Gestion et fonctions forestières
Menu principal
Les forêts fournissent une vaste gamme de produits et services essentiels pour répondre aux besoins d’une société durable. Nos recherches visent à quantifier, comprendre et surveiller nos forêts, à améliorer leur capacité à fournir un ensemble équilibré de prestations, ainsi qu’à promouvoir leur utilisation et leur gestion durables.
Les forêts procurent des ressources indispensables qui doivent être équilibrées et harmonisées avec les autres fonctions et services qu’elles offrent, comme l’exige la Loi fédérale suisse sur les forêts. Il est donc essentiel de connaître la superficie et la localisation de nos forêts, leur évolution au fil du temps et l’impact des activités humaines sur elles. Par exemple, comment les forêts suisses s’adapteront-elles au futur climat? Existe-t-il des solutions intelligentes permettant d’encourager cette adaptation? A quel point les forêts pourront-elles atténuer les effets des changements climatiques? Quelles activités de gestion peuvent-elles préserver la biodiversité? Comment exploiter nos forêts en minimisant l’impact sur le sol et l’environnement immédiat? Est-il possible de trouver un équilibre viable entre les besoins de la population et ceux de la faune et de la flore sauvages?
Au WSL, nous créons les bases scientifiques nécessaires à une meilleure compréhension des processus forestiers. Par notre travail, nous aidons les acteurs politiques, économiques et sociaux à garantir l’utilisation durable de nos forêts.
Plus d’un siècle de recherches forestières
Observer, inventorier, surveiller et étudier nos forêts ainsi que la disponibilité des ressources en bois – ces tâches figurent parmi nos principales missions depuis plus de 100 ans. Nos premières observations à long terme de placettes permanentes remontent à la fin du XIXe siècle. Aujourd’hui, notre activité comprend également des recherches sur les réserves forestières (en collaboration avec l’ETH Zurich) et l’Inventaire forestier national, ou IFN. Ce dernier est un programme majeur réalisé en partenariat avec l’Office fédéral de l’environnement (OFEV), régulièrement mis en œuvre sur plus de 6000 placettes à travers la Suisse.
Des forêts pour tous
Les forêts sont utilisées de maintes façons par de nombreuses personnes qui en attendent une grande variété de produits et services. Il peut en résulter des attentes différentes et des conflits. Notre objectif est de comprendre comment les différentes structures forestières peuvent favoriser l’équilibre entre ces fonctions. Dans ce contexte, nous:
- mettons au point et suggérons des mesures de gestion destinées à fournir une protection contre les risques naturels, à promouvoir les forêts en tant qu’habitat pour la faune et la flore et en tant qu’espace de loisirs, et enfin à optimiser leur contribution en vue de réduire l’impact des changements climatiques;
- étudions les enjeux économiques et sociaux liés aux forêts et à leur exploitation. Par exemple, nous examinons les conséquences des politiques forestières ainsi que l’attitude de la population vis-à-vis des forêts et déterminons comment calculer la valeur économique des fonctions forestières.
Modèles et simulations
Nous hébergeons des référentiels de données à long terme de renommée internationale sur les écosystèmes forestiers. Ces données proviennent des inventaires forestiers, des placettes permanentes ou de projets sur la croissance, la production et les réserves forestières. Elles constituent la base d’un large éventail d’outils de modélisation et de prévision mondialement reconnus, y compris des méthodes statistiques, des technologies de l’information et des modèles de décision. Nous pouvons simuler une série de scénarios relatifs au climat, au marché et à l’accessibilité des ressources en bois afin de favoriser une gestion et une utilisation durables des forêts suisses.

Les ongulés sauvages se nourrissent de jeunes arbres, principalement en hiver. Le «pourcentage d’abroutissement» permet de mesurer la charge que les animaux exercent sur leur espace vital, en indiquant la proportion de jeunes arbres dont certaines parties ont été abrouties.
