In the face of predicted climate change and shifts of distribution ranges, it is important to understand the diverse climate–growth relationships towards distribution margins. Beech is generally reported to be sensitive to summer drought towards dry and continental regions; yet, few studies have investigated climate sensitivity towards the cold distribution margin of beech. We hypothesized that at colder sites (a) growth of beech is more sensitive to winter cold, (b) growth is less influenced by summer drought, and (c) stand‐wide growth reductions (negative pointer years) are related to extreme winter cold events. Taxon European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.). Location A large gradient of decreasing winter temperature (ΔT >4 K along 500 km) from Rostock (Germany) to Gdańsk (Poland). Methods We analysed climate–growth relationships and the nature of growth reductions of 11 beech stands from more central to cold marginal beech populations. Results Towards the cold marginal populations, growth became increasingly sensitive to winter cold (February temperature) and less sensitive to summer water availability (June precipitation). Likewise, negative pointer years coincided with winter cold anomalies at the colder sites and with summer drought anomalies at the warmer sites. Thus, over the studied gradient, the general sensitivity of beech to summer drought transitions into sensitivity to winter cold. Main conclusions A range shift of beech across the current cold distribution margin is often assumed to compensate for habitat and productivity losses of drought‐prone southern and central populations. With respect to the winter cold sensitivity found in our study, such assumptions should be taken with caution. Since winter cold events are predicted to persist with similar frequency and magnitude even during predicted climate warming, beech populations in the newly colonized habitat might be significantly sensitive to winter cold."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/jbi.13444"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/62387"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0305-0270"],["dc.title","Winter matters: Sensitivity to winter climate and cold events increases towards the cold distribution margin of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.)"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","no"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","unpublished"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We analysed agricultural census data comprising all farms (N = 105 314) in the study area and identified 26 typical crop portfolios.

Successful regeneration is crucial for population persistence and range expansion. Thus, we aimed to identify environmental variables that affect germination and seedling establishment of Europe's dominant forest tree, to compare the importance of plasticity and genetic variation for regeneration, and to evaluate the regeneration potential at and beyond the southern and northern distribution margins. Location Europe. Time period 2016–2018. Major taxa studied European beech (Fagus sylvatica (L.)). Methods We investigated how germination, establishment and juvenile survival change across a reciprocal transplantation experiment using over 9,000 seeds of beech from 7 populations from its southern to its northern distribution range margins. Results Germination and establishment at the seedling stage were highly plastic in response to environmental conditions. Germination success increased with warmer and declined with colder air temperature, whereas establishment and survival were hampered under warmer and drier conditions. Germination differed among populations and was positively influenced by seed weight. However, there was no evidence of local adaptation in any trait. Main conclusions The high plasticity in the early life‐history traits found irrespective of seed origin may allow for short‐term acclimatization. However, our results also indicate that this plasticity might not be sufficient to ensure the regeneration of beech in the future due to the low survival found under dry and hot conditions. The future climatic conditions in parts of the distribution centre and at the rear edge might thus become limiting for natural regeneration, as the likelihood of extreme heat and drought events will increase. By contrast, at the cold distribution margin, the high plasticity in the early life‐history traits may allow for increasing germination success with increasing temperatures and may thus facilitate natural regeneration in the future."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100001659"],["dc.description.sponsorship","Forest Research Institute in Poland"],["dc.description.sponsorship","European Research Council Synergy Grant"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/geb.13320"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/87710"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-441"],["dc.relation.eissn","1466-8238"],["dc.relation.issn","1466-822X"],["dc.rights","This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited."],["dc.title","High plasticity in germination and establishment success in the dominant forest tree Fagus sylvatica across Europe"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Numerous large-scale decomposition experiments have been conducted focusing on this fundamental soil process in order to understand the controls on the terrestrial carbon transfer to the atmosphere. However, previous studies were mostly based on site-specific litter and methodologies, adding major uncertainty to syntheses, comparisons and meta-analyses across different experiments and sites. In the TeaComposition initiative, the potential litter decomposition is investigated by using standardized substrates (Rooibos and Green tea) for comparison of litter mass loss at 336 sites (ranging from -9 to +26 °C MAT and from 60 to 3113 mm MAP) across different ecosystems. In this study we tested the effect of climate (temperature and moisture), litter type and land-use on early stage decomposition (3 months) across nine biomes. We show that litter quality was the predominant controlling factor in early stage litter decomposition, which explained about 65% of the variability in litter decomposition at a global scale. The effect of climate, on the other hand, was not litter specific and explained <0.5% of the variation for Green tea and 5% for Rooibos tea, and was of significance only under unfavorable decomposition conditions (i.e. xeric versus mesic environments). When the data were aggregated at the biome scale, climate played a significant role on decomposition of both litter types (explaining 64% of the variation for Green tea and 72% for Rooibos tea). No significant effect of land-use on early stage litter decomposition was noted within the temperate biome.

While recent trends in thermal and hydrometeorological climate factors have been studied in many regions on earth, less is known about long-term change in climate variables most relevant for tree health and productivity, i.e., temperature (T), precipitation (P), climatic water balance (CWB), and SPEI aridity index in early and mid-summer, when leaf unfolding and peak stem growth take place. Here, we analyze T, P, CWB, and SPEI trends separately for all growing season months (April-September) during the 1948–1982 (before the recent warming) and 1983–2017 periods (after the onset of warming) in their spatial variation across the North German Lowlands based on a dense climate station network. While trends in thermal and hydrometeorological variables were weak from 1948 to 1982, we find a significant decrease in April precipitation and increase in July precipitation from 1983 to 2017 throughout much of the study region, while June precipitation has decreased locally by 10 mm or more (or up to 20%). The cumulated growing-season CWB has deteriorated by up to 30 mm from 1948–1982 to 1983–2017 in most of the region except at the North Sea coast, where it became more favorable. Recent climate aridification is more pronounced in the drier South-east of the study region with a more continental climate, as indicated by stronger negative P, CWB, and SPEI trends for April, May, and June.

This contrasts with a higher annual production of foliar litter and a much higher fine root biomass in beech stands, indicating that soil C sequestration is unrelated to the production of leaf litter and fine roots in these stands on Pleistocene sandy soils. The pools of available P and basic cations tended to be higher under beech. Neither precipitation nor temperature influenced the SOC pool, whereas tree species was a key driver.
