Objective To analyse the effects of prescribed burning on trees.This project proposes (i)to analyse the mechanisms leading toheat damages to crowns and trunks, (ii)to determine thethresholds for temperature reached or energy released beyondwhich prescribed burning leads to damages, (iii)to analyse themechanisms of heat resistance of leaves and trunks of treespecies by studying their morphology, their architecture andtheir physiology, (iv)to monitor temporal changes in effects ofburning and their consequences on tree vitality and (v)to monitorthe dynamics of nutrients in tree foliage.
