Two treatment of the partial rainfall exclusion experiment established in 2003 received a treatment of thinning. The experiment was set up on 100m² plots situated on a flat area, so that lateral flow of water is negligible and replicated three times. The first is submitted to a selective thinning from below with 33% of the basal area removed and the second is thinned and subjected to throughfall exclusion. These two treatments are replicated 3 time.
