Les impacts de la guerre du Việt Nam sur les forêts d’A Lưới

During the Việt Nam war, the Hồ Chí Minh trail crossed the present district of A Lưới (Thừa Thiên Huế province, central Việt Nam). Consequently, a great quantity of herbicides was sprayed and many bombs were dropped on this area. Forests were a prime target. These military practices have consequence...
