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.
Planting of 1.09 hectares of cedars, oaks and beeches
Because of the shortening cold winters regulating insect populations, bark beetles are growing exponentially and eating away at stands. In the spruce forests of eastern France, the impact is considerable.
This epidemic causes rapid decline and even death of trees. This phenomenon is easily identifiable with the stands turning from green to brown or white, becoming sensitive to the slightest gust of wind. These “dry” woodlands end up crashing to the ground, giving way to desolate landscapes and no longer capture CO2. If the forest is neither adapted nor renewed, this situation can lead to its gradual disappearance.
As the trees no longer have any value, silvicultural management is also compromised. We are talking here about a “silvicultural impasse”.
This 1.09 hectare reforestation project, located between Brion and Nurieux-Volognat in Ain, will store 287 tonnes of CO2 equivalent over 30 years*.
The plots affected by the project will be entirely harvested because of the bark beetle. The existing population was unfortunately monospecific and reforestation is therefore essential. It was chosen to install a mixture of species (downy oak, beech and Atlas cedar) better suited to prolonged hot periods. The project has numerous co-benefits:
-A local forestry company will carry out the planting.
-Soil life and carbon will be preserved because the soil will only be cleared of the remnants of the old stand, which will be swathed. This way, organic matter will be preserved on the plot and the soil will not be left bare while the new trees grow.
-Downy oak and beech are typical of the area, and will make it possible to make hardwoods the majority compared to softwoods. Some hardwood trees already present will not be cut, as they are not affected by bark beetles.
* The final value of the estimate will only be established after verification by an independent auditor and an administrative verification decision.
