Label Bas Carbone
Examples: reducing the frequency of soil cultivation, minimalist plot preparation, restoring organic matter and preserving soil microfauna.
Examples: diversity and locality of crop species, preservation of habitat for local flora and fauna, presence of beehives for pollination.
Examples: territorial dynamics, societal demand, diversification of the activity, local sales/processing, working conditions, sharing of good practices.
Examples: Consideration of wetlands, use of adapted species, drip-connected irrigation tools.
Replacement of a dying spruce stand
Because of the shortening of cold winters regulating insect populations, bark beetles develop exponentially and nibble the stands. In the spruce forests of eastern France, the impact is considerable.
This epidemic causes rapid decline, even the death of trees. This phenomenon is easily identifiable with stands turning from green to brown or white, becoming sensitive to the slightest gust of wind. These “dry” forests end up crashing to the ground, giving way to desolate landscapes and no longer capture CO2. If the forest massif is neither adapted nor renewed, this situation can lead to its gradual disappearance.
Since the trees no longer have value, silvicultural management is also compromised. We are talking here about "silvicultural impasse".
This 13.84 hectare reforestation project located in Joudes in Saône-et-Loire will store 3879 tonnes of CO2 equivalent over 30 years*.
The plots concerned by the project will be entirely harvested because of the bark beetle. The stand in place was unfortunately monospecific and reforestation is therefore essential. It was decided to install a mix of species (red oak, nordmann fir, sycamore and plane maple, downy and pedunculate oak, torminal service tree and black alder) better suited to prolonged hot periods.
-A large part of these species are indigenous and will allow the establishment of hardwoods to replace the old stand made up of 100% conifers.
-PEFC certification is planned to guarantee sustainable management of the area and the work will be carried out by a local company.
-The organic matter of the soil will be enriched by crushing the residue of the old stand and shallow tillage in strips is planned to preserve the life of the soil.
-Finally a wetland will be restored and planted only with suitable species.
* The final value of the estimate will only be established after verification by an independent auditor and an administrative verification decision.
