In parts of Southeast Asia, conversion of natural forest to cacao agroforestry systems is an important driver of deforestation, resulting in C losses from biomass and soil to the atmosphere. This case study from Sulawesi, Indonesia, compares natural forest with nearby shaded cacao agroforests for all major above and belowground biomass C pools (n = 6 plots) and net primary production (n = 3 plots). Total biomass (above- and belowground to 250 cm soil depth) in the forest (approx. 150 Mg C ha−1) was more than eight times higher than in the agroforest (19 Mg C ha−1). Total net primary production (NPP, above- and belowground) was larger in the forest than in the agroforest (approx. 29 vs. 20 Mg dry matter (DM) ha−1 year−1), while wood increment was twice as high in the forest (approx. 6 vs. 3 Mg DM ha−1 year−1). The SOC pools to 250 cm depth amounted to 134 and 78 Mg C ha−1 in the forest and agroforest stands, respectively. Replacement of tropical moist forest by cacao agroforest reduces the biomass C pool by approximately 130 Mg C ha−1; another 50 Mg C ha−1 may be released from the soil. Further, the replacement of forest by cacao agroforest also results in a 70–80 % decrease of the annual C sequestration potential due to a significantly smaller stem increment."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s10457-013-9628-7"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/65035"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.eissn","1572-9680"],["dc.relation.issn","0167-4366"],["dc.title","Conversion of tropical moist forest into cacao agroforest: consequences for carbon pools and annual C sequestration"],["dc.title.subtitle","consequences for carbon pools and annual C sequestration"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We analyzed the dependence of hydraulic architecture on tree height in several phylogenetically different canopy tree species growing under the non-seasonal wet climate of a lower montane rainforest in Sulawesi, Indonesia. We determined leaf-specific conductivity (LSC), sapwood-area specific hydraulic conductivity (k(s)), and wood anatomy (vessel diameter and density) of sun-exposed twigs and of the trunk of 51 trees of eight abundant species ranging in tree height between 6 5 and 44 m LSC and k(s) significantly increased with tree height (r(adj)(2) = 0 50 and 046, respectively) as did mean vessel diameter.

We tested the hypotheses that (i) wood density is related to both growth rate and hydraulic efficiency contrary to findings from moist tropical forests, and (ii) productivity is closely related to branch xylem properties as well as empirically determined hydraulic conductivity in these drought-adapted species. Growth rate was positively related to tree size, foliar nitrogen content, vessel diameter, specific conductivity and leaf water potential, and negatively to vessel density, wood density and δ13C, indicating that fast-growing tree species with light wood possessed a more efficient hydraulic system but closed their stomata relatively early to prevent xylem dysfunction. We conclude, that in tropical semi-dry climates, productivity is closely associated not only with foliar nitrogen but also with wood anatomical and hydraulic properties.

With a tree sapling experiment consisting of three diversity levels (1, 3, 5 species), 11 different species combinations and two soil moisture levels (moist and dry), we examined the influence of tree species diversity and species identity on stand transpiration (T) under ample and restricted water supply. We further asked whether growth in mixture leads to adaptive responses in the hydraulic system and water loss regulation in plants with heterospecific neighbors compared to plants in monoculture. In moist soil, T was on average ∼11% higher in the mixtures than in the monocultures (significant net diversity effect), which can mostly be attributed to a selection effect. Overyielding in T was highest in mixtures when Tilia cordata and/or Fraxinus excelsior were present. Both species developed larger leaf areas (LA) and sapwood areas (SA) in monocultures than the other species and furthermore increased LA and SA from the monocultures to the mixtures. Thus, inherent species differences in LA and hydraulics, but also neighbor effects on these traits determined T to a large extend. In dry soil, the diversity effect on T was not larger but slightly smaller, which is not in agreement with other published studies. We conclude that differences between pure and mixed sapling assemblages in stand water consumption and drought response are mainly caused by species identity effects, while species diversity seems to be less influential."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/oik.02367"],["dc.identifier.fs","620662"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/10603"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.eissn","1600-0706"],["dc.relation.issn","0030-1299"],["dc.title","Species diversity and identity effects on the water consumption of tree sapling assemblages under ample and limited water supply"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Although species comparisons across climate zones have demonstrated anatomical change in response to altered water availability and tree height, less is known about the adaptability of tree vascular systems to increasing water deficits at the intraspecific level. Information on the between-population and within-population variability of xylem traits helps assessing a species’ ability to cope with climate change. We investigated the variability of wood anatomical and related hydraulic traits in terminal branches of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) trees across a precipitation gradient (520–890 mm year−1) and examined the influence of climatic water balance (CWB), soil water capacity (AWC), neighborhood competition (CI), tree height and branch age on these traits. Furthermore, the relationship between xylem anatomical traits and embolism resistance (P50) was tested. Within-population trait variation was larger than between-population variation. Vessel diameter, lumen-to-sapwood area ratio and potential conductivity of terminal branches decreased with decreasing CWB, but these traits were not affected by AWC, whereas vessel density increased with an AWC decrease. In contrast, none of the studied anatomical traits were influenced by variation in tree height (21–34 m) or CI. Branch age was highly variable (2–22 years) despite equal diameter and position in the flow path, suggesting different growth trajectories in the past. Vessel diameter decreased, and vessel density increased, with increasing branch age, reflecting negative annual radial growth trends. Although vessel diameter was not related to P50, vessel grouping index and lumen-to-sapwood area ratio showed a weak, though highly significant, positive relationship to P50. We conclude that the xylem anatomy of terminal tree-top branches in European beech is modified in response to increasing climatic aridity and/or decreasing soil water availability, independent of a tree height effect."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1093/treephys/tpac080"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/113741"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-597"],["dc.relation.eissn","1758-4469"],["dc.title","Branch xylem vascular adjustments in European beech in response to decreasing water availability across a precipitation gradient"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
