- [2/5] L’Observatoire des forêts françaises, lancé en 2023, centralise les données pour aider à mieux gérer les forêts. Il permet de suivre la santé des écosystèmes, d’évaluer les stocks de carbone et d’imaginer des scénarios d’adaptation au réchauffement. #HGGSP #geography #forests
- [3/5] D’ici 2100, la forêt devra s’adapter à +4°C, un changement équivalent à plusieurs millénaires d’évolution. L’outil utilise un jumeau numérique fondé sur l’IA pour simuler l’impact du climat, des coupes, et des choix d’essences sur le carbone et la biomasse. #HGGSP #geography #forests
- [4/5] La filière bois-forêt emploie 400.000 personnes, plus que l’aéronautique, mais affiche un déficit commercial de 8,5 Mds €. Adapter la forêt, c’est aussi adapter l’industrie aux nouvelles essences, relancer les vocations et préserver une ressource stratégique. #HGGSP #geography #forests
- [5/5] L’outil propose une cartographie interactive avec des données locales, utiles pour la prévention incendie ou la sélection d’essences adaptées. Il renforce le dialogue entre État, experts, élus et citoyens pour mieux faire face à la crise forestière. #HGGSP #geography #forests
- [1/5] @dompialot.bsky.social montre que la forêt française, qui couvre 30% du territoire, est essentielle au climat. En 2019, elle stockait 2,8 Mds de tonnes de carbone, mais sa capacité d’absorption diminue fortement à cause des maladies, sécheresses et coupes sanitaires. #HGGSP #geography #forests
- At #UNFF20, participants discussed the #communication and outreach strategy of its Strategic Plan for #Forests. Many commended the International Day of Forest celebrations, highlighting their importance in raising awareness and promoting direction action for forest #conservation and #restoration
