Low Kirtland's Warbler fledgling survival in Wisconsin plantations relative to Michigan plantations
<p>The Kirtland's Warbler (<em>Setophaga kirtlandii</em>) is a formerly endangered habitat specialist that breeds mainly in young jack pine (<em>Pinus banksiana</em>) forests in northern Lower Michigan, USA. The species is conservation-reliant and depends on habitat management. Management actions have primarily focused on creating jack pine plantations, but the species also breeds in red pine (<em>Pinus resinosa</em>) plantations in central Wisconsin, USA. However, the plantations were not intended as breeding habitat and have suboptimal pine densities. While nesting success is similar between low-density red pine plantations and optimal jack pine habitat, it is not clear if low-density red pine plantations support high fledging survival. If high-quality nesting and post-fledging habitat are not synonymous, fledgling survival and breeding population recruitment may be low. We characterized survival, habitat use, and movement patterns of dependent Kirtland's Warbler fledglings in Wisconsin red pine plantations and compared fledgling survival between Wisconsin and Michigan. Mayfield cumulative survival estimates at 30 days post-fledging were 0.20 for Wisconsin fledglings and 0.43 to 0.78 for Michigan fledglings. Logistic exposure cumulative survival estimates for Wisconsin fledglings were 0.23 to 0.34 at 30 days post-fledging. Fledglings in Wisconsin used areas where vegetation cover and density of red and jack pine were high relative to available areas but not at greater proportions than what was available. Our findings demonstrate that red pine plantations with low pine densities were not equally suitable as nesting and post-fledging habitat, as fledgling survival rates were low. We hypothesize that habitat structure, and not particular pine species, likely contributed to reduced fledgling survival in Wisconsin. Thus, we recommend including red pine as a component in managed Kirtland's Warbler habitat only if tree densities approach optimal levels.</p>
Data from: Effects of tree functional traits on soil respiration in tropical forest plantations
<p>The study covers four plantations stands of Acacia auriculiformis (A), Eucalyptus urophylla (E), Hopea odorata (H), and X. xylocarpa (X) through a sample plot (50 m x 50 m) in each stand from July 2015 until June 2016. Physical and chemical soil properties were collected at two depths (0-15 cm, 15-30 cm) at the beginning of the study (soil_properties_initial.csv). Additional samplings of topsoil pH, bulk density (BD, g cm-3), organic matter (OM, %), total carbon (TC, %), and nitrogen (TN, %) were conducted monthly (mo_yr) at five random locations (soil_properties_month.csv). Soil respiration (SR) was measured at the beginning of each month (mo_yr) at 12 locations (Point) within each species sample plot (Species) for ten hours (h_time) simultaneously with soil temperature (ST, C), air temperature (AT, C), relative humidity (RH), and soil moisture (SM, %) (soil_respiration.csv). The location of each soil respiration measurement point within the sample plots is provided as well (soil_respiration_location.csv). All trees within each sample plot were mapped (X, Y) and their stem basal area (BA_cm2) and height (H) were measured (stand_inventories.csv).</p>
Net greenhouse gas balance of fibre wood plantation on peat in Indonesia
<p>Tropical peatlands cycle and store large amounts of carbon in their soil and biomass<sup>1–5</sup>. Climate and land-use change alter greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes of tropical peatlands, but the magnitude of these changes remains highly uncertain<sup>6–19</sup>. Here we measure net ecosystem exchanges of carbon dioxide, methane and soil nitrous oxide fluxes between October 2016 and May 2022 from <em>Acacia crassicarpa </em>plantation, degraded forest and intact forest within the same peat landscape, representing land-cover change trajectories in Sumatra, Indonesia. This allows us to present a full plantation rotation GHG flux balance in fibre wood plantation on peatland. We find that the <em>Acacia </em>plantation has lower GHG emissions than the degraded site with a similar average groundwater level (GWL), despite more intensive land use. The GHG emissions from the <em>Acacia </em>plantation over a full plantation rotation (35.2 ± 4.7 tCO<sub>2</sub>-eq ha<sup>−1</sup> year<sup>−1</sup>, average ± standard deviation) were around two times higher than those from the intact forest (20.3 ± 3.7 tCO<sub>2</sub>-eq ha<sup>−1</sup> year<sup>−1</sup>), but only half of the current Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Tier 1 emission factor (EF)<sup>20</sup> for this land use. Our results can help to reduce the uncertainty in GHG emissions estimates, provide an estimate of the impact of land-use change on tropical peat and develop science-based peatland management practices as nature-based climate solutions.</p>

Input data and model implementation from: How do terrestrial wildlife communities respond to small-scale Acacia plantations embedded in harvested tropical forest?
