Summary

Where, when and how should we intervene in forests that protect against natural hazards? This guide suggests methodologies applied in the southern French Alps that could be transposed to forest stands in the northern Alps or the Pyrenees, and to non-forest environments. Surface erosion is the main hazard concerned, not forgetting phenomena such as torrential flooding, landslides, rock falls and avalanches. The forest species covered are Austrian pine, Scots pine, mountain pine, European larch, European silver fir, beech and white oak. Rules for intervention are given per hazard and per type of plant formation. The guide also covers management of moorland, meadows, and areas with little vegetation or stony areas. It is intended for management staff responsible for forests that protect against natural hazards, and particularly for managers of different forest stands.
