Decrease in Soil Functionalities and Herbs' Diversity, but Not That of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi, Linked to Short Fire Interval in Semi-Arid Oak Forest Ecosystem, West Iran

Javad Mirzaei et al.

Summary: The effects of short fire intervals on soil properties, herbaceous plant and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) community diversity were assessed in the semi-arid forest ecosystems dominated by Quercus brantii in western Iran. The fires had negative impacts on soil organic matter, nitrogen concentrations, microbial respiration, biomass carbon, substrate-induced respiration, urease enzyme activity, and AMF's Shannon diversity. One fire increased herb community diversity, but two fires decreased it. The short-interval fires depleted soil functional properties and reduced herb diversity, posing the risk of collapse in this semi-arid oak forest ecosystem.

Developing a soil quality index model for assessing landscape-level soil quality along a toposequence in almond orchards using factor analysis

Fayez Raiesi et al.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a soil quality index (SQI) model for assessing topsoil quality in a commercial almond plantation. Four out of 16 soil properties, including microbial biomass carbon, and available forms of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, were identified as the most representative indicators for the minimum data set. The results showed a relatively high spatial variability of soil quality along the toposequence, with backslope positions exhibiting the lowest soil quality due to surface soil movement and water erosion.

Once upon a time biomass burning in the western Alps: Nesting effects of climate and local drivers on long-term subalpine fires

Christopher Carcaillet et al.

Summary: This study questions the importance of local and large-scale processes on the dynamics of fire in the subalpine belt in the western Alps. The results show that climate is the main driver of fire occurrence, while local conditions play a minimal role in determining variability at the century scale. The mid-Holocene was a key period for climate-driven biomass burning, while fires during the late Holocene appear to be more episodic, suggesting the influence of human activity.

The influence of growth types on soil properties along an elevation gradient in a semi-arid oak forest

Masoud Bazgir et al.

Summary: In semi-arid environments like Zagros in western Iran, soil properties are affected by vegetation cover, especially tree species. This research investigated three oak growth types and their impact on soil properties across an elevation gradient. The study found that soil nutrients, carbon sequestration, soil moisture, and microbial activities were lower in open areas compared to areas with vegetation cover at all elevations. The type of oak growth significantly influenced soil properties, with the old seed-origin type being the most favorable for soil fertility.

Rainfall continentality, via the winter Gams angle, provides a new dimension to biogeographical distributions in the western United States

Richard Michalet et al.

Summary: The study aims to differentiate between summer water balance and winter rainfall continentality in order to better understand how climate affects the distribution of woody plants in the western USA. The findings suggest that rainfall continentality measured with the winter Gams index is a more precise metric than summer water balance for studying the biogeography of woody plants in the region. Integrating the Gams index of continentality into plant distributions may improve our understanding and predictions of responses to climate change in the future.

Tree-rings, genetics and the environment: Complex interactions at the rear edge of species distribution range

Johann M. Housset et al.

Summary: The response of annual tree growth to climate in Pinus cembra at its southern limit in the Alps is primarily determined by site-specific climatic and environmental factors. Genetic diversity has limited effects on tree-ring formation, and the genetic background of Pinus cembra only has indirect modulating power within this population, suggesting limited adaptive capacity to future changes in water balance.

Retrospective analysis of wood anatomical traits and tree-ring isotopes suggests site-specific mechanisms triggering Araucaria araucana drought-induced dieback

Paulina F. Puchi et al.

Summary: The study revealed that Northern Patagonia experienced severe drought from 2010 to 2018, leading to growth decline and dieback of many trees. The specific roles of hydraulic failure and carbon starvation, the two major mechanisms driving tree dieback, remain unclear in this dry region. Examination of wood traits and isotopes in the iconic conifer Araucaria araucana showed that declining trees had lower hydraulic conductivity and a long-lasting process of hydraulic deterioration compared to nondeclining trees, suggesting a risk of long-term hydraulic failure and carbon starvation.
