Responses of soil mesofaunal communities to intensive woody biomass removal in jack pine forests of northeastern Ontario (Canada)
Canadian boreal forests support key ecosystem services of benefit to the forestry industry. Recent interest in intensifying woody biomass harvesting including debris (e.g., branches) for bioenergy production has raised concern regarding potential ecosystem consequences that might hinder sustainable forestry practices. However, assessments in Canadian boreal forests remain limited, especially based on biodiversity. This thesis offers a contribution by evaluating how biomass removal may influence soil biodiversity by studying two highly abundant taxa of mesofauna, Collembola and Oribatida, using taxonomic and functional approaches. The first objective was to (1) evaluate short-term effects (2 years) of an intensification gradient of biomass removal in jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lambert, 1803) stands following a clear-cut (harvesting of stem only, whole-tree (trunk, top and branches) as well as stump and organic soil removal) on the taxonomic structure of the communities of Collembola and Oribatida. The related environmental changes that may explain observed responses were also assessed (2). While both taxa showed somewhat contrasting responses, each community had significantly lower density and species diversity and more compositional shifts in response to biomass removal compared to uncut mature forest stands. These differences were especially marked with intensive practices of whole-tree harvesting with stump and that with additional organic soil removal. The harvesting gradient appeared to lead to a loss of suitable microhabitats through reduced organic cover including ground vegetation (mosses) and woody debris. The second objective was to (1) determine, for the same short-term experiment, whether the functional structure of Collembola and Oribatida communities changed in response to a gradient of biomass removal and (2) interpret if observed responses were linked to environmental changes. Morphological and life-history traits of both soil taxa were measured and their microhabitat preference and active dispersal ability were determined in order to assess community trait diversity and composition. Community trait structure of both soil taxa was modified by intense biomass removal showing lower diversity and shifts in trait composition. This functional homogenization was especially important for Oribatida with the loss of surface-dwelling species (larger, more sexually reproducing and mostly micro-detritivorous), while Collembola were more resilient. Environmental changes were mostly associated with a lower soil organic cover and modified microclimate and were exacerbated by drier conditions in the summer. The third objective was to (1) assess long-term effects (after 20 years) of intensive biomass removal on the taxonomic and functional structure of Collembola and Oribatida communities and (2) identify if persistent changes in soil conditions explained observed responses. Five long-term study sites established in jack pine stands with a similar biomass removal gradient in northeastern Ontario were sampled. Compared to uncut mature forest, taxonomic community structure of both taxa, especially Oribatida, were still modified by harvesting, especially in the most intensive removal practice, where significantly lower density and diversity as well as a shifted composition were observed. But functionally, responses differed. Oribatida communities still showed functional homogenization after 20 years, with few surface-dwelling, mostly micro-detritivorous and rapidly dispersing species after intensive removal, whereas trait structure of Collembola communities did not differ. Harvested plots still had reduced organic soil cover including the absence of moss and less woody debris, suggesting that the lack of suitable microhabitats persisted through time. In conclusion, soil mesofaunal communities were more modified and did not recover 20 years after very intense woody biomass removal (stump and organic soil removal after whole-tree harvesting) compared to currently approved practices (stem-only and whole-tree harvesting) and to uncut jack pine forests in northeastern Ontario. Longer-term monitoring that covers later development stages of these forests as well as comparing the mesofaunal community patterns following natural disturbance (e.g., wildfire) are needed to confirm these findings which, in turn, will assist in the development and assessment of sustainable forest management practices.
