Background informations
The pedunculate oak and ash recently dominated these two plots. Unfortunately, the high heat and successive droughts of the last few years have put an end to the natural regeneration of this species. A plantation is therefore necessary and it will be another variety of oak, the sessile oak that will be introduced here. Indeed this species tolerates much better than its predecessor the hydric stresses caused by the climatic changes we are undergoing. For the ash tree, it is hit hard (especially in the eastern and north-eastern part of France) by a parasitic fungus, chalarose, which causes a premature dieback of this species, affecting young trees in particular.
