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 spruce stand attacked by bark beetles
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 3.37 hectare reforestation project located in Plateau d'Hauteville in Ain will store 988 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 mixture of species (European larch, beech, silver fir, sycamore maple, wild cherry and wild service tree) better suited to prolonged hot periods. The project has many co-benefits:
-A local forestry work company will carry out the plantation and the old stand will be valued in a local sawmill in Outriaz.
- The life and carbon of the soil will be preserved because the soil will only be cleared of the remains of the old stand which will be put in windrows. Thus the organic matter will be preserved on the plot and the soil will not be left bare while the new trees grow.
-The 6 species of the project are all typical of the area, no exotic species are introduced. Some trees of ecological interest already present will not be cut down and kept for their role in the ecosystem.
-The project borders a watercourse, no conifers will be planted nearby to preserve the quality of the water.
* The final value of the estimate will only be established after verification by an independent auditor and an administrative verification decision.
