Full textWorks aimed to evaluate windthrow resistance and susceptibility for black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) stands of regular and irregular structure are presented here. Performed tree pulling works permitted to evaluate the critical bending moment in order to quantify the resistance of trees to overturning and stem breakage. Different models where fitted to the data. The critical bending moment is function of stem weight in all cases and influenced by the structure type or the height:diameter ratio in some cases. These results on mechanical resistance, along with crown modelling results and other adjustments, were used in an adaptation of the ForestGALES model in order to quantify windthrow susceptibility. Susceptibility appears to be quite variable between compared stands, both between and within structure types, but average tree spacing and height:diameter ratio explain most of the observed variability.

Full textCette étude vise à décrire l’état naturel des communautés de huit familles de coléoptères saproxyliques, reconnues pour être associées aux brûlis, à partir d’un échantillonnage fait au niveau des souches et à l’intérieur de peuplements commerciaux d’épinettes noires (Picea mariana (Mill)) résiduels à la coupe de récupération (état naturel) provenant de brûlis de 1995, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009 et 2010. L’étude vise également à comparer ces communautés à celles retrouvées dans des peuplements d’épinettes noires récupérés et répartis dans les brûlis de 1995, 2003, 2005 et 2007. Les coléoptères ont été inventoriés durant l’été 2010 et plus de 6 000 spécimens répartis dans les huit familles étudiées ont été capturés. À l’état naturel, quatre phases de colonisation se sont succédées pendant les cinq premières années après feu. Les assemblages des communautés de coléoptères saproxyliques sont quant à eux altérés par la récupération et ce, pour une période d’au moins sept ans.
This study aims to describe the natural state of communities of eight saproxylic beetle families known to be associated with burned forest from a sample done at stump level and in commercial black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill)) stands residual to salvage logging (natural state) from burns of 1995, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2010. The study also aims to compare these communities to those found in salvaged black spruce stands distributed in burns of 1995, 2003, 2005 and 2007. Beetles were sampled during summer 2010 and over 6 000 specimens among the eight studied families were captured. In its natural state, four colonization phases have succeeded along the first five postfire years. Saproxylic beetle assemblages were affected by salvage logging for a period of seven years.

Full textThe objectives of this project were to evaluate the effects of stand origin on lumber grade yield, MSR yield and bending properties and to describe the variability of wood mechanical and physical properties at different hierarchical levels in black spruce. The results indicate that a similar percentage of lumber pieces are graded as No.2 and better in logged stands, but this percentage is 20% lower than in burned stand. The MSR grades yield in logged stands is similar to that from natural stands but partial-cut origin stand has less lumber in superior MSR class due to lower bending properties. For all properties studied the between stands variance is much less important than within stand variance. Moreover, inter-tree variance component of MOE and MOR are lower than intra-tree variance. The stands that showed a more important DBH variance and asymmetrical competition present more important inter-tree variance in wood mechanical properties.

Full textWildfire is a major driver of carbon dynamics in boreal forests. Immediate effects of wildfires include partial consumption of aboveground biomass and the forest floor, and carbon emissions to the atmosphere. Wildfires can also have long-term effect on carbon cycling. Indeed, when resilience of burned forests is exceeded, regenerating ecosystems differ from that of the pre-fire stands in composition, structure and biogeochemical cycles. Predictive models of carbon dynamics in boreal forests rarely take into account such multiple post-fire successional trajectories, which could bias long-term predictions of carbon storage and emissions. This study examined post-fire ecosystem resilience and carbon dynamics of black spruce-feathermoss forests of Quebec. Regeneration of black spruce, jack pine and understory plant communities were inventoried three to five years after the occurrence of a three-year episode of major fire activity in the province. In the studied plots, low burn severity had left intact a thick residual organic layer that impeded black spruce establishment. As a result, stem density of the burned stand decreased, while jack pine became dominant. Ericales resprouted abundantly. Understory regeneration was mainly driven by pre-fire site and stand characteristics. Post-fire understory composition reflected pre-fire species assemblages, because biological legacies were preserved by the low-severity fires. A model was used to simulate wildfires, succession and carbon dynamics at the landscape level, in order to assess the influence of forest floor combustion and post-fire tree regeneration on carbon cycling. After 500 years of simulation, modelling of burn severity and its influence on post-fire tree establishment caused a 13% decrease in predicted landscape carbon stocks. Simulation of the forest floor combustion alone caused a lower decrease in predicted carbon stocks than simulation of low spruce regeneration rates. Modelled fire emissions were mainly driven by variations in annual area burned. Loss of resilience of black spruce-feathermoss forests can have long-term consequences on carbon stocks. The model used in the present study could be further improved by incorporating explicit simulation of understory species dynamics.

