Silvopastoral systems improve carbon stocks at livestock ranches in Tabasco,Mexico

Silvopastoral systems have great potential for storing carbon because of carbon assimilation in tree woody biomass, carbon input through litterfall and below-ground carbon turnover. In this study, we quantified and compared the carbon stocks at livestock ranches in Tabasco, Mexico, containing either scattered trees in grazing pastures (STP) or grass monocultures. Sampling plots were randomly established at each ranch where the above- and below-ground carbon stocks, carbon input from litterfall, grass production and arboreal biomass growth were measured. We found that silvopastoral systems stored an average of 257.45 Mg ha⁻¹ of soil organic carbon (SOC) compared to 119.17 Mg SOC ha⁻¹ at grass monoculture ranches (to 30 cm depth); silvopastoral systems also stored 44.64 Mg C ha⁻¹ in wood biomass; and, grass monocultures had greater cumulative grass biomass production. Overall, it is concluded that livestock ranches in Tabasco, Mexico, with scattered trees in grazing pastures stored 58.8% more carbon than those grass monocultures, with carbon stocks of 327.01 Mg C ha⁻¹and 134.47 Mg C ha⁻¹, respectively. The results are useful for land management decision making for sustainable livestock systems framed in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).     

基于深度学习与激光点云的橡胶林枝干重建及参数反演

树木的几何建模在林木性状评价、森林动态经营管理与可视化研究中具有重要意义。现今,从激光雷达（Light Detection And Ranging,LiDAR）数据中重建树体三维模型并精准获取林木空间枝干结构参数是数字林业发展的必然趋势。该研究提出了一种深度学习与计算机图形学相融合的树木骨架重建与参数反演方法。该方法以PR107、CATAS 7-20-59、CATAS 8-79三个品种的橡胶树为实验对象,首先,采用背包移动激光雷达获取三个橡胶树品种的样地数据,并通过体素剖分和数据增广策略来构建橡胶树训练样本集。其次,构造由四层特征编码层和特征解码层所组成的点云分类深度学习网络,并包含优化的PointConv模块与不同尺度的特征插值模块,以实现在多尺度条件下,全面考虑点云的全局和局部优化特征,引导网络实现枝叶点云的精确分类。最后,面向分类后的枝干点云,运用计算机图形学的空间连通性算法与圆柱拟合策略,重建树木骨架模型,并自动解决叶子点云与对应的一级枝干归属问题,进而在叶团簇尺度下开展对单株树的精细描述与参数反演。通过对三块橡胶树测试样地的验证和与实测值的比对表明,该研究提出的深度学习网络枝叶分类总体准确率在90.32%以上。骨架重建与叶团簇分析结果显示,PR107品种橡胶树具有较为发散的树冠、最大的分枝夹角和叶团簇体积;CATAS 7-20-59品种橡胶树冠呈花瓶型,分枝夹角和叶团簇体积较小;而CATAS 8-79品种橡胶树尽管胸径最粗,但不耐寒害处于落叶期导致冠积最小。同时,反演得到的橡胶树一级枝干直径与实测值比对为：决定系数R2不低于0.94,均方根误差（Root Mean Square Error,RMSE）小于3.01 cm;主枝干与一级枝干的分枝角为：决定系数R2不低于0.91,均方根误差RMSE不高于4.94°。同时发现橡胶树一级枝干的直径与对应的叶团簇体积呈正相关分布。该研究将人工智能的理论模型应用于林木的激光点云数据处理中,为林木激光点云的智能化分析与处理提供了新颖的解决思路。     

Influence of different forest conversion strategies on ground vegetation and tree regeneration in pine (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Pinus sylvestris</Emphasis> L.) stands: a case study in NE Germany

The conversion of anthropogenic into more natural, self-regenerating forests is one of the major objectives of forestry throughout Europe. In this study, we present investigations on permanent plots with different silvicultural treatment in NE German pine stands. Management of old-growth pine stands on acidic and nutrient-poor sandy sites differs in fencing, thinning, and planting of certain tree species. The investigations were carried out on the community, population, and individual level of the pine forest ecosystems. Thus, vegetation changes, size and height of tree populations, and height increment of tree individuals were observed over a time span of 6 years. Special attention was paid to short-lived tree species such as, e.g., Frangula alnus and Sorbus aucuparia, as well as to Fagus sylvatica as one of the most typical forest tree species of Central Europe. Vegetation changes are interpreted as a consequence of natural regeneration of formerly degraded forest sites, involving an increase in nutrient availability. High browsing pressure can be considered as a key factor for the inhibition of tree seedlings and growth of saplings. Some Sorbus aucuparia individuals, however, succeeded in growing out of the browsing height also in unfenced stands. Few found specimens of Fagus sylvatica proved that this species is able to establish spontaneously on these relatively dry, acidic sites under continental climate influence. Such natural regeneration processes, also including spontaneous rejuvenation of trees, can be integrated into silviculture as passive forest conversion management. An active management like thinning of stands, planting of trees, and fencing can accelerate forest conversion with regard to height growth and species number of trees.

两种混交度的比较分析

混交度是描述混交林中树种混交程度的重要空间结构指数。由于传统混交度仅以对象木与最近邻木之间的树种异同为基础,并不考虑最近邻木之间的树种差异,不能完全反映树种的空间隔离程度。本文在传统混交度的基础上,提出一种新的混交度即树种多样性混交度。通过比较,树种多样性混交度更能反映树种相互隔离程度,是一个较好的林分空间结构指数。
