forest conversion despite challenges

Another relevant topic in the field of forestry is forest conversion, especially with regard to the challenges due to wild verb. As forest knowledge , there are extensive findings about the connections between forest vegetation, wildlife habitat and the bite by shellwild. Experts identify important influencing factors such as light availability and deer density that are crucial for the success of measures.

In addition, valuable knowledge of the basics and scientifically examined examples is summarized in a manual that is created by a group of authors from southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This manual serves as the basis for locally adapted strategies for forest rejuvenation in view of climate change and the interactions between wild animals and forestry.