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>To offset the declining timber supply from shifting towards more sustainable forestry practices, industrial tree plantations are expanding in tropical production forests. The conversion of natural forest to tree plantation is generally associated with loss of biodiversity and shifts toward more generalist and disturbance tolerant communities; but effects of mixed-landuse landscapes integrating natural and plantation forest remain little understood. Using camera traps, we surveyed the medium-to-large bodied terrestrial wildlife community across two mixed-land-use forest management areas in Sarawak, Malaysia Borneo which include areas dedicated for logging of natural forest and adjacent planted <em>Acacia</em> forests. We analysed data from a 25-wildlife species community using a Bayesian community occupancy model to assess species richness and species-specific occurrence responses to <em>Acacia</em> plantations at a broad scale, and to remote-sensed local habitat conditions within the different forest land-use types. All species were estimated to occur in both land-use types, but species-level percent area occupied and predicted average local species richness were slightly higher in the natural forest management areas compared to licensed planted forest. Similarly, occupancy-based species diversity profiles and defaunation indices for both a full community and only threatened and endemic species suggested the diversity and occurrence were slightly higher in the natural forest management areas. At the local scale, forest quality was the most prominent predictor of species occurrence. These associations with forest quality varied among species but were predominantly positive. Our results highlight the ability of a mixed-land-use landscape with small-scale<em> Acacia</em> plantations embedded in natural forest to retain terrestrial wildlife communities while providing an alternate source of timber. Nonetheless, there was a tendency towards reduced biodiversity in planted forests, which would likely be more pronounced in plantations that are larger or embedded in a less natural matrix.</span></p>

Decomposition and nutrient dynamics of stumps and coarse roots of Eucalyptus plantations in southern China
<p>This study aimed to (1) quantify the stocks of biomass and nutrients from <em>Eucalyptus</em> stumps and coarse roots along a chrono-sequence of 0–6-year-old clear-cutting stands and (2) estimate the loss rate of biomass and nutrients, as well as the nutrient dynamics of stumps and coarse roots, to elucidate (1) if the biomass of coarse roots is higher than that of stumps and (2) if there is faster decomposition and nutrient loss rate from stumps from than coarse roots. <strong><em>Conclusion:</em></strong> Stumps and coarse roots serve as significant nutrients stocks that decay at varying rates. The loss of nutrients must be considered while analyzing the decomposition dynamics following clear-cutting in <em>Eucalyptus</em> plantations.</p> <p>This dataset is related to a research paper submitted to Annals of Forest Science.</p>

Throughfall exclusion and fertilization effects on tropical dry forest tree plantations, a large-scale experiment
<p>Across tropical ecosystems, global environmental change is causing drier climatic conditions and increased nutrient deposition. Such changes represent large uncertainties due to unknown interactions between drought and nutrient availability in controlling ecosystem net primary productivity (NPP). Using a large-scale manipulative experiment, we studied for 4 years whether nutrient availability affects the individual and integrated responses of aboveground and belowground ecosystem processes to throughfall exclusion in 30-year-old mixed plantations of tropical dry forest tree species in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. We used a factorial design with four treatments: control, fertilization (F), drought (D), and drought + fertilization (D + F). While we found that a 13 %–15 % reduction in soil moisture only led to weak effects in the studied ecosystem processes, NPP increased as a function of F and D + F. The relative contribution of each biomass flux to NPP varied depending on the treatment, with woody biomass being more important for F and root biomass for D + F and D. Moreover, the F treatment showed modest increases in maximum canopy cover. Plant functional type (i.e., N fixation or deciduousness) and not the experimental manipulations was the main source of variation in tree growth. Belowground processes also responded to experimental treatments, as we found a decrease in nodulation for F plots and an increase in microbial carbon use efficiency 25 for F and D plots. Our results emphasize that nutrient availability, more so than modest reductions in soil moisture, limits ecosystem processes in tropical dry forests and that soil fertility interactions with other aspects of drought intensity (e.g., vapor pressure deficit) are yet to be explored.</p>
Geographical trends of soil-associated biodiversity changes due to tree plantations in South America: biome and climate constraints revealed through meta-analysis
