigation plots were set to investigate tree growth, survival, and composition in Goseong-gun, Republic of Korea. Results : The mean tree heights of Q. serrata and Q. variabilis were approximately 9.8 m and 9.1 m, respectively, which were higher than the approximately 5.8 m heights of Q. mongolica stands 18 years after a forest fire, and the trend for tree diameter at breast height was the same for all three species. In the early stage of regeneration, the survival probability of the Q. serrata sprouts rapidly decreased at a rate 1.7-2.0 times higher than that of other oak species in the Q. serrata -dominant stands. The median survival time of Q. variabilis sprouts in the Q. variabilis -dominant stands was approximately 10.1 years, which was similar to Q. serrata -dominant stands. However, the dominant stand of Q. mongolica was different from that of other dominant stands due to different topography and soil environments located in the ridge and the upper part of the mountain. Conclusion : Dominant species decision seems to be determined by the survival and occurrence of sprouts during the early stage in postfire regenerated oak forests. Therefore, it would be more desirable to coppice sprout for dominant species productivity and rapid dominance after a forest fire.

“…The height growth in low density stump sprouts was higher than that in high density (Dinh et al, 2019). In addition, the coppice management effect in the early stage before few after thinning on Q. variabilis forest increased productivity more than in the later stage (Wang, 2013).…”

“…Several studies have found a negative effect of stump diameter on stump survival [32,33]. A converse tendency in stump survival was observed in other species [17,18,34]. However, the stump diameter had no significant effect on stump survival in the present study.…”

“…However, the effect of stump diameter on sprouting has been quite variable in other studies. Dinh et al [34] observed that the growth parameters (diameter and length) of dominant sprouts were not significantly affected by stump diameter in two oak trees. Hytönen [17] found that the number of sprouts per living stump did not increase any more when the stump diameter in the two oldest age classes exceeded 5 cm.…”

Shrub willow (Salix L. spp.) is a promising bioenergy resource crop due to its high growth rates and superb regenerative ability. Sprouting capacity is influenced by many factors, such as parent tree species and size, which are important limiting factors for stump survival or sprout growth. In this study, we aimed to quantify the survival and regeneration performance of sprouts (including sprout height, sprout diameter, sprout number, leaf morphological traits, leaf chlorophyll content, and ground part dry biomass) from the stumps of two Salix species from three diameter classes (10–15, 16–19, and 20–30 mm). An attempt was made to explore why the stump size affects the regeneration of willows by analyzing the carbon and nitrogen proportion of stumps. Stump survival did not differ between the two Salix species. However, the sprout regeneration of S. triandra was much better than that of S. suchowensis. An increase in stump diameter caused increases in the number of sprouts produced per stump, the mean height and basal diameter of sprouts per stump, the leaf chlorophyll content, and the biomass of sprouts per stump. By contrast, stump diameter did not significantly affect stump survival. The results indicate that the larger stumps store more carbon and nitrogen than small-sized stumps, which may be one of the reasons why the larger willow stumps have a stronger resprouting ability. This study provides essential information regarding the sprout regeneration of short-rotation coppice willow plantations after harvest.

“…However, despite the high frequency of resprouting trees in disturbed broadleaved forests 24 , their role in post-disturbance forest dynamics and diversity is poorly understood. In addition, resprouting is a key regeneration mode in short-rotation coppicing 25,26 , the oldest silvicultural management in the world, which has become an increasingly popular tool to support biodiversity in temperate forests 16,[27][28][29] but the relationship between sprout abundance and understory plant diversity remains poorly understood.…”

Resprouting trees drive understory vegetation dynamics following logging in a temperate forest

Removal of canopy trees by logging causes shifts in herbaceous diversity and increases invasibility of the forest understory. However, disturbed (cut) trees of many species do not die but resprout from remaining parts. Because sprouts develop vigorously immediately after disturbances, we hypothesized that sprouts of logged trees offset the changes in species richness and invasibility of the herbaceous layer by eliminating the rise in the resource availability during the time before regeneration from seeds develops. To test this, we analyzed data on herbaceous vegetation and sprout biomass collected in a broadleaved temperate forest in the Czech Republic before and for 6 years after logging. Sprouts that were produced by most of the stumps of logged trees offset large rises in species richness and cover of herbaceous plants and the resource availability that followed logging, but they affected the alien plants more significantly than the native plants. The sprouting canopy effectually eliminated most of the alien species that colonized the forest following a logging event. These findings indicate that in forests dominated by tree species with resprouting ability, sprouts drive the early post-disturbance dynamics of the herbaceous layer. By offsetting the post-disturbance vegetation shifts, resprouting supports forest resilience.
