Role of Climate, Stand Dynamics and Past Management in Forest Declines: A Review of Ten Years of Field Ecology in France

  • Chapter
Book cover Forest Decline in the Atlantic and Pacific Region

Abstract

During the past decade, various forest declines have motivated multidisciplinary research in France. This review mainly focuses on ecological field studies, the general objective of which is to assess the impact of site, climatic, silvicultural and genetic factors on decline.
