This article talks about the impacts of global warming and adaptation measures on a farm in the Valais Pre-Alps, specifically a forest where silviculture is adapted to be resilient to climate and disease. In summary, forest professionals try to prepare the forest as well as possible so that it can...

Adaptation is a major stake of forest management in the climate change context The genetic diversity of forest trees confers them a huge - yet not boundless - adaptive potential Taking evolutionary mechanisms into account in adaptive forest management practices will reinforce the capacity of...

However, challenges to the maintenance of this multifunctionality could compromise the public interest. A bibliographic...

This special issue contains 6 papers on the following topics: (1) the 2019 forest health year in metropolitan France; (2) Massif Central foresters united around "continuous" silviculture; (3) CNPF PHOTOFOR, a unique photographic database on the forest; (4) a new variety of hybrid larch soon...

This article talks about planning for forest management for 10 years or more, which includes felling and work over the long period through sustainable management documents, which then improves and contributes to the production of more quality wood, while providing ecosystem services, real benefit...

This issue of the NFB Technical Referees is dedicated to the presentation of an October 2016 seminar that brought together various RTM service personnel, territorial agencies and mountain work agencies in Ubaye, on the theme of silviculture with the aim of protection against natural hazards in...

To better adapt forests to climate change, a silvicultural alternative is possible: ligniculture or adaptive traditional silviculture. This paper recomments good practices, such as the installation of silos, adapted objective species, anticipation of genetic resources, consideration of biodiversity ...

During the 19th century, rapid industrialization and urbanization processes in several European countries required huge quantities of wood for building construction, supporting structures in mines, rail sleepers, electric poles and pulpwood. In response to fast-growing demand for timber, German...

Managed sustainably, the Congo Basin forests have the potential to provide "sustainable nature-based solutions" to many issues related to water, energy, food and nutrition security, the fight against poverty, etc., and thus contribute to the achievement of several Sustainable Development Goals...
