The province of Haut-Katanga is one of the regions in the world that has experienced intense mining activity. This activity had high negative consequences on the environment, characterized by a high contamination of the soils around the mining and industrial areas. Thus, the objective of this work is to evaluate the heavy metal content in fruits and leaves of three tree species (Mangifera indica, Persea americana and Syzygium guineense) installed on polluted and unpolluted soils at the Penga Penga and Kalebuka districts in Lubumbashi. For each site, we collected 30 soil samples and 30 leaf and fruit samples respectively. Metal concentrations were analyzed in the leaves and fruits of the trees and in the soil collected from the base of each tree species. Soil from Penga Penga contained significantly higher levels of Cu, Zn, and Pb than soil from Kalebuka and references from the region. Although the metal content was generally higher in tree organs at Penga Penga, in some particular cases (Co: leaves, Co, Cu, As : fruits) it was similar or even higher at Kalebuka. Leaves of P. americana had a higher metal concentration at both sites, while for fruits the difference between species was specific for metals. Both fruits and leaves had significantly higher cobalt concentrations (2.5-8 mg kg-1) than the acceptable limit in fruits and vegetables (1 mg kg-1). After calculation of the bioconcentration factor (BCF), all the species had values lower than 1. These results suggest that the species do not accumulate trace metals but exclude them which is a good answer to the criteria of candidate species for phytostabilization of highly trace metal contaminated areas. La province du Haut-Katanga est l'une des régions au monde qui a connu une activité minière intense. Cette activité a entraîné des conséquences négatives très importantes sur l'environnement et caractérisées par une forte contamination des sols autour des zones minières et industrielles. Ainsi, l'objectif de ce travail est d'évaluer la teneur en métaux lourds des fruits et feuilles de trois espèces d’arbres (Mangifera indica, Persea americana et Syzygium guineense) installées sur des sols pollués et non pollués dans les quartiers de Penga-Penga et Kalebuka à Lubumbashi. Pour chaque site, nous avons collecté 30 échantillons de sol et 30 échantillons de feuilles et de fruits respectivement. Les concentrations de métaux ont été analysées dans les feuilles et les fruits des arbres et dans le sol prélevé au pied de chaque espèce d’arbre. Le sol de Penga Penga contient des teneurs en Cu, Zn et Pb largement plus élevée que celui de Kalebuka et les références de la région. Bien que la teneur en métaux fût globalement plus élevée dans les organes des arbres à Penga Penga, dans certaines particularités (Co : feuilles, Co, Cu, As : fruits) celle-ci était similaire, voir élevée à Kalebuka. Les feuilles de P. americana ont eu une concentration en métaux plus élevée dans tous les deux sites, alors que pour les fruits la différence entre espèce était spécifique aux métaux. Les fruits et les feuilles présentaient des concentrations en cobalt largement plus élevées (2,5 à 8 mg kg–1) que la valeur acceptable dans les fruits et légumes (1 mg kg–1). Après le calcul du facteur de bioconcentration (FBC), les espèces ont toutes donné des valeurs inférieures à 1. Ces résultats suggèrent que les espèces n'accumulent pas les éléments traces métalliques, mais les excluent ce qui est une bonne réponse aux critères des espèces candidates à la phytostabilisation des zones hautement contaminées métaux traces.

