Soil and meteorological data, and finite element simulation framework for heat transfer through shrubs in winter near Lautaret pass, French Alps
<p>The data allow the calculation using finite element modeling of heat transfer through shrub branches and snow between the atmosphere and the soil. The shrubs are green alders (Alnus viridis). The site where they are found is called Alnus-Nivus (45.034750°N, 6.413630°E, 2034 m asl) near Col du Lautaret, French Alps. The soil data consist in temperature and volumetric liquid water content at 5 and 15 cm depths. One spot is near the alder collar (ALNUS), the other spot is 6 m away, under grass (GRASS).</p> <p>The meteorological data were obtained from the FR-Clt station, 750 m away (45.041278°N, 6.410611°E, 2046 m asl). See (Gupta et al., 2023) for details. Only the data relevant for heat transfer simulations are given.</p> <p>The simulation framework gives the alder mesh used in the heat transfer simulations. Typical simulations use a wood thermal conductivity of 1 W m<sup>-1</sup> K<sup>-1</sup> and a snow thermal conductivity of 0.1 W m<sup>-1</sup> K<sup>-1</sup>. Based on observations, the snow height at Alnus-Nivus is likely to be at least twice the value at FR-Clt. Forcing uses the snow surface temperature, derived from upwelling longwave radiation using an emissivity of 1. The data allow testing thermal bridging through shrub branches. These data are used in a publication in preparation: Domine, Fourteau, Choler, Exploration of Thermal Bridging Through Shrub Branches in Alpine Snow.</p> <p>Reference</p> <p>Gupta, A., Reverdy, A., Cohard, J.

Land use and land cover scenarios for the Maurienne valley (French Alps) at 2085 horizon produced using CLUMPY model
<p>We built three contrasted future LULC scenarios from 2020 to 2085 with the CLUMPY model (Mazy and Longaretti, 2022). The CLUMPY model is an innovative model of land use and land cover change comprising a calibration-estimation module separate from a non-biased allocation module. It is calibrated by using time series of past LULC maps (Mazy and Longaretti, 2022). The model then calculates transition probabilities for each LULC class according to relevant spatial explanatory variables. Next, the model can produce maps of future LULC distributions according to information it learned during the calibration-estimation phase. This model has the benefits of being easy to use, proposing nonbiased allocation methods and producing scenarios of future LULC change either by adjusting manually the matrix of LULC transitions probabilities (used for the Conservation and Tourism scenarios) or by training the model on specific areas of the past time series (only used for the Conservation scenario).</p>
Biomass production at 2085 horizon for the Maurienne valley (French Alps) estimated using a Bayesian Belief Network
<p>In mountains, grasslands managed for livestock production sustain local economies, culture and identity. However, their future fodder production is highly uncertain under climate change: while an extended growing season may be beneficial, more frequent and intense summer droughts could also reduce fodder quantity and quality. Land use and land cover (LULC) changes are another major driver of regional grassland biomass production, but combined effects of future land use transitions and climate change are rarely quantified.</p> <p>We modelled combined climate and LULC scenarios for grassland production of the Maurienne Valley (French Alps) by 2100. We built a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) from long-term grassland production monitoring data complemented with expert knowledge. We assessed the potential of two candidate adaptations, intensification as an incremental solution, and silvopastoralism as a transformative solution to compensate combined impacts of two climate scenarios and three land use change scenarios.</p> <p>Total biomass production was far more sensitive to LULC than to climate scenarios. Production losses were largest under the Conservation LULC scenario (-28% on average between 2020 and 2085), followed by the Tourism development scenario (-7%) and the Business-as-Usual scenario (+3%). Climate change under RCP 8.5 altered the seasonality of production by increasing potential production from May to July while decreasing summer regrowth. Intensification somewhat compensated effects of climate and LULC changes on biomass production, whereas silvopastoralism offered only marginal gains. The Bayesian network model explicitly captured a future increase in interannual variability in biomass production.</p> <p>Synthesis and application: Changes in LULC are more decisive for global biomass production than climate change. However, under the most extreme climate change scenario (RCP8.5), the seasonal shift in production and increased interannnual variability threaten the current grass-based Protected Designation of Origin production system. Only the intensification adaptation solution showed significant gains in total biomass production. Still, the silvopastoralism would require less investment compared to the intensification and have a similar efficiency when assessing the gains of biomass by the surface concerned with adaptation solutions. </p>

Data from: First evidence for allotriploid hybrids between Juniperus thurifera and J. sabina in a sympatric area in the French Alps
<p>At Saint Crépin location (French Alps), where sympatry between the tetraploid <i>Juniperus thurifera</i> and the diploid <i>Juniperus sabina</i> occurs, three individuals with an atypical morphology<i>,</i> have been observed. AFLP markers were used to unravel hybridization and potential introgression events in this population. In total, 147 polymorphic loci remained after the process of peak selection. This dataset demonstrates hybrids originated from a cross between <i>J. sabina</i> and <i>J. thurifera</i> and suggests that back-cross at least to <i>J. thurifera </i>is possible. This study shed light on a rare case of hybridization of two <i>Juniperus</i> species with different ploidy levels in natural sympatric population.</p>
Climate associated genetic variation in Fagus sylvatica and potential responses to climate change in the French Alps
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Local adaptation patterns have been found in many plants and animals, highlighting the genetic heterogeneity of species along their range of distribution. In the next decades, global warming is predicted to induce a change in the selective pressures that drive this adaptive variation, forcing a reshuffling of the underlying adaptive allele distributions. For species with low dispersion capacity and long generation time such as trees, the rapidity of the change could imped the migration of beneficial alleles and lower their capacity to track the changing environment. Identifying the main selective pressures driving the adaptive genetic variation is thus necessary when investigating species capacity to respond to global warming. In this study, we investigate the adaptive landscape of <i>Fagus sylvatica</i> along a gradient of populations in the French Alps. Using a double digest restriction-site associated DNA (ddRAD) sequencing approach, we identified 7,000 SNPs from 570 individuals across 36 different sites. A redundancy analysis (RDA)-derived method allowed us to identify several SNPs that were strongly associated with climatic gradients; moreover, we defined the primary selective gradients along the natural populations of <i>F. sylvatica</i> in the Alps. Strong effects of elevation and humidity, which contrast north-western and south-eastern site, were found and were believed to be important drivers of genetic adaptation. Finally, simulations of future genetic landscapes that used these findings allowed identifying populations at risk for <i>F. sylvatica </i>in the Alps, which could be helpful for future management plans. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
