The interception of rainfall in conifer plantations has been intensively studied. However, research on broadleaved forests is limited, although the broadleaved forests dominate approximately half of forest area in Japan. Here, we compared the throughfall and stemflow of each vegetation layer to clarify interception in a naturally regenerated temperate evergreen broadleaved forest (lucidophyllous forest) and a Japanese cypress plantation over a three-year period. Both forests were approximately 100 years old and had abundant lower-layer vegetation. We found that approximately a quarter of rainfall was intercepted in both forests, although the half of that interception in the Japanese cypress plantation was owing to the abundant lower-layer vegetation. This indicated that the interception in the evergreen broadleaved forest was twice that of the Japanese cypress upper canopy. The well-developed layer structure in the evergreen broadleaved forest efficiently intercepted rainfall. From the point of view of water resource management, this study implies that both evergreen broadleaved forests and Japanese cypress plantations with abundant lower-layer vegetation can decrease the amount of water infiltrating soils.

Cryptomeria japonica (Thunb. ex L. f.) D. Don is the most major plantation species in Japan, and cultivars have been developed and planted under variable environmental conditions across the country. Productivity of clonal plantations is influenced by the ability of the genotype to acclimate to edaphic- and geographic-scale variation in environmental conditions and disturbance regimes. Because all individuals are genetically identical in a clonal plantation, the trait differences among individuals represent phenotypic plasticity. Here, we investigated how phenotypic plasticity and response to disturbance vary among cutting cultivars of C. japonica. We compared tree height, leaf morphology, nitrogen content, and frequency/intensity of growth-release observed in tree rings after thinning and disturbance among six cutting cultivars in 45-year-old provenance trials in south-western Japan. Nitrogen use efficiency was higher in the site where maximum tree height (Hmax) was taller, while shoot mass per area (SMA) was larger in the site where Hmax was shorter. Cultivars that grew well had high leaf nitrogen content (NG) and showed more efficient nitrogen use with high nitrogen-resorption efficiency (NRE). Yabukuguri, an intermediate-growth cultivar, was characterized by large SMA and greater plasticity in SMA and tree height in response to topographical and regional variation, as well as greater intensity of growth-release in tree-ring series indicating growth resilience following disturbance. Our results provide guidelines for selecting cultivars with high acclimation potential and resilience to environmental perturbation, which is important for sustaining plantation forests in uncertain environmental conditions expected by future climate change.

Leaf phenology and properties are the vital traits of productivity and fitness of individual trees. Understanding the climatic conditions associated with the trait variation is essential for evaluation of the tree species’ capacity to face and adapt to environmental change. This study focused on the habits of the tree species in the alpine forests where they are experiencing some of the highest rates of warming under recent climate change. Thus, we examined the climate-related variation in leaf area, specific leaf area (SLA) and the timing of bud break in common gardens of Betula ermanii across a wide latitudinal range, as well as their height that was strongly correlated with leaf traits. Based on analysis of variance, all recorded traits were found to be genetically controlled, and leaf area was most strongly affected by genetic factors. Traits of saplings from higher latitudinal populations included taller height, larger leaf area, larger SLA and earlier bud break. Leaf area of B. ermanii saplings was strongly correlated with the height of the saplings, as taller saplings exhibited larger leaves. Saplings derived from regions with fewer precipitation in summer showed taller height and larger leaves. In contrast, we could not observe significant associations between SLA and timing of bud break, and any climatic variable for two experimental years. Increasing earliness of bud break of B. ermanii with increases in latitude was likely to associate with the gradients of photoperiod. Climate gradients between populations seemed to contribute to the geographic variation in the height, leaf and phenological traits of B. ermanii.

Heredity 2023.9
Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher:Heredity
The reduced growth performance of individuals from range edges is a common phenomenon in various taxa, and considered to be an evolutionary factor that limits the species’ range. However, most studies did not distinguish between two mechanisms that can lead to this reduction: genetic load and adaptive selection to harsh conditions. To address this lack of understanding, we investigated the climatic and genetic factors underlying the growth performance of Betula ermanii saplings transplanted from 11 populations including high-altitude edge and low-latitude edge population. We estimated the climatic position of the populations within the overall B. ermanii’s distribution, and the genetic composition and diversity using restriction-site associated DNA sequencing, and measured survival, growth rates and individual size of the saplings. The high-altitude edge population (APW) was located below the 95% significance interval for the mean annual temperature range, but did not show any distinctive genetic characteristics. In contrast, the low-latitude edge population (SHK) exhibited a high level of linkage disequilibrium, low genetic diversity, a distinct genetic composition from the other populations, and a high relatedness coefficient. Both APW and SHK saplings displayed lower survival rates, heights and diameters, while SHK saplings also exhibited lower growth rates than the other populations’ saplings. The low heights and diameters of APW saplings was likely the result of adaptive selection to harsh conditions, while the low survival and growth rates of SHK saplings was likely the result of genetic load. Our findings shed light on the mechanisms underlying the reduced growth performance of range-edge populations.
