Plant climate-adapted species

#00072

Use targeted subsidies to fund the planting of at least two climate-adapted tree species per intervention in declining communal forests. In Alsace this is delivered through the Collectivité européenne d'Alsace's "Forêts d'Avenir d'Alsace" program, which has been running since 2021 and explicitly targets the Sundgau among other declining areas.

#00075Species suitability on clay unknown

The Sundgau's heavy clay soils, which become rock-hard and impenetrable when dry, are very different from the sandy or loamy soils where most candidate replacement species have been tested. There is no published guidance on which FAA-recommended species will actually succeed on Sundgau clay.