Full textIn order to better figure out the ongoing transition of the boreal forest in northern Quebec and to identify the responsible factors, this thesis studied the dynamics, stability and resilience of the two forest ecosystems at stake, over time. These ecosystems, the closed-canopy dense moss forest and the open lichen woodland, share the same dominant tree species (black spruce, Picea mariana). The thesis focused on the development of innovative geochemical tools in palaeoecological studies that could track present and past terrestrial ecosystem structure and composition, and then focused on the reconstruction of past fire regimes through lacustrine charcoal analyses. A first step demonstrated that the soils of both ecosystems displayed distinct physical and chemical properties and are maintained by the feedback interactions in the soil-vegetation-climate system. The second step showed that modern sediments of study lakes recorded variations in their chemical composition depending on whether they were surrounded by moss forest or lichen woodland. Using the so calibrated geochemical proxies, the third chapter reconstructed the vegetation and fire histories during the Holocene. A major disruption in ecosystem structure was evidenced 4500-4000 years calibrated before present and led to the conclusion of a boreal forest opening at that time due to an increase in fire frequency. The precariousness of the present states stability is discussed in light with the current context of fire increase in the study region and suggests that forest management should be adapted consequently

Full textCarbon dioxide emissions from human activities are changing the Earth’s climate. The boreal forest contains enormous carbon (C) stocks and hence it plays a critical role in the global C cycle. Black spruce ecosystems are the dominant cover type in the North American boreal forest, thus it is necessary to understand their response to both climate variability and to ecological disturbances such as forest harvest so as to identify the factors influencing C exchange between the biosphere and the atmosphere. The first research chapter (Chap. 3) of this thesis presents a comparison of C exchange for three old black spruce ecosystems located in different regions of Canada. This study showed that warmer soil under deeper snowpack in winter and low light levels in June at the eastern Canada site, which are common conditions in that region, reduced C sequestration relative to that of similar ecosystems in central Canada. Furthermore, a general parameterization at a monthly time resolution was sufficient for characterizing the physiological response of all three black spruce ecosystems to environmental conditions. In the second research chapter (Chap. 4), the C balance and the response of C exchange to environmental conditions of a mature and a recently harvested black spruce site in eastern Canada were quantified. The C balance of these black spruce ecosystems was more affected by their respective developmental stage than by inter-annual climate variability. The response of C exchange to environmental factors showed a greater between- and within-year variability at the harvested site due to the dynamic structure of the vegetation. The third research chapter (Chap. 5) examined forest floor C exchange for a mature black spruce site in eastern Canada measured on different microsites. Soil respiration and forest floor photosynthesis accounted for 76-88% and 16-17% of total ecosystem respiration photosynthesis, respectively. The observed differences of the response of soil respiration to environmental factors suggest that microsite can reflect the spatial variability of soil respiration. All three of these studies provide valuable information for parameterizing and modeling the response of boreal forests to climate variability and to ecological disturbance.

Full textBoreal black spruce forests (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) store great amounts of carbon in the living biomass and in the soil. Fire regime characteristics (e.g. fire return interval, fire intensity, fire season and severity) play a central role in the storage and flow of carbon, by modifying the distribution and transfer of material among pools. There is little doubt in the scientific community that climate change will cause changes in the temporal and spatial variables that control the frequency and severity of fires. A demographic diameter-class structured model was developed to simulate boreal carbon storage under different fire regimes. This approach incorporates the effect of fire intensity and stand structure measures to simulate fire severity, measured as the proportion of overstory tree mortality. The model allows quantifying and mapping average regional estimates of current and future carbon stocks for the black spruce-feathermoss bioclimatic domain of northern Québec. Simulation results suggest that fire severity increases with fire the intensity. Stand structure is one of the factors that explains the observed variation in boreal fire severity. We simulated carbon stocks and fluxes under seven levels of fire return interval (FRI) and two fire seasons. We tested for an effect of these parameters on average carbon stocks. Carbon stocks were sensitive to IRF's between 60 and 300 years. Soil C stocks were lower for summer fires that occurred during shorter IRF. Finally, we investigated the short-term impacts of climate change under four climatic periods: 1980-2010, 2010-2040, 2040-2070 and 2070-2100. Historical and future FRI maps and historical and forecasted weather data estimated by CanESM2 RCP8.5 were used to drive the growth of forests, decomposition rates, fire regime and C dynamics. In our simulation experiments, the accumulation of carbon in the ecosystem was reduced by 11% by the end of 2100. The results of this study suggest that black spruce forest could be losing their capacity to sequester and store organic C over the next coming decades due to climate change effects on the fire regime and on forest growth.

