Forest inventory in Bordesholm: Schleswig-Holstein's trees in focus!
The Schleswig-Holstein Forestry Ministry is planning to hold an important event in the forest near Bordesholm on Tuesday at 1 p.m. The results of the so-called federal forest inventory for the northern federal states are presented here. This inventory between 1987, 2002 and 2012 is now the fourth of its kind and aims to record the forests in Germany in detail. This is called a comprehensive survey in which numerous trees are evaluated and documented in a defined grid.
The current condition of the forests in Schleswig-Holstein is particularly remarkable. According to the current forest condition report from 2023, the more favorable weather has had a positive impact on the forests. Forestry Minister Werner Schwarz from the CDU stated in his foreword that severe damage to the forests had decreased. This is encouraging news for the forestry industry and shows that forest management measures appear to be starting to bear fruit.
Another interesting aspect is that Schleswig-Holstein is considered to be the country with the least forest in Germany. However, despite this fact, the country has a significant proportion of deciduous and mixed forests. These types of forests are less susceptible to pests compared to monocultures. This means that biodiversity is promoted in these forests, which contributes to the long-term stability of forest ecosystems.
However, the upcoming presentation is not just a repeat of previous surveys; it could also provide new insights into the ecological condition and development of the forests in northern Germany. The fact that many trees can now grow under better conditions could also be of great importance in the public discussion about climate change and the protection of forests.
In summary, it can be said that the upcoming results of the federal forest inventory are of considerable interest for Schleswig-Holstein and the north as a whole. They not only offer insights into the condition of the forests, but also provide information about the sustainability and ecology of these valuable natural resources. Details of the results and their significance for the forestry industry are expected to be announced on Tuesday. as www.welt.de reports.
