Abandoned pastures have great potential for natural regeneration and therefore could play an important role in meeting the enormous demand for forest restoration. Few studies, however, have investigated the extent to which spatially-structured environmental variables and community structure are correlated with the variation in species abundance of regenerating forests on abandoned pastures. Therefore, we aimed to determine whether environmental and spatial variables were capable of explaining the variation in abundance of woody species on abandoned pastures in the subtropical Atlantic Forest. We systematically distributed 45 sample plots with size and inclusion criteria that changed according to the vegetation layer in three different abandoned pastures. In general, most of the variation in species abundance that our models were able to explain was correlated with spatially-unstructured physical-chemical soil properties. A smaller part of the variation was correlated with spatially-structured soil variables and topography-related variables. An even smaller portion of the variation was spatially-structured but was not correlated with spatially-structured environmental variables. Therefore, our results suggest that the variation in species abundance of regenerating subtropical Atlantic forests on abandoned pastures is more closely related to niche-based processes mediated by environmental variables than to stochastic spatial processes.","PeriodicalId":21939,"journal":{"name":"Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science","volume":"65 1","pages":"164 - 173"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91269011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was conducted in an 11-year-old P. taeda stand. The composition (bulk density, BD; degree-of-compactness, DC; total porosity, TP; macroporosity, Mac; microporosity, Mic) and functionality (saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks; mechanical resistance to penetration, PR) of the soil were evaluated at 0.00–0.10 m, 0.10–0.20 m, 0.20–0.30 m, and 0.30–0.40 m. The traffic intensities were pine stand before harvesting (PSF), after one pass of harvester followed by one (HV-FW1), three (HV-FW3), six (HV-FW6), and eight (HV-FW8) complete passes of the forwarder. The surface soil layer was more susceptible to compaction due to the change in BD and DC, but the pores were affected by machine traffic at depth (to at least 0.30 m). HV-FW1 provided the greatest changes in composition and functional properties compared to PSF. BD and DC at 0.00–0.10 m increased by approximately 20% in HV-FW1. Mac decreased and Mic increased in all layers, and the traffic effect decreased with increasing soil depth (to 0.30 m) and with increasing traffic intensity. Ks decreased in all layers after HV-FW1. An average decrease of 0.06 m3 m−3 in Mac in HV-FW1 provided a decrease in Ks of approximately 270 mm h−1 compared to PSF. Only the PR reached values considered limiting for plant growth (PR > 2.0 MPa). A gradual increase in the intensity of machine traffic affects soil properties, although the proportion of this effect generally decreased with increasing traffic intensity. Analysis of soil composition properties alone is not sufficient to assess the effects of traffic intensity on soil degradation because functional properties are more sensitive to the effects of machine traffic intensity.","PeriodicalId":21939,"journal":{"name":"Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science","volume":"2 1","pages":"148 - 163"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91040639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of the text classification was to classify articles into 15 themes. Each article was categorised in terms of the two main themes associated with the article. The analysis included 1 574 publications from 1941 to 2020 and confirmed that the journal’s change in name and aims were successful in increasing the number of international researchers publishing in the journal. The research institute co-occurrence network diagram illustrates that there are two main research collaboration clusters. The one surrounds Stellenbosch University, and the other encompasses several South African universities and research institutes. Mondi and Sappi were the companies that collaborated the most with independent research institutes. The keywords and theme analysis confirmed that the journal’s aim and scope were supported in the publications. The theme analysis also identified themes or aspects with very few publications.

