A. Perone, C. Cocozza, P. Cherubini, O. Bachmann, more

Environmental Pollution > 2018 > 233 > C > 278-289

Monitoring atmospheric pollution in industrial areas near urban center is essential to infer past levels of contamination and to evaluate the impact for environmental health and safety. The main aim of this study was to understand if the chemical composition of tree-ring wood can be used for monitoring spatial-temporal variability of pollutants in Terni, Central Italy, one of the most polluted towns...

Quantifying decay progression of deadwood in Mediterranean mountain forests

G. Fravolini, R. Tognetti, F. Lombardi, M. Egli, more

Forest Ecology and Management > 2018 > 408 > C > 228-237

Forests contribute to the sequestration of organic carbon (C). A key role in forest C cycling is played by deadwood. While a broad range of literature on deadwood decay (above-ground) exists, the mechanisms occurring in the transition zone from deadwood to the humus are poorly understood. In particular, scarce information is available on the temporal patterns of wood compounds (such as lignin and...

Integrated biomonitoring of airborne pollutants over space and time using tree rings, bark, leaves and epiphytic lichens

C. Cocozza, S. Ravera, P. Cherubini, F. Lombardi, more

Urban Forestry & Urban Greening > 2016 > 17 > C > 177-191

The integrated use of tree rings and outer tissues, and lichens, was tested for monitoring how pollutant concentrations vary in space and over time nearby an incinerator in industrial area in Central Italy. Trace elements in thalli of lichen Xanthoria parietina and in leaves, bark, wood of Quercus pubescens, as well as carbon, oxygen and nitrogen isotope ratios in tree rings were analyzed. Some trace...

Investigating biochemical processes to assess deadwood decay of beech and silver fir in Mediterranean mountain forests

F. Lombardi, P. Cherubini, R. Tognetti, C. Cocozza, more

Annals of Forest Science > 2013 > 70 > 1 > 101-111

Context We investigated the relationships between decay classes, morphological characteristics and chemical compounds in Abies alba Mill. and Fagus sylvatica L. stumps in two forest stands in the central Apennines (Italy). The analysis of deadwood decomposition is important in estimating carbon sequestration potential and carbon residence time in forest ecosystems. In addition, deadwood decomposition...

Wood anatomical responses of oak saplings exposed to air warming and soil drought

P. Fonti, O. Heller, P. Cherubini, A. Rigling, more

Plant Biology > 15 > s1 > 210 - 219

Water is vital for plant performance and survival. Its scarcity, induced by a seasonal decline in soil water availability or an increase of evaporative demand, can cause failures of the water conducting system. An adequate tolerance to drought and the ability to acclimate to changing hydraulic conditions are important features for the survival of long‐lived woody plants in dry environments. In this...

Responses of leaf nitrogen and mobile carbohydrates in different Quercus species/provenances to moderate climate changes

M.‐H. Li, P. Cherubini, M. Dobbertin, M. Arend, more

Plant Biology > 15 > s1 > 177 - 184

Global warming and shortage of water have been evidenced in the recent past and are predicted for the future. Climate change will inevitably have considerable impact on plant physiology, growth, productivity and forest ecosystem functions. The present study determined the effects of simulated daytime air warming (+1 to 1.5 °C during the growing season), drought (−40% and −57% of mean precipitation...

Tree-rings reflect the impact of climate change on Quercus ilex L. along a temperature gradient in Spain over the last 100years

G. Gea-Izquierdo, P. Cherubini, I. Cañellas

Forest Ecology and Management > 2011 > 262 > 9 > 1807-1816

We analyzed tree rings over the past 100 years to understand the response of Quercus ilex L. to climate change at four different sites along a temperature gradient in a highly anthropogenically transformed ecosystem. To test the hypothesis of a climate change related decrease in productivity at warmer sites, we discuss the effect of historical management on the growth of forest stands and the spatio-temporal...

Wood-growth zones in Acacia seyal Delile in the Keita Valley, Niger: Is there any climatic signal?

G. Nicolini, V. Tarchiani, M. Saurer, P. Cherubini

Journal of Arid Environments > 2010 > 74 > 3 > 355-359

Acacia trees are a key element in Sahelian semiarid ecosystems, being some of the few tree species surviving in such extreme environments. Understanding their growth dynamics represents a fundamental step to improve forest sustainable management. Dendroclimatology, the study of tree rings and their relationships with climate, could help in understanding how changing climatic conditions may impact...

Impact of different nitrogen emission sources on tree physiology as assessed by a triple stable isotope approach

M.R. Guerrieri, R.T.W. Siegwolf, M. Saurer, M. Jäggi, more

Atmospheric Environment > 2009 > 43 > 2 > 410-418

The importance that nitrogen (N) deposition has in driving the carbon (C) sequestration of forests has recently been investigated using both experimental and modeling approaches. Whether increased N deposition has positive or negative effects on such ecosystems depends on the status of the N and the duration of the deposition. By combining δ ¹³ C, δ ¹⁸ O, δ ¹⁵ N and dendrochronological...

Modelling carbon budget of Mediterranean forests using ground and remote sensing measurements

M. Chiesi, F. Maselli, M. Bindi, L. Fibbi, more

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology > 2005 > 135 > 1-4 > 22-34

The current paper illustrates a method to operationally apply the model FOREST-BGC for the estimation of forest carbon fluxes in Mediterranean environments. The work was carried out in a pine forest stand within the coastal area of San Rossore (Central Italy) using both conventionally collected and remotely sensed data. The calibration of the model was performed using estimates of net primary productivity...

First detection of nitrogen from NO _x in tree rings: a ¹ ⁵ N/ ¹ ⁴ N study near a motorway

M. Saurer, P. Cherubini, M. Ammann, B. De Cinti, more

Atmospheric Environment > 2004 > 38 > 18 > 2779-2787

Nitrogen isotope analysis (δ ¹ ⁵ N) of tree rings is potentially useful for evaluating the temporal development of the nitrogen (N) deposition to forests and for studying the long-term effects of N accumulation in ecosystems. To test this hypothesis, we investigated three sites across a pollution gradient in differing distances (20,150,1000m) from a motorway in Switzerland, which was built...

Morphology and ecological significance of intra-annual radial cracks in living conifers

P. Cherubini, Fritz Hans Schweingruber, Theodor Forster

Trees > 1997 > 11 > 4 > 216-222

AbstractIntra-annual radial cracks were studied on 294 cross-sections of Norway spruce sampled at two forest sites in the eastern Alps (Italy) and from seven isolated trees in the Jura region (Switzerland). Cracks were occasionally accompanied by traumatic resin canals in the wood that was formed after the cracking. Most of the cracks, however, were without such canals. Traumatic resin canals are...

Biologic aggressiveness of essential hypertension and the rheologic pattern of blood.

F. Marletta, F. Nasrawi, Shi Y.D., R. Agosti, more

Clinical Hemorheology > 1995 > 15 > 3 > 542

The rheologic aspects of blood in essential hypertensive patients are well known since many years. Beside a slight to moderate increase in Ht along with increased low shear whole blood viscosity, an increase in erythrocyte aggregation is frequently observed. The main rheologic determinant of these features is fibrinogen, which is usually increased in hypertensives.The main landmark of hypertension...
