reviewing lit on resilience and recovery

[teixeirak]

• [x] Trugman et al. 2018....
• [x] @gillerot_tree_2020 - Rt and Rs responded negatively to tree size in 3 species, Rc in 2 of the 3.
• [x] Merlin et al - mixed results, but; small/ medium oaks had lower Rc, mixed Rt. small/medium pines had higher Rs.

from Alan:

Most of the applications of the resilience metrics I have seen have been basic comparisons across species or across drought events.

• [x] I haven't read this paper, but the abstract mentions that tree size and age had a stronger influence on resilience than neighborhood tree density or species diversity. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10021-020-00501-y

• [x] This paper compares resistance and resilience in conifers and hardwoods: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/gcb.14803

• [ ] This one emphasizes that the resilience response is related to the growth during the pre-drought period: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/gcb.15153

• [ ] This one emphasizes the importance of neighborhood tree density: https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1365-2664.12847

• [x] This one presents conceptual models on how the resilience metrics might respond over multiple successive droughts and whether there could be indications of acclimation as climate changes: https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/nph.16703

from Lawren:

Presumably strong drought causes long-lasting damage-- leaves do not fully recover after long time spent below TLP (see Grace John et al 2019 PCE), and leaf shrinkage would also lead to damage, and ring porous are more vulnerable to serious embolism. So species with less negative TLP, stronger PLA and ring porous wood should be less resilient. We could call these "legacy effects" in the leaves and wood. What do you think?

from Neil:

I do not have any deep thoughts on this. I do not think much about/study recovery/ resilience. Alan and Lawren gave you great feedback. A couple of things you might be able to note: your research forest is significantly more diverse than many of the references Alan provided. It might not make a difference, especially if other factors are more important, but I often think about how uniquely situated we are in the east in terms of diversity [you know, outside the tropics]. Somewhat related, I didn’t look at all of the references sent, but many were on conifers. I suspect some processes and responses are universal, but some are not.

I think NSC could be invoked as important. Mariah Carbone indicated how old carbon can be in NSC of red maple.