Full textMosaic cut is one of the patterns used in Québec forest management to reduce the impacts of clearcutting and to increase the retention of mature forest. However, the global effect of mosaic cut pattern on windthrow losses has yet to be gauged. The aim of this research is to define the impact of the dispersion cut pattern on winthrow losses and to identify the variables that have an incidence on winthrow within forest edges. The study area was 150 km north of lac Saint-Jean (Québec, Canada) in even aged black spruce forest. Windthrow was inventoried in edges of conventionnal cut and in edges of mosaic cut with experimental plots of 10 meters large and 50 meters long. A cartographic survey was also conducted. Thus, windthrow photo interpretation in edges was done using 1: 10 000 scaled photos. After the analyses, spacing, height, edge type, species composition and diameter turned out to explain significantly windthrow at the edge scale. Photo interpretation data allowed the estimation of windthrow losses for each cut pattern. Within 30 meters inside the edges, losses are 10% more important on the conventional cut pattern. Consequences for management are then discussed.

Full textQuebec has recently embarked on the transition toward ecosystem management, which is la type of forest management that is based on the emulation of natural disturbances in order to decrease the impacts of timber harvesting on the ecosystem. By mimicking natural disturbances in severity, frequency and intensity, ecosystem management aims at keeping the ecosystem within the limits of its natural variability. In the black spruce forest, where the main natural disturbance is wildfire, ecosystem management is implemented in the form of extensive harvests in which all mature trees are cut. While this form of management has a strong environmental component, it faces social acceptability challenges given that people generally dislike large-scale clearcutting. Therefore, the long-term success of ecosystem management in the boreal black spruce forest will depend on the degree to which it can respond to and adapt to the population’s values where required. The population maintains a wide range of relationships with this ecosystem and can be divided into three main groups: forest users, stakeholders involved in a participative planning process, and unaffiliated and uninformed members of the general public. This research project investigates the diverse perceptions of ecosystem management held by each of these three groups. Conducted as a survey, the first part of the study examined the visual acceptability of ecosystemic sylvicultural treatments, and found that certain variable retention treatments were considered to be able to mitigate the agglomerations’ visual impacts in the middle ground. Then, the acceptability of ecosystem management strategy, as already implemented as a pilot project, is explored for the stakeholders by means of individual interviews. Here, ecosystem management, as a strategy for the black spruce forest, was well received, especially in comparison to the available alternatives and despite a high demand for adjustments in the case of controlled wildlife territories. Finally, the social perception of the ecosystem management strategy for unaffiliated and uninformed general public type people is explored through focus groups. Results show that participants were able to fully understand the theoretical basis of ecosystem management and to identify milestones enabling to build the strategy’s social acceptability for the black spruce forest.

Full textRegeneration in logging trails following irregular shelterwood cutting was assessed in Quebec’s boreal forest. In each of five sites, a regeneration inventory was carried out and study plots were installed for this evaluation. Two years after harvest, average regeneration density and stocking in logging trails were 10 780 stems•ha-1 and 77%, respectively. Regeneration density was negatively affected by increasing slash cover across all study sites. Seedling establishment was influenced by direct seeding, position within the logging trail, and substrate type. Environmental conditions were adequate: light availability was sufficient and severe soil compaction was limited. Direct seeding was not very effective on these sites, but the planted black spruce stock responded well. Results suggest that regeneration in logging trails was abundant and well distributed in the first two years after harvest.

Full textEricaceous shrubs are known to impair black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) [B.S.P.]) growth by creating a strong competition for below and aboveground resources. Opening of the forest canopy with harvest can intensify this competition and lead to enroachment of ericaceous shrub. Our objective was to explain, through evaluation response of functional traits, ericaceous potential enroachment after logging and stagnant growth of black spruce advance regeneration in the Quebec’s eastern black spruce-feathermoss sub-domain. The first chapter demonstrated the rapid acclimation of bog Labrador tea (Rhododendron groenlandicum [Oeder] Kron & Judd) to higher light availability created by logging, especially in the more intense treatements, through a modification of both physiological leaf traits. On the other hand, black spruce leaf traits did not respond to changes in environement associated with logging; this may indicate either an absence or a delay in acclimation. In a second field experiment, black spruce photosynthetic rate was negatively influenced by ericaceous shrub presence on the cutting area, regardless of the site fertility quality. The lower photosynthesis rate of black spruce, when associated with ericaceous shrubs, could be resulting of a lower mineral soil nitrogen availability created by a greater belowground competition for ressources form the ericaceous shrubs. A third experiment under greenhouse conditions showed that Rhododendron and Kalmia leaf mass per unit of area (LMA) was reduced by shading, but was similar for black spruce. There were few differences in trait response to N addition among species. Black spruce showed higher absorption rate and specific absorption rate at higher N levels, compared to the two ericads. Plasticity to light was higher for Kalmia (except for LMA) and plasticity for nitrogen addition was higher for Rhododendron black spruce suggesting that trait plasticity is in accordance with successional status of these species.

Consequences for management are then discussed.
