Top-down and bottom-up controls limit woody encroachment into persistent temperate rainforest meadows
<p><span>These data describe soils, woody plant seedlings, and ungulate herbivory in and around temperate montane meadows in the Oregon Coast Range, USA. Meadows such as these are a global study system for the accelerating phenomenon of woody encroachment, but study this phenomenon into meadows in western Oregon has been conducted almost entirely in the western and High Cascades, with only two extant observational studies of grassy balds in the Coast Range. These data describe factors limiting woody encroachment into meadows in the Oregon Coast Range, including bottom-up control by soil properties, plant-plant interactions, and top-down control by large herbivores.<b> </b>I measured chemical and physical properties of soils (depth of organic layer; bulk density of top 3 cm of mineral soil; and mineral soil profiles: particle size distribution, pH, % total C, % total N) to a depth of 50 cm in meadow and forest. I recorded community, density, and proportion browsed for shrubs, conifers, and deciduous trees ≤2 m tall along transects from meadow into forest. I experimentally planted 20 <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> (Douglas-fir) seedlings in each of five meadows (<em>n </em>= 100) and factorially manipulated aboveground neighboring plant presence and ungulate herbivore access. I found that m</span><span>eadow soils were lower in C and C:N; slightly lower in N, and similar in plant-available water (derived from particle size distribution) and pH relative to forest soils. Shrubs were most dense, but experienced the lowest browse pressure, near the meadow edge; while trees were sparse and varied by site—although at one site, browse pressure was heavier in meadow than forest. Seedling survival and growth varied by site, herbivory reduced growth, and total soil N best explained residual variation in seedling growth among sites.</span><span><b> </b>My findings indicate that ungulate herbivores exert top-down control on woody encroachment into temperate montane meadows, perhaps in concert with local N-limitation.</span></p>
Data from: The oldest, slowest forests in the world? Exceptional biomass and slow carbon dynamics of Fitzroya cupressoides temperate rainforests in southern Chile
Old-growth temperate rainforests are, per unit area, the largest and most long-lived stores of carbon in the terrestrial biosphere, but their carbon dynamics have rarely been described. The endangered Fitzroya cupressoides forests of southern South America include stands that are probably the oldest dense forest stands in the world, with long-lived trees and high standing biomass. We assess and compare aboveground biomass, and provide the first estimates of net primary productivity (NPP), carbon allocation and mean wood residence time in medium-age stands in the Alerce Costero National Park (AC) in the Coastal Range and in old-growth forests in the Alerce Andino National Park (AA) in the Andean Cordillera. Aboveground live biomass was 113–114 Mg C ha-1 and 448–517 Mg C ha-1 in AC and AA, respectively. Aboveground productivity was 3.35–3.36 Mg C ha-1 year-1 in AC and 2.22–2.54 Mg C ha-1 year-1 in AA, values generally lower than others reported for temperate wet forests worldwide, mainly due to the low woody growth of Fitzroya. NPP was 4.21–4.24 and 3.78–4.10 Mg C ha-1 year-1 in AC and AA, respectively. Estimated mean wood residence time was a minimum of 539–640 years for the whole forest in the Andes and 1368–1393 years for only Fitzroya in this site. Our biomass estimates for the Andes place these ecosystems among the most massive forests in the world. Differences in biomass production between sites seem mostly apparent as differences in allocation rather than productivity. Residence time estimates for Fitzroya are the highest reported for any species and carbon dynamics in these forests are the slowest reported for wet forests worldwide. Although primary productivity is low in Fitzroya forests, they probably act as ongoing biomass carbon sinks on long-term timescales due to their low mortality rates and exceptionally long residence times that allow biomass to be accumulated for millennia.
