The aim was to find a way to precisely date the volis to obtain a chronological sample which corresponded to the time of vegetation opening due to the fall of a holm oak and up to complete vegetation closure. The best marker appeared to be Phillyrea latifolia, a typical maquis tree found in association with the holm oak, which has a high capacity to produce stem sprouts after the breakage. In order to date the chablis, rings from the stem sprouts must be counted and a careful observation of the other species must be made to confirm results.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