Les changements climatiques ne sont plus à prouver. Les sécheresses estivales sont une des conséquences mettant le plus à mal l’écosystème forestier. Face à la rapidité de ces modifications, une des solutions proposées pour accroitre la résilience des forêts est l’utilisation d’essences exotiques. Ces espèces introduites hors de leur aire de distribution naturelle sont-elles réellement la solution à l’équation ? Cette étude a pour but de discuter des potentialités et des risques de l’introduction du cèdre de l’Atlas en Belgique. Cet arbre réputé pour sa tolérance à la sécheresse est un candidat intéressant face aux problèmes actuels. Cependant, la prudence et la lucidité doivent être de mise. En effet, les essences exotiques ne sont pas exemptes de défauts et une analyse de risque est obligatoire pour ne pas aggraver la situation. C’est pourquoi, dans ce travail de fin d’étude, en plus de la littérature scientifique existante, plusieurs démarches ont été réalisées afin d’apporter différents éléments de réponses. Les objectifs de cette étude sont donc multiples : 1) Réaliser un monitoring dans les jeunes parcelles de cèdres actuelles afin de tirer des conclusions sur leurs croissances et leurs états de santé ; 2) Prévoir une potentielle propagation d’un agent pathogène dans les forêts wallonnes due à l’introduction du cèdre de l’Atlas : cas du Sirococcus tsugae ; 3) Prévoir un potentiel nouvel agent pathogène sur cet arbre : cas du Sirococcus conigenus. Les résultats ont montré qu’actuellement le cèdre se porte bien en Wallonie Une bonne production et un bon état de santé sont observés. Cependant, la pression du gibier et la sensibilité à la dominance sont les deux éléments qui ont causé les plus grands problèmes jusqu’ici. Concernant la première expérience d’inoculation, le cèdre, le tsuga et le mélèze semblent être fort sensibles à S. tsugae. Pour ce qui est de la deuxième, S. conigenus ne semble pas être un problème pour le cèdre même si quelques nécroses ont été observées. Il est vrai que le cèdre est un arbre avec des potentialités fortes intéressantes mais son introduction doit être limitée. En effet, des risques tels qu’une potentielle invasivité ou le manque de co-évolution ne sont pas quantifiable à l’heure actuelle. Les quelques plantations présentes en Belgique doivent donc servir de parcelles sentinelles et un suivi dans le temps est obligatoire afin de suivre l’évolution et l’adaptation de cette essence. Climate change is a proven fact. Summer droughts are one of the most damaging consequences for the forest ecosystem. Given the rapidity of these changes, one of the solutions suggested to increase the resilience of forests is the use of exotic species. Are these species introduced out of their natural area really the solution to the equation ? The aim of this study is to discuss the potentialities and risks of the introduction of Atlas cedar in Belgium. This tree, known for its drought’s resistance, is an interesting contender in the face of current problems. However, caution and lucidity must not be forgotten. Indeed, exotic species are not free of defects and a risk analysis is mandatory in order to not make thing worse. This is why, in this study, in addition to the existing scientific papers, several steps have been taken in order to provide different elements of answers. Aims of this study are multiple: 1) To carry out a monitoring in the young plots of cedars to draw conclusions on their growth and health status ; 2) To predict a potential propagation of a pathogen due to the introduction of Atlas cedar: case of Sirococcus tsugae ; 3) To predict a potential new pathogen on this tree: case of Sirococcus conigenus. These results showed that cedar is currently doing well in Wallonie. A good wood production and a good state of health are observed. However, game pressure and susceptibility to dominance are the two elements that have caused greatest problems so far. Concerning the first inoculation experiment, cedar, western hemlock and larch seem to be very sensitive to S. tsugae. Concerning the second, S. conigenus does not seem to be a problem for cedar although some necrosis has been observed. It is true that the Atlas cedar is a tree with interesting strong potential but its introduction should be limited. Indeed, risks such as potential invasiveness or lack of co-evolution are not quantifiable now. The few plantations present in Belgium must be therefore serve as sentinel plots and monitoring over time is mandatory in order to follow the evolution and adaptation of this species.

What are the causes and consequences of species diversity in forested ecosystems, and how is this species diversity being affected by rapid environmental and climatic change, movement of invertebrate and vertebrate herbivores into new biogeographic regions, and expanding human populations and associated shifts in land-use patterns? In this book, we explore these questions for assemblages of forest trees, shrubs, and understory herbs at spatial scales ranging from small plots to large forest dynamics plots, at temporal scales ranging from seasons to centuries, in both temperate and tropical regions, and across rural-to-urban gradients in land use.
