20.500.12556/RUL-121420 Short-term survival and crown rebuilding of European broadleaf tree species following a severe ice storm Ice storms cause widespread damage to forests in many temperate regions, leaving behind many live trees with severe crown damage. Following a severe ice storm in 2014 that damaged forests across Slovenia, we examined how tree-level attributes influenced survival and crown rebuilding three growing seasons after the storm. Field sampling was carried out in four mature stands dominated by native broadleaf species. Of the 763 sampled trees, the annual mortality rate following the storm was 2.2%, and nearly all trees that died experienced >75% crown removal. Oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) and chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) had higher rates of mortality than beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and maple (Acer pseudoplatanus L.). Mixed models revealed that survival significantly increased with tree diameter and decreased with increasing crown damage. Although we observed sprouting across all the dominant species, maple, oak, and chestnut showed a more vigorous response than beech, and maple had the fastest sprout growth. Model results showed that sprout density and length increased with level of crown damage. The results indicate that these broadleaf forests are resilient to severe ice damage. Consequently, hasty salvage cutting of trees with canopy damage should be avoided, as many individuals with >75% crown damage are likely to survive and recover forest disturbance epicormic branches mortality resilience sprouting fortests ice storm motnje epikormske veje smrtnost sposobnost okrevanja vegetativno odganjanje snegolom drevesne vrste gozdovi true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2020-10-08 14:13:56 2020-10-08 14:13:59 2022-09-02 03:59:24 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2020 0 0 Str. 1131-1137 iss. 11 Vol. 50 2020 0000-00-00 PostprintKoncna Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 630*23 1208-6037 10.1139/cjfr-2020-0063 31057155 2952102 RAZ_Rozenbergar_Dusan_2020.pdf RAZ_Rozenbergar_Dusan_2020.pdf 1 9D0D2223A84AE5D33726EAFC3399EDBD 0dffd830e6965a01837f70e19a54e6e1a8c5fe3f0bf33bc50c9f2910c247cd75 e26b8aab-a1ba-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=136348 https://doi.org/10.1139/cjfr-2020-0063 1 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=136346 https://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/10.1139/cjfr-2020-0063#.X3rptsIzbRZ 1 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=136347 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
