Following the meeting with the Forest Health Department in June (see related article), evaluation of tree health was performed on OPTMix plots in collaboration with the University of Orléans (Cécile Barbaroux, Aurélien Salle, LBLGC laboratory), the National Forest Office (Michel Sottejeau) and the Forest Health Department (DSF). This operation took place from September 5 to September 14. The DSF scoring protocols were applied to about 400 trees. These scores will help interpret the results on the intra-annual growth and storage of glucidic reserves (see related article).
