Temporal assessment of the evolution and changes in the resilience of representative forest stands in SUDOE

Mediterranean forests in the SUDOE area are facing an increase in droughts associated with climate change, threatening their stability and the ecosystem services they provide. A temporal assessment focusing on representative forest stands in south-western Europe analyses their resilience to these events using NDVI time series and environmental factors such as altitude, aspect, slope and forest management. The results show that adaptive forest management significantly improves post-drought recovery capacity, highlighting its key role in a context of growing climatic stress.

Four Locations for the Development of the Pilot Site in Nouvelle-Aquitaine

As part of this project, Xylofutur aims to establish a pilot zone in Nouvelle-Aquitaine with two innovative entities in the French forestry sector, particularly in the field of wildfire risk management. On the one hand, the project focuses on early fire detection, and on the other, on the post-fire phase, in order to accelerate and strengthen the growth of young plants through the use of biofertilisers. The objective is to promote innovations driven by start-ups that require funding and visibility to consolidate their activities.
