The forest of Mont Ventoux – a natural laboratory to study the effects of climate change

Mont Ventoux, near Avignon in southern France, is an outpost of the Alps that lie to the northeast. Today forests cover its slopes, but these trees are a relatively recent phenomenon. And they are threatened by climate change. In the new film produced in the framework of GenTree project, Dr Bruno Fady, Research Director at INRA, the French Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment, tells the story of the forests of Mont Ventoux and their uncertain future.
