  • Sylviculture

Plantation de jeunes arbres sous le couvert d'un peuplement existant.

OBS

[...] le forestier prend [...] les devants en plantant lui-même un sous-étage d'une essence d'ombre capable de vivre ou de vivoter, qui protège le sol contre la dégradation des agents extérieurs ou l'envahissement d'une végétation indésirable. On comprendra que ce sous-étage ne s'impose généralement que dans les peuplements d'essences de lumière (pin, mélèze, chêne). [...] La plantation doit s'effectuer assez tôt, en tout cas dès que les premiers signes d'accès de la lumière se manifestent au niveau du sol.
