SyCoMore PROGRAMME

CONTEXT & OBJECTIVES

SyCoMore is a research programme on the adaptation of forests to climate change, which aims to assess forest stress and renew tree species to ensure the economic and ecological sustainability of the forestry and wood sector in the context of climate change.

The Ambition Research Development Centre-Val de Loire (ARD CVL) SyCoMore project (Precision and Connected Forestry) is led by the centre INRAE Val de Loire. It brings together all the regional partners studying trees, forests and pests, both in the academic (CNRS, INRAE, INSA Centre Val de Loire, University of Orléans, University of Tours) and socio-economic fields (Fibois-Centre Val de Loire, CNPF-IDF, ONF, UNISYLVA, Dream Eaux et milieu, VEGEPOLYS VALLEY, AgreenTechValley, CybeleTech), LE STUDIUM IAS and Centre Sciences.

RESEARCH

Three research projects explore the following themes:

Detection and mapping of forest stress
Modelling tree growth and stress processes
Renewal of the region's forests to make them more resilient to climate change
Creation and evaluation of innovative renewal techniques
Creation of innovative diagnostic and monitoring tools for renewal
Forest genetic resources for the future and their resilience to climate change
