Fire is necessary for the persistence of larch forests, but fire can also alter forest stand composition and structure, with important implications for permafrost and carbon and albedo climate feedbacks. Long-term records show that burned area has increased in Siberian larch forests over the past several decades, and extreme climate conditions in recent years have led to record burned areas. Such increases in burn area have the potential to restructure larch ecosystems, yet the fire regime in this remote region is not well understood. Here, we investigated how landscape position, geographic climate variation, and interannual climate variability from 2001 to 2020 affected total burn area, the number of fires, and fire size in Siberian larch forests. The number of fires was positively correlated with metrics of drought (for example, vapor pressure deficit), while fire size was negatively correlated with precipitation in the previous year. Spatial variation in fire size was primarily controlled by landscape position, with larger fires occurring in relatively flat, low-elevation areas with high levels of soil organic carbon. Given that climate change is increasing both vapor pressure deficit and precipitation across the region, our results suggest that future climate change could result in more but smaller fires. Additionally, increasing variability in precipitation could lead to unprecedented extremes in fire size, with future burned area dependent on the magnitude and timing of concurrent increases in temperature and precipitation.</p>","PeriodicalId":11406,"journal":{"name":"Ecosystems","volume":"851 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142218603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In seeders dominated environments, recovery is gradual, with services like carbon sequestration and soil quality taking up to 87 years to regain 90% of their capacity post-high-intensity fires. Conversely, resprouters dominated systems show rapid regrowth, with carbon sequestration recovering in as little as 23 years following similar disturbances. Our findings highlight the variable recovery timelines across different ES. Pollination and wild plants display remarkable resilience, with recovery times not exceeding 2 years regardless of fire severity. However, provisioning services such as game provision exhibit lower resilience, requiring up to 67 years for recovery. Cultural services, reflecting emblematic and symbolic values, demonstrate greater resilience, with recovery spanning 3 to 51 years.

Compost applications generally increase net primary production (NPP) and soil water-holding capacity and may stimulate soil carbon (C) sequestration. Questions remain regarding the effects of compost nitrogen (N) concentrations and application rates on soil C and greenhouse gas dynamics. In this study, we explored the effects of compost with different initial N quality (food waste versus green waste compost) on soil greenhouse gas fluxes, aboveground biomass, and soil C and N pools in a fire-impacted annual grassland ecosystem. Composts were applied annually once, twice, or three times prior to the onset of the winter rainy season. A low-intensity fire event after the first growing season also allowed us to explore how compost-amended grasslands respond to burning events, which are expected to increase with climate change. After four growing seasons, all compost treatments significantly increased soil C pools from 9.5 ± 0.9 to 30.2 ± 0.7 Mg C ha<sup>−1</sup> (0–40 cm) and 19.5 ± 0.9 to 40.1 ± 0.7 Mg C ha<sup>−1</sup> (0–40 cm) relative to burned and unburned controls, respectively. Gains exceeded the compost-C applied, representing newly fixed C. The higher N food waste compost treatments yielded more cumulative soil C (5.2–10.9 Mg C ha<sup>−1</sup>) and aboveground biomass (0.19–0.66 Mg C ha<sup>−1</sup>) than the lower N green waste compost treatments, suggesting greater N inputs further increased soil stocks. The three-time green waste application increased soil C and N stocks relative to a single application of either compost. There was minimal impact on net ecosystem greenhouse gas emissions. Aboveground biomass accumulation was higher in all compost treatments relative to controls, likely due to increased water-holding capacity and N availability. Results show that higher N compost resulted in larger C gains with little offset from greenhouse gas emissions and that compost amendments may help mediate effects of low-intensity fire by increasing fertility and water-holding capacity.</p>","PeriodicalId":11406,"journal":{"name":"Ecosystems","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141942160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consistent seasonal patterns of organic matter transport showed a remarkable longitudinal increase downstream, similar to observed aerobic respiration in sediments. Notably, high-flow events doubled observed seasonal transport (mean DOC load: 2344 ± 735 kg/day). Irregular spatial storage patterns between dry and wet channel sections were related to land use and flow intermittency. Notably, storage in dry channel sections was generally ten times higher than wet sections.

However, few measurements of forest nitrogen uptake rates are available due to the intensive labor required to collect in situ data. Here, we seek to optimize data collection efforts by identifying measurements that must be made in situ and those that can be omitted or approximated from databases. We estimated nitrogen uptake rates in 18 mature monodominant forest stands comprising 13 species of diverse taxonomy at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL, USA. We measured all nitrogen concentrations, foliage allocation, and fine root biomass in situ. We estimated wood biomass increments by in situ stem diameter and stem core measurements combined with allometric equations. We estimated fine root turnover rates from database values. We analyzed similar published data from monodominant forest FACE sites. At least in monodominant forests, accurate estimates of forest nitrogen uptake rates appear to require in situ measurements of fine root productivity and are appreciably better paired with in situ measurements of foliage productivity. Generally, wood productivity and tissue nitrogen concentrations may be taken from trait databases at higher taxonomic levels. Careful sorting of foliage or fine roots to species is time consuming but has little effect on estimates of nitrogen uptake rate.
