“…Several researches have clearly shown that tree species differ in their retranslocation (Hagen-Thorn et al 2006, Rouhi-Moghaddam et al 2008, Hashemi et al 2012). Sharma & Sharma (2004) suggested that different retranslocation of nutrients depends upon many factors such as, plant growth, species, and stature associated with age and site characteristics.…”

© iForest -Biogeosciences and Forestry IntroductionIn natural forests and man-made plantations, cycling of nutrient is an important aspect, as significant amounts of nutrients are returned to soil through litter fall and become available for nutrient cycling. Among nutrients, some are used in physiological responses and other stored in different plant organs, or returned to the soil through the litter and then partially absorbed by the root of trees (Breeman 1995). Uptake and release of nutrients are important factors at the stand level, because they represent the major fluxes through the system (Miller & Alpert 1984). Nutrient concentration in plant biomass is the result of the balance between nutrient uptake, plant growth and nutrient retranslocation, and the loss of these processes are likely to be influenced both by plant genetic make-up and soil fertility, as well as other environmental conditions (HagenThorn et al. 2004).Forest litter fall is the major flux responsible for nutrient transfer to soil (Parzych et al. 2008) and the growth and productivity of forest ecosystems depends mainly on the amount, the nature and the rate of decomposition of litter fall (Victor et al. 2001). Tree species can play an important role in nutrient cycling through different properties, such as the amount of litter produced, nutrients release and chemical composition of the litter (Rahajoe 2003). Different tree species involve different nutrient release patterns, which are related to litter quality and seasonal environmental factors (Khiewtam & Ramakrishnan 1993). Tracking nutrient returns through litter fall under different tree species is important to understand the dynamics of soil fertility.Soil and old leaf nutrient retranslocation, are the primary sources of nutrients in the leaves (Binkley & Sollins 1995, Piatek & Lee Allen 2000 and litter fall nutrient abundance is related to intensity of retranslocation processes in autumn (Parzych et al. 2008). The nutrient retranslocation, movement and transfer nutrients from the old leaves to the every year store, is an important process in nutrient dynamics in most ecosystems, especially broadleaf ecosystems (Killingbeck 1996, Duchesne et al. 2001). Retranslocation has been characterized as one of the most important strategies used by trees to conserve nutrients, which consequently influences competition, nutrient uptake, and productivity (Killingbeck 1996). Within the same community, foliar nutrient concentrations vary largely amongst different species and different individuals of the same species despite similar soil conditions (Niinemets & Kull 2003). The relative importance of site and species, as the factors determining nutrient concentrations in plant biomass, may differ depending on nutrient element and biomass fraction. Comparative studies of several species growing on the same soils allow a better understanding of species nutrient function (Hagen-Thorn et al. 2004).Different species and clones of poplar are commonly planted as fast-growing species in the world and some pa...

“…3) With different efficiencies, half of the mineral elements are retranslocated by trees before shedding litter onto the ground (among many works: Killingbeck, 1996;Hagen-Thorn et al, 2006;Fischer, 2007;Marchin et al, 2010;Teija Ruuhola, 2011;Maillardet al, 2015); 4) After a first stage of passive leaching of soluble compounds, shed litter undergoes a selective attack by living organisms (fungi, bacteria, animals), physical factors (leaching), and chemical agents (oxidation) as well as a progressive transformation until it has lost more than half its weight. During this transformation, we observe the formation of a complex organic material, richer in N, lignin, and lignin-like compounds (humus in chemical sense) than the original litter, and more resistant to biodegradation (Berg and McClaugherty, 2008;Berg and Cortina, 1995;Berg and Dise, 2004;Lundmark, 1985, 1987).…”

“…Nevertheless, these data can obviously be improved and in the present study an attempt was made to do this with in-depth bibliographical research. The main improvements undertaken were related to the tree species of interest, i.e., Quercus petraea and Picea abies, and dealt with the estimation of light requirements (Ellenberg et al, 1992;Gardiner et al, 2009), N-foliar retention (Hagen-Thorn et al, 2006), relative foliar composition in terms of base cations and N (Sariyildiz and Anderson, 2005) and fine root distribution in the soil (Rosengren and Stjernquist, 2004;Bolte and Villanueva, 2006;Tatarinov et al, 2008;Bolte and Löf, 2010;Persson and Stadenberg, 2010).…”

A B S T R A C TAtmospheric N deposition is known to severely impact forest ecosystem functioning by influencing soil biogeochemistry and nutrient balance, and consequently tree growth and overall forest health and biodiversity. Moreover, because climate greatly influences soil processes, climate change and atmospheric N deposition must both be taken into account when analysing the evolution of forest ecosystem status over time. Dynamic biogeochemical models have been developed to test different climate and atmospheric N deposition scenarios and their potential interactions in the long term. In this study, the ForSAFE model was used to predict the combined effect of atmospheric N deposition and climate change on two temperate forest ecosystems in France dominated by oak and spruce, and more precisely on forest soil biogeochemistry, from today to 2100. After a calibration step and following a careful statistical validation process, two atmospheric N deposition scenarios were tested: the current legislation in Europe (CLE) and the maximum feasible reduction (MFR) scenarios. They were combined with three climate scenarios: current climate scenario, worst-case climate scenario (A2) and best-case climate scenario (B1). The changes in base saturation and inorganic N concentration in the soil solution were compared across all scenario combinations, with the aim of forecasting the state of acidification, eutrophication and forest ecosystem recovery up to the year 2100.Simulations highlighted that climate had a stronger impact on soil base saturation, whereas atmospheric deposition had a comparative effect or a higher effect than climate on N concentration in the soil solution. Although deposition remains the main factor determining the evolution of N concentration in soil solution, increased temperature had a significant effect. Results also highlighted the necessity of considering the joint effect of both climate and atmospheric N deposition on soil biogeochemistry.
