Here we used dendrochronological methods to assess radial growth of seven main tree species (<em>Pinus koraiensis</em>, <em>Picea jezoensis</em>, <em>Abies nephrolepis</em>, <em>Fraxinus mandshurica</em>, <em>Phellodendron amurense</em>, <em>Quercus mongolica</em>, and <em>Ulmus davidiana</em>) 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 <em>P. jezoensis</em> and <em>A. nephrolepis</em>, but positively impacted growth of <em>P. koraiensis</em> and the broadleaf species, especially <em>F. mandshurica</em> and <em>U. davidiana</em>. 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 <em>F. mandshurica</em> and <em>Q. mongolica</em> strengthened significantly with rapid warming around 1981, while the impact of PNG temperature on the growth of <em>P. jezoensis</em> and <em>A. nephrolepis</em> changed from significantly negative to weakly negative or positive at this time. The negative response of radial growth of <em>P. jezoensis</em> and <em>A. nephrolepis</em> to precipitation during the growing season gradually weakened, and the negative response to PNG precipitation was enhanced. Among the studied species, <em>P. koraiensis</em> was the most resistant to drought, and <em>U. davidiana</em> recovered the best after extreme drought. <em>Ulmus davidiana</em>, <em>P. jezoensis</em> and <em>A. nephrolepis</em> 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.</p>","PeriodicalId":15830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forestry Research","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140590680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While susceptibility assessment using machine learning methods has increased, most studies have focused on a single disturbance. Moreover, there has been limited exploration of the use of “Automated Machine Learning (AutoML)” in the literature. In this study, susceptibility assessment for multiple forest disturbances (fires, insect damage, and wind damage) was conducted using the PyCaret AutoML framework in the Izmir Regional Forest Directorate (RFD) in Turkey. The AutoML framework compared 14 machine learning algorithms and ranked the best models based on AUC (area under the curve) values. The extra tree classifier (ET) algorithm was selected for modeling the susceptibility of each disturbance due to its good performance (AUC values > 0.98). The study evaluated susceptibilities for both individual and multiple disturbances, creating a total of four susceptibility maps using fifteen driving factors in the assessment. According to the results, 82.5% of forested areas in the Izmir RFD are susceptible to multiple disturbances at high and very high levels. Additionally, a potential forest disturbances map was created, revealing that 15.6% of forested areas in the Izmir RFD may experience no damage from the disturbances considered, while 54.2% could face damage from all three disturbances.

Anatomical investigation indicated that tension wood (TW) was characterized by eccentric growth of xylem and was enriched in cellulose; the degree of lignification was lower than for normal wood (NW) and opposite wood (OW).
