We started a collaborative project with Cécile Barbaroux and Aurélien Salé Biology Laboratory and Woody Crops ( LBLGC ) from the University of Orleans about tree reserves. We recently collected wood samples of the trees in trunks and roots of oak (mid -May) and pine (early June). The objective is to study how the competition within and between species change carbon tree reserves and the allocation between growth and reserves. Another sampling campaign is planned at the Autumn, and analysis of samples and data will be an internship Master 2 next year.