<p><strong>Aim</strong></p> <p>Evaluate the interaction between climate and biome structure when explaining changes in species richness of soil-associated communities due to tree plantations developed in different biomes. Compare the response of plants, soil invertebrates, and soil microorganisms, and test whether they should be considered sensitive-coupled biotas. Location Continental South America.</p> <p><strong>Time period</strong></p> <p>1996–2023 </p> <p><strong>Major taxa studied </strong></p> <p>Plants, soil invertebrates and soil microorganisms </p> <p><strong>Methods </strong></p> <p>Through a meta-analysis, the change in species richness (i.e., response ratio) associated with tree plantations was evaluated in 127 points of study across South America, considering soil-associated communities of plants, invertebrates and microorganisms. The influence of biome structure (open vs. closed habitats) on the response ratio and its interaction with the actual evapotranspiration (AET) and temperature seasonality was evaluated. Differentiated responses of different taxa were tested by comparing models with and without an interaction term referring to the taxon studied. The regional agricultural cover and plantation age were considered as anthropogenic variables.</p> <p><strong>Results </strong></p> <p>Models containing the AET were better at explaining the trend of change in species richness than those with temperature seasonality. The response to the change in species richness was oppositely related to the AET in open and closed biomes. Plants presented a higher loss in species richness than soil invertebrates and microorganisms. The three taxa were positively associated with AET, while seasonality was not relevant in any case. Both anthropogenic variables significantly lessened the change in species richness in all models. </p> <p><strong>Main conclusions</strong></p> <p>The structural contrast between the anthropogenic habitat and the biome where it is developed is a key factor influencing the response of soil-associated communities to tree plantations. Nevertheless, its influence must be assessed together with climatic and anthropogenic variables given that their interaction can explain different geographical trends in the change in species richness across regions.</p>
Call attenuation data of three frog species in tree plantations and a native forest in southern Brazil
<p><span>Call transmission is influenced by the acoustics of the propagation environment, including vegetation. Thus, forestry monocultures of non-native trees represent artificial environments that could modify call transmission. These monocultures have substituted large areas of the Atlantic Forest in southern Brazil, representing a conservation challenge. Considering this context, we hypothesized that anurans have calls less attenuated in their native environment than in forest plantations. To test it, we performed sound transmission experiments using calls of three anuran species native to southern Brazil: </span><em><span>Boana bischoffi</span></em><span>, </span><em><span>B. leptolineata</span></em><span>, and </span><em><span>Hylodes meridionalis</span></em><span>. We compared sound attenuation between the native forest and forestry monocultures (</span><em><span>Eucalyptus</span></em><span><em> sp</em>. and </span><em><span>Pinus</span></em><span><em> sp.</em> forests), and included distance from the sound source, air temperature, humidity, and vegetation density as co-factors in linear mixed models.</span></p>
Repeated mapped tree inventory data in a tree plantation for pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) genetic conservation
<p>We performed replicated, repeated mapped tree inventory measures (x,y, height, diameter, vitality, etc.) to allow analysis of the spatial and temporal structure in 1 ha planted pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) stand established in 2003 to resemble the oak-hornnbeam forests for genetic conservation purposes in Po Valley (Foresta Carpaneta). Two inventories were carried out in 2009 and 2019. The use of replicated, repeated, and mapped tree measures allows the examination of true changes in spatial pattern processes through time in this forest type.</p>

Mound Plantation Mound
Coles Creek period mound in a farm field. "Mound Plantation is a single platform mound just over half a mile from an old channel of the Tensas River. An irrigation ditch runs along its northeast side, and rice paddies surround it; this suggests its original setting has been destroyed. The mound is about 10 feet tall and measures about 135 by 125 feet. The platform at the summit is 60 feet square. Its eastern flank has been covered by fill from the ditch. Early accounts of the site say a second mound was north of the existing one, but no physical evidence for it has been found. A small number of pottery pieces suggest it was occupied sometime between AD 700 and 1200 (Coles Creek period)." -[Indian Mounds of Northeast Louisiana](https://www.crt.state.la.us/dataprojects/archaeology/moundsguide/Mound%20Plantation.html) Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
