309. Mikroklimatske razmere v sestojih in vrzelih dinarskih jelovobukovih gozdov Slovenije z vidika podnebnih spremembJanez Kermavnar, Mitja Ferlan, Aleksander Marinšek, Klemen Eler, Andrej Kobler, Lado Kutnar, 2019, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Dinarski jelovo-bukovi gozdovi so eden glavnih gozdnih vegetacijskih tipov v Sloveniji, v katerih so se v zadnjem obdobju zaradi naravnih ujm spremenile ekološke razmere. Namen raziskave je bila analiza izbranih spremenljivk mikroklime (temperatura zraka, relativna zračna vlaga) v strnjenih sestojih, v presvetljenih sestojih in v sestojnih vrzelih na treh raziskovalnih območjih (Trnovski gozd, Snežnik, Kočevski rog). Za strnjene sestoje je bila značilna visoka stopnja zastiranja tal s krošnjami dreves ( ~ 95 %). Sestojne vrzeli so nastale s posekom vseh dreves na krožni površini 0,4 ha, v presvetljenih sestojih pa je bila posekana približno polovica lesne zaloge gozdnega sestoja. Ukrepi so bili izvedeni leta 2012, meritve meteoroloških spremenljivk pa smo opravili prvo (2013) in drugo (2014) leto po sečnji. Primerjali smo, kako se mikroklimatske razmere v sestojih in vrzelih spreminjajo v vegetacijski sezoni (maj-oktober) in kakšne so razlike med dvema meteorološko razmeroma različnima poletjema v letih 2013 (več vročinskih valov, poletna suša) in 2014 (nestanovitno vreme z relativno veliko količino padavin). Izmerjene najvišje dnevne temperature zraka (Tmax) so bile izrazito višje v vrzelih kot v sestoju, v povprečju za 3,6 °C; najnižja relativna zračna vlaga (RVmin) pa je bila nižja, v povprečju za 15,0 odstotnih točk. Razlike v obeh spremenljivkah med sestoji in vrzelmi so bile največje v poletnih mesecih (junij-avgust) leta 2013 (Tmax: 4,9 °C; RVmin: -19,7 odstotnih točk), ki je bilo razmeroma vroče in sušno. Na podlagi meritev meteoroloških spremenljivk in zastora drevesnih krošenj (podatki LiDARskega snemanja) v presvetljenih sestojih smo ugotovili statistično značilno negativno linearno povezavo med zastorom drevesnih krošenj in Tmax ter pozitivno povezavo med zastorom krošenj in vrednostmi RVmin. Rezultate analiz smo prikazali v luči potencialnih vplivov podnebnih sprememb, katerim so dinarski jelovo-bukovi gozdovi zaradi kombinacije neugodnih dejavnikov npr. zmanjšana mehanska in biološka stabilnost sestojev zaradi velikopovršinskih motenj, poletne suše, vodoprepusten kraški teren ter pogosto plitva tla z majhno sposobnostjo zadrževanja vode - še posebej izpostavljeni.

310. Evaluating short-term impacts of forest management and microsite conditions on understory vegetation in temperate fir-beech forests : floristic, ecological, and trait-based perspectiveJanez Kermavnar, Aleksander Marinšek, Klemen Eler, Lado Kutnar, 2019, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Forest understory vegetation is largely influenced by disturbances and given local abiotic conditions. Our research focuses on the early response of understory vegetation to various forest management intensities in Dinaric fir-beech forests in Slovenia: (i) control, (ii) 50% cut of stand growing stock, and (iii) 100% cut of stand growing stock. Apart from identifying overstory removal effects, we were interested in fine-scale variation of understory vegetation and environmental determinants of its species composition. Vegetation was sampled within 27 karst sinkholes, which represent a dominant landform in studied forests. Within each sinkhole, five sampling plots, varying in slope aspect (centre, north, east, south, west), were established (135 in total), where pre-treatment (in 2012) and post-treatment (in 2014) floristic surveys were conducted. The sampled understory species were characterized in terms of Ellenberg's indicator values (EIVs) and plant functional traits (plant height, seed mass, specific leaf area, leaf dry matter content). Diversity metrics (species richness, total cover, Shannon index) increased in plots where the silvicultural measures were applied. Tree species richness also increased in 100% cutting. A redundancy analysis revealed that species composition was related to environmental variables, which are directly influenced by management interventions (overstory canopy cover, microclimate maximum daily temperature, soil properties thickness of organic soil layer) as well as by topographic factors (slope inclination and surface rockiness). EIVs for light were significantly affected by treatment intensity, whereas soil-related EIVs (moisture, reaction, nutrients) depended more on the within-sinkhole position. Canopy gaps, compared with uncut control plots, hosted a higher number of colonizing species with a higher plant height and smaller seeds, while leaf traits did not show a clear response. We found a negative correlation between pre-treatment species (functional) richness and post-treatment shifts in floristic (functional) composition. Plots with higher richness exhibited smaller changes compared with species-poor communities. Incorporating different perspectives, the results of this study offer valuable insights into patterns of understory vegetation response to forest management in fir-beech forests.
