Abstract

The role of the temperate mixed broadleaf-Korean pine forest (BKF) in global biogeochemical cycles will depend on how the tree species community responds to climate; however, species-specific responses and vulnerabilities of common trees in BKF to extreme climates are poorly understood. Here we used dendrochronological methods to assess radial growth of seven main tree species (Pinus koraiensis, Picea jezoensis, Abies nephrolepis, Fraxinus mandshurica, Phellodendron amurense, Quercus mongolica, and Ulmus davidiana) in an old-growth BKF in response to climate changes in the Xiaoxing’an Mountains and to improve predictions of changes in the tree species composition. Temperature in most months and winter precipitation significantly negatively affected growth of P. jezoensis and A. nephrolepis, but positively impacted growth of P. koraiensis and the broadleaf species, especially F. mandshurica and U. davidiana. Precipitation and relative humidity in June significantly positively impacted the growth of most tree species. The positive effect of the temperature during the previous non-growing season (PNG) on growth of F. mandshurica and Q. mongolica strengthened significantly with rapid warming around 1981, while the impact of PNG temperature on the growth of P. jezoensis and A. nephrolepis changed from significantly negative to weakly negative or positive at this time. The negative response of radial growth of P. jezoensis and A. nephrolepis to precipitation during the growing season gradually weakened, and the negative response to PNG precipitation was enhanced. Among the studied species, P. koraiensis was the most resistant to drought, and U. davidiana recovered the best after extreme drought. Ulmus davidiana, P. jezoensis and A. nephrolepis were more resistant to extreme cold than the other species. Climate warming generally exacerbated the opposite growth patterns of conifer (decline) and broadleaf (increase) species. Deciduous broadleaf tree species in the old-growth BKF probably will gradually become dominant as warming continues. Species-specific growth-climate relationships should be considered in future models of biogeochemical cycles and in forestry management practices.

中国东北阔叶-朝鲜松混交林中七个树种径向生长的长期变化：气候变化是否有利于落叶树？

摘要温带阔叶混交林-韩国松林（BKF）在全球生物地球化学循环中的作用将取决于树种群落对气候的反应；然而，人们对BKF中常见树种对极端气候的特定反应和脆弱性知之甚少。在此，我们采用树枝年代学方法评估了小兴安岭老树种BKF中七个主要树种（柯赖松、桢楠、鹅掌楸、黄檗、槲树和榆树）的径向生长对气候变化的响应，并改进了对树种组成变化的预测。大部分月份的气温和冬季降水对 P. jezoensis 和 A. nephrolepis 的生长有显著的负面影响，但对 P. koraiensis 和阔叶树种，尤其是 F. mandshurica 和 U. davidiana 的生长有正面影响。6 月份的降水量和相对湿度对大多数树种的生长有显著的积极影响。随着 1981 年前后气温的迅速升高，前一个非生长季（PNG）的温度对 F. mandshurica 和 Q. mongolica 生长的积极影响明显增强，而此时 PNG 温度对 P. jezoensis 和 A. nephrolepis 生长的影响则从显著负向转变为弱负向或正向。在生长季节，P. jezoensis 和 A. nephrolepis 的径向生长对降水的负响应逐渐减弱，而对巴新降水的负响应增强。在所研究的物种中，P. koraiensis 的抗旱性最强，U. davidiana 在极端干旱后恢复得最好。与其他物种相比，Ulmus davidiana、P. jezoensis 和 A. nephrolepis 对极端寒冷的抵抗力更强。气候变暖普遍加剧了针叶树种（减少）和阔叶树种（增加）相反的生长模式。随着气候变暖的持续，落叶阔叶树种可能会逐渐在古老的 BKF 中占据主导地位。在未来的生物地球化学循环模型和林业管理实践中，应考虑特定物种的生长与气候之间的关系。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Forestry Research (JFR), founded in 1990, is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal in English. JFR has rapidly emerged as an international journal published by Northeast Forestry University and Ecological Society of China in collaboration with Springer Verlag. The journal publishes scientific articles related to forestry for a broad range of international scientists, forest managers and practitioners.The scope of the journal covers the following five thematic categories and 20 subjects: Basic Science of Forestry, Forest biometrics, Forest soils, Forest hydrology, Tree physiology, Forest biomass, carbon, and bioenergy, Forest biotechnology and molecular biology, Forest Ecology, Forest ecology, Forest ecological services, Restoration ecology, Forest adaptation to climate change, Wildlife ecology and management, Silviculture and Forest Management, Forest genetics and tree breeding, Silviculture, Forest RS, GIS, and modeling, Forest management, Forest Protection, Forest entomology and pathology, Forest fire, Forest resources conservation, Forest health monitoring and assessment, Wood Science and Technology, Wood Science and Technology.
