1 Challenges and threats for Mediterranean forests : Le Parc Naturel Régional du Luberon, a nice example! Thierry GAUQUELIN Member of CS du Parc Institut Mediterranéen de Biodiversité et d Ecologie! Workshop on Mediterranean forest management and Natura May 2016 Parc Naturel Régional du Luberon
2 Mediterranean forests???? Above all, forests subject to mediterranean climate. Therefore, no concept of structure, biological types or functional types.
3 Mediterranean climate : Climate marked by a strong deficit of precipitation during the warm season, causing stress for the vegetation which is submitted to a dry summer period. "#$%#&'()&#! &'*+,'--!!! P<2T Dry period./*0!! Stress!!!!!!

6 Concerning the structure, Evergreen and sclerophyllous but also decideous forests. Holm Oak forest Puechabon Beech forest, Gargano, Pouilles, Italy!!!!!!!!!!! Aleppo Pine forest
7 The Mediterranean region, a major hotspot of plant biodiversity 2.1 millions km2 under a Mediterranean bioclimate 10 regional hotspots of plant biodiversity 10% of vascular plants richness of the World on 1.6% of the Earth surface Europe : plant species on 9.9 millions km2 Médail F. & Quézel P., Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden, 84, completed by Véla E. & Benhouhou S., Comptes-Rendus Biologies, 330.

9 On the Northern shore of the Mediterranean basin, The main trend : -Increase of forestal areas But a lot of threats!: -Climate Change -Fragmentation -New forest use demands (timber, wood fuel, recreational activities) -Invasions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Cédraie of Luberon
10 Abandonment of agricultural and pastoral lands For mediterranean area (9% of the whole french forest): 1,33 millions ha in ,17 millions ha in 1989 Increase of ha by year

" -Study the different biodiversity levels from the mesofauna to the mycorhizal community which play a fundamental rule in ecosystems functioning -Linking biodiversity, evolution, dynamics and functioning -Linking nature and productive systems -Linking hard sciences and humanities and social sciences and Linking forestry, agricultural and social approaches and objectives.for all this, your Workshop on old growth forests!!!! - and perhaps, linking North and South of the Mediterranean: forest structure, dynamics and threats are very different on the two shores of the Mediterranean and confrontation between these different situations is essential to understand the global evolution of Mediterranean forests!