In mountainous terrain timber harvesting is complex due to the risks and limitations that the terrain imposes on traditional forms of wood extraction. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effective time of work cycle, productivity, operational costs, and production costs of tree extraction by means of a farm tractor with winch, in two work crew compositions: Crew A: one tractor operator and a choker setter; and Crew B: one tractor operator and two choker setters. The study was implemented in the Vale do Ribeira region of south-eastern Brazil, using a full tree-harvesting system through a time and motion study under different conditions of extraction distance (6–135 m), log yard (5–241 m), and ground slope (7–37°). To evaluate the cycles, a regression analysis was conducted for each treatment, and subsequently compared using the Graybill F-test. Next, a regression with a dummy variable was performed. Crew B showed an average productivity of 13.54 m3; per productive machine hour (PMH), which was higher than the 9.50 m3; PMH−1 of Crew A. The operational costs were US$33.52 PMH−1 for Crew A, and US$44.24 PMH−1 for Crew B. Despite the higher operational cost with Crew B, the increase in productivity resulted in a lower production cost up until the scenario of 120 m of winching distance.","PeriodicalId":21939,"journal":{"name":"Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science","volume":"75 1","pages":"136 - 147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91088776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, dependence between observations can arise with this method, making it difficult to use classic statistics for evaluating an experiment. Therefore, our aims were to: evaluate the relationship between dendrometric variables (tree diameter, height and volume) and the available growing area; evaluate autocorrelation among the observations; and use multivariate analysis of the profiles of the clones for comparisons of the dendrometric variables. The data are from an experiment with four Nelder wheel plots of different Eucalyptus species clones of different ages, in the state of Tocantins, Brazil. Spearman’s rank correlation was applied to evaluate the relationship between the estimates of the studied variables and respective available growing area. Autocorrelation between the observations was evaluated with Moran’s I index. To analyse the profile behaviour of the clones, three questions were proposed: (1) Are there statistical differences between the estimations made for the different clones? (2) Are there differences between treatments applied in the experiment with the clones? (3) Is there interaction between clones and spacings? The main results show that multivariate profile analysis solved the autocorrelation problem in Nelder’s systematic design. Furthermore, we obtained answers as to differences between the growth variables diameter, volume and height among the clones at different spacings, whether there is a difference between the spacings for these variables, and whether there is an interaction between clones and spacings. The analysis method used for repeated measures is appropriate to evaluate trees in Nelder wheel trials.","PeriodicalId":21939,"journal":{"name":"Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science","volume":"190 1","pages":"101 - 112"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76099437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Uruguay, the low to medium fertility of the soils under forest production makes this aspect relevant.

In 29 sites located in the three main forest areas of the country, nine trees with average diameter at breast height (DBH) and height were harvested at eight to eleven years of age. The aerial biomass and nutrient uptake (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium) in commercial wood, bark, leaves and branches were quantified, and two nutrient use efficiency indexes (nutrient use efficiency and biological utilisation coefficient) were calculated. Although the zones offered different conditions for growth and nutrient uptake, E. dunnii presented the highest extraction of nutrients in commercial wood, considering all sites, these indexes being lower for E. dunnii. Therefore, when planting E. dunnii, its greater use of the soil’s resources must be considered, particularly in soils that are naturally less fertile. Likewise, E. grandis presented a greater extraction of cations than E. globulus because of more extensive growth.","PeriodicalId":21939,"journal":{"name":"Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science","volume":"27 1","pages":"123 - 135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87151761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted an inventory of mangrove stands to characterise forest stand structure and estimate carbon stocks in terms of aboveground biomass and soil carbon at two sites, Ferney and Pointe d’Esny. Different allometric equations relative to species (for areas dominated by Rhizophora mucronata or Bruguiera gymnorrhiza) were used for aboveground biomass, and the loss-on-ignition method was used for estimating soil carbon. The results showed that aboveground biomass ranged from 54.57 Mg ha−1 to 328.71 Mg ha−1, and soil carbon from 99.11 ± 18.35 Mg ha−1 to 133.45 ± 30.35 Mg ha−1.

By means of logistic regression, Path analysis, and non-metric multidimensional scaling, we related ruil seedling regeneration with percentage vegetative cover, number of ruil individuals, richness of native species, density of seedlings of the introduced species Pinus radiata D.

Seedling recruitment was present in 65% of the sites with low fire severity, but no recruitment was observed in sites severely burned by fire. The ecological implications of these findings suggest that after a high-severity fire, efforts to restore N. alessandrii should be concentrated on reforestation activities; however, in areas of low-severity burn, efforts must be focused on the management and protection of the new recruits.","PeriodicalId":21939,"journal":{"name":"Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science","volume":"15 1","pages":"75 - 82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87723156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
