We have something like 250 hectares of forest in the region East of Besançon, last summer we lost about 600 non warm climate pine trees[0]. This summer is not going to be better. We expect to lose all of them (at the moment about 125 hectares of trees) within the next 25 years. We think about introducing pine trees from Corsica, because they can support both heat waves and cold waves. The goal is increase the amount of deciduous trees and get the new pine trees just for the diversity. You want diversity to better resist diseases and parasitic attacks. Pine forests in France north of the 45 parallel have no heat resistant pine species and you can expect to be removed from the map if no actions are taken. Deciduous trees better support the heat waves because they lose the leaves and this reduce the drying. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinophyta https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinophyta
