Synthetic aperture radar sensitivity to forest changes: A simulations-based study for the Romanian forests

Natural and anthropogenic disturbances pose a significant threat to forest condition. Continuous, reliable and accurate forest monitoring systems are needed to provide earlywarning of potential declines in forest condition. To address that need, state-of-the-art simulationsmodelswere used to evaluate the utility of C-, L- and P-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors within an integrated Earth-Observation monitoring system for beech, oak and coniferous forests in Romania. The electromagnetic simulations showed differentiated sensitivity to vegetation water content, leaf area index, and forest disturbance depending on SAR wavelength and forest structure. C-band data was largely influenced by foliage volume and therefore may be useful for monitoring defoliation. Changes in water content modulated the C-band signal by b1 dBwhichmay be insufficient for a meaningful retrieval of drought effects on forest. Cband sensitivity to significant clear-cuts was rather low (1.5 dB). More subtle effects such as selective logging or thinning may not be easily detected using C- or L-band data with the longer P-band needed for retrieving small intensity forest disturbances. Overall, the simulations emphasize that additional effort is needed to overcome current limitations arising from the use of a single frequency, acquisition time and geometry by tapping the advantages of dense time series, and by combining acquisitions from active and passive sensors. The simulation results may be applicable to forests outside of Romania since the forests types used in the study have similar morphological characteristics to forests elsewhere in Europe.Romanian National Agency for Scientific Research and Innovation Authorit

Near-Field Seismic Motion: Waves, Deformations and Seismic Moment

The tensorial force acting in a localized seismic focus is introduced and the corresponding seismic waves are derived, as solutions of the elastic wave equation in a homogeneous and isotropic body. The deconvolution of the solution for a structured focal region is briefly discussed. The far-field waves are identified as P and S seismic waves. These are spherical-shell waves, with a scissor-like shape, and an amplitude decreasing with the inverse of the distance. The near-field seismic waves are spherical-shell waves, decreasing with the inverse of the squared distance. The amplitudes and the polarizations of the near-field seismic waves are given. The determination of the seismic-moment tensor and the earthquake parameters from measurements of the P and S seismic waves at Earth’s’ surface is briefly discussed. Similarly, the mainshock generated by secondary waves on Earth’s surface is reviewed. The near-field static deformations of a homogeneous and isotropic half-space are discussed and a method of determining the seismic-moment tensor from epicentral near-field (quasi-) static deformations in seismogenic regions is presented

Short-Term Seismic Activity in Vrancea. Inter-Event Time Distributions

Short-term seismic activity in Vrancea is analyzed by means of the inter-event magnitude distributions (distributions of the next seismic event following a conditional seismic event). This seismic activity in Vrancea is fitted by Omori-type time-power laws, with possible correlations over a range of 20−25 days, for magnitudes M < 4−5. Such temporal patterns can be employed in seismic hazard and risk estimation, providing the data set is statistically significant

Assessment of the cover changes and the soil loss potential in European forestland: First approach to derive indicators to capture the ecological impacts on soil-related forest ecosystems

The Member States of the European Union have committed to the maintenance and protection of forestlands. More precisely, the Member States aim to ensure the sustainable development and managementof the EU’s forests. For 2013, Eurostat’s statistics about primary and secondary wood products in theEuropean forest land (65% thereof privately owned) estimate a roundwood production of 435 million m3in total. Harmonised information, i.e., spatially and temporarily differentiated, on forestry and woodharvesting activities in the European forests are missing however. This lack of information impedes thescientific assessment of the impacts that forest management practices have on the soil-related forestecosystems (e.g., accelerated water soil erosion, delivery of inert sediments and pollutants within thedrainage network, pauperization of aquatic ecosystems). It also prevents national and European institu-tions from taking measures aimed at an effective mitigation of the rapidly advancing land degradation.This study provides a first pan-European analysis that delineates the spatial patterns of forest coverchanges in 36 countries. The first dynamic assessment of the soil loss potential in the EU-28 forests isreported. The recently published High-resolution Global Forest Cover Loss map (2000–2012) was repro-cessed and validated. Results show that the map is a powerful tool to spatiotemporally indicate the forestsectors that are exposed to cover change risks. The accuracy assessment performed by using a confusionmatrix based on 2300 reference forest disturbances distributed across Europe shows values of 55.1% (pro-ducer accuracy) for the algorithm-derived forest cover change areas with a Kappa Index of Agreement(KIA) of 0.672. New insights into the distribution of the forest disturbance in Europe and the resultingsoil loss potential were obtained. The presented maps provide spatially explicit indicators to assess thehuman-induced impacts of land cover changes and soil losses on the European soil-related forest ecosys-tems. These insights are relevant (i) to support policy making and land management decisions to ensurea sustainable forest management strategy and (ii) to provide a solid basis for further spatiotemporalinvestigations of the forestry practices’ impacts on the European forest ecosystems.JRC.H.5-Land Resources Managemen

Spring and Autumn Phenology in Sessile Oak (Quercus petraea) Near the Eastern Limit of Its Distribution Range

Due to the visible and predictable influence of climate change on species&rsquo; spatial distributions, the conservation of marginal peripheral populations has become topical in forestry research. This study aimed to assess the spring (budburst, leaf development, and flowering) and autumn (leaf senescence) phenology of sessile oak (Quercus petraea), a species widespread across European forests close to its ranges&rsquo; eastern limit. This study was performed in Romania between spring 2017 and 2020, and it included a transect with three low-altitude populations, a reference population from its inner range, and a sessile oak comparative trial. The temperature was recorded to relate changes to phenophase dynamics. We identified small variations between the reference and peripheral populations associated with climatic conditions. In the peripheral populations, budburst timing had day-of-year (DOY) values &lt;100, suggesting that sessile oak may be more susceptible to late spring frost. Furthermore, we found spring phenophase timing to be more constant than autumn senescence. Moreover, budburst in the sessile oak comparative trial had obvious longitudinal tendencies, with an east to west delay of 0.5&ndash;1.4 days per degree. In addition, budburst timing influenced leaf development and flowering, but not the onset of leaf senescence. These findings improve our understanding of the relationship between spring and autumn phenophase dynamics and enhance conservation strategies regarding sessile oak genetic resources

PRELIMINARY STUDY ON THE USE OF INNOVATIVE DEVICES FOR STRENGTH BUILDING IN THE PERIOD OF RECOVERY FOLLOWING LUMBAR CONDITIONS

In this research, we started from the premise that for developing a strength building routine, adapted to patients with lumbar conditions, we can use innovative devices that combine elastic resistance with the resistance provided by weights. Such devices include a concentric barbell-extensor system and an extensor pulley bar. By using these devices, we demonstrated – on a sample of even healthy young people with a mean age of 22.5 – that three weeks of exercising on these devices, without significantly soliciting the spine, increase the strength more than the classical weight training. It is worth mentioning that the manner of performing the exercises and the muscle groups solicited in classical exercises versus when using innovative equipments were highly similar
