On the degradation of forest ecosystems by extreme events: Statistical Model Checking of a hybrid model

Guillaume Cantin et al.

Summary: In this paper, we investigate the vulnerability of forest ecosystems to extreme events caused by climate change. We propose an original hybrid model that combines a continuous reaction-diffusion system with a discrete probabilistic process to capture the complex interactions between biological dynamics and climatic activity. The model is analyzed using the Statistical Model Checking framework, showing the existence of a threshold that compromises the persistence equilibrium of the forest ecosystem and providing numerical assessments of this threshold in terms of extreme event probability and intensity. We also identify parameter conditions that lead to a degraded savanna-like state in the forest ecosystem.

Emissions of CO2 from downed logs of different species and the surrounding soil in temperate forest

Ewa Blonska et al.

Summary: The decomposition of deadwood is crucial for the functioning of forest ecosystems. Research has shown that the respiration of decaying wood samples is 2-3 times lower compared to soil, regardless of wood type and degree of decomposition. Furthermore, more decomposed wood releases more CO2, with aspen and alder wood emitting the highest amount of CO2.

Carbon fractions in the world's dead wood

Adam R. Martin et al.

Summary: The study highlights the uncertainty in quantifying dead wood carbon pools globally due to a lack of accurate dead wood carbon fractions. By analyzing a global database, the study found that dead wood carbon fractions in trees average 48.5%, which deviates from the commonly used default value of 50%. Utilizing data-driven dead wood carbon fractions may help correct systematic overestimates in dead wood carbon stocks and provide more accurate global forest carbon estimation.
