Does aridity modulate species mixing effects on growth response to drought in pine-oak forests in Mediterranean mountains?
Forest management faces important challenges for the adaptation of Mediterranean ecosystems to more frequent and severe extreme droughts. Tree species mixing is seen as a key strategy to enhance long-term forest resilience. However, the evidence of positive effects on tree response to droughts is limited and context dependent. Here, we analyzed whether the effect of species mixing on tree growth response to extreme drought events was modulated by site aridity and drought intensity. For this, we selected mixed and monospecific stands of Quercus pyrenaica Willd. and Pinus sylvestris L. along an environmental gradient in mountains in central Spain and quantified growth stability to extreme droughts using dendrochronological methods. Oaks showed greater growth resilience and recovery in mixed than in monospecific stands, while pines showed greater resistance but lower recovery. The effect of species mixing was not related to site aridity, yet we found a trend toward more positive effects of admixture on pine resistance to drought in more arid sites. Both species showed a strong trade-off between resistance and recovery, but recovery cannot compensate for low resistance in pines pointing to the importance of ameliorating drought impacts. Our results emphasize that diversifying monospecific stands with functionally different species can enhance growth stability in drought prone forests. This study can also help forest managers to prioritize areas where diversifying monospecific stands could generate more positive outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Forest Ecology and Management publishes scientific articles linking forest ecology with forest management, focusing on the application of biological, ecological and social knowledge to the management and conservation of plantations and natural forests. The scope of the journal includes all forest ecosystems of the world.
A peer-review process ensures the quality and international interest of the manuscripts accepted for publication. The journal encourages communication between scientists in disparate fields who share a common interest in ecology and forest management, bridging the gap between research workers and forest managers.
We encourage submission of papers that will have the strongest interest and value to the Journal''s international readership. Some key features of papers with strong interest include:
1. Clear connections between the ecology and management of forests;
2. Novel ideas or approaches to important challenges in forest ecology and management;
3. Studies that address a population of interest beyond the scale of single research sites, Three key points in the design of forest experiments, Forest Ecology and Management 255 (2008) 2022-2023);
4. Review Articles on timely, important topics. Authors are welcome to contact one of the editors to discuss the suitability of a potential review manuscript.
The Journal encourages proposals for special issues examining important areas of forest ecology and management. Potential guest editors should contact any of the Editors to begin discussions about topics, potential papers, and other details.
