Thursday 7 ^th April 2011 - Field trip to the Ventoux mountain

REMINDER: Bring your field trip ticket.

The field trip complements the seminar, forms an integral part of the Mediterranean Forest week and is designed to enhance interactions between decision makers + managers, and scientists. The field trip is built around three topics:

1) The Ventoux mountain (el. 1910 m a.s.l.); 150 years of a success story: from bare slopes to continuous forest cover, from a desertified area to a biosphere reserve.

2) Modelling the dynamics of heterogeneous forests as background to management.

3) Forest health and vitality: dieback related to climate change.

Meeting point at 7:30 - bottom part of Pont St. Benezet (Pont d'Avignon)
