We documented an extreme case study for the range of possible post-fire land cover （LC） dynamics. We investigated a 15-ha, steep （10°-65°） burnt slope in Styria （Austria） at elevation of 760-1130 m, which burned in 1946 and has not fully recovered to date. Seven 8-class legend LC maps were produced （1954, 1966, 1973, 1982, 1998, 2004, 2009） and integrated in a vector-based GIS, mainly by on-screen interpretation of aerial photos. Our aim was to clarify how post-wildfire LC dynamics take place on a severely damaged, steep slope and to give a basic projection of the future vegetation recovery process. The pre-fire Pinus sylvestrisstands have been mainly replaced by Picea abies and Larix decidua. Regeneration proceeded mainly from the base of the slope upwards. All tree species together still cover no more than 40% of the slope after more than 60 years of recovery, while grassland communities and rock/debris areas have expanded. Multitemporal analysis showed a slow but steady increase in woodland cover. Degraded rock/debris areas, however, expanded as well because soil erosion and related debris flows remained active. Slope angle （with a threshold value of approx. 35-40°） seemed to control whether erosion or regeneration prevailed. According to a simple extrapolation, the slope will not reach its former condition before 2070. This extreme disturbance window of more than 120 years is owed to the steepness of the slope and to the shallow soils on dolomitic bedrock that were severely damaged by the fire. The neglect of any game fencing is a further factor slowing regeneration.展开更多

A good understanding of the trajectories and drivers of the woody vegetation change is necessary for the relevant management. Recently, the number of studies devoted to monitoring forest cover changes has increased. However, these works do not fully distinguish between different categories of forest and non-forest woody vegetation. The main aim of the study was to propose a classification system for monitoring historic changes of woody vegetation in the landscape. The period of the last 150 years was mapped through three time-lines (1842, 1953 and 2011). Data were obtained by interpreting historic maps (Stable Cadastral map of 1842) and historical (1953) and current orthophoto (2011) using ArcGIS tools. The classification was applied on the example of Sokolov region (57 km2) located in western Bohemia. The result of the research is a proposal for classifying woody vegetation stands into four categories based on the structural and localisation criteria: (1) Line adjacent woodlands, (2) Landscape woodlands, (3) Settlement woodlands, and (4) Compact woodlands. Information on the woody vegetation development using the proposed classification system is important for understanding the patterns, pressures, and driving forces that led to the formation of the present-day forest and non-forest woody vegetation in the landscape. The results can also be applied as a basis for future forest management practice as they can be used in other different fields, e.g. history, archaeology etc.展开更多

It can well represent and reflect the characteristics and laws of vegetation restoration in hillside fields. Therefore an Alnus cremastogyne forest community developed via converting hillside fields to forest, was investigated by contrast with a weed community on abandoned hillside fields. The results indicated that: 1) In Sichuan Basin and surrounding regions of it, vegetations restored so rapid that the average DBH (diameter at breast height), tree height of A.cremastogyne tree crown density, ground vegetation coverage respectively reached 5.2 cm, 6.1 m, 0.7 and 100 percent for 3 years and after converting hillside fields to forest. 2) With vegetation restoring, community gradually developed mosaic spatial pattern and vertical stratification, simultaneously distribution of plant population changed from regular to clumped, and spatial heterogeneity of community increased. 3) Community biodiversity remarkably increased in the process of vegetation restoration in hillside fields. During the period, species richness of both commnuities changed from 20 to 39, Shannon-Wiener diversity index was 4.205 and 5.021 respectively, while Pielou equitability index dropped little. 4) Plant species frequently and dramatically altered, which mainly showed that therophytes declined rapidly from 16 to 10, while perennial ones dramatically increased from 2 to 26, and 8 of them are phanerophytes. 5) The pathway of community development approximately was from annual herbs to shrubs + perennial herbs to trees + shrubs and herbs + perennial herbs, finally to natural mixed forests, such driving force was mainly from interspecific competition.展开更多
