Forest death or forest change? Dr. Glow clarifies!

In the context of the forest death discussed in Germany, the Harz National Park is often mentioned at the center of attention. The geologist and conservationist Dr. In his lecture, Friedhart Knolle illuminates the various aspects of the forest and, in particular, deals with the increasing challenges for these ecosystems. What really happens with our forests and why do the spruces die in such a large number? These questions are at the center of a lecture that will take place in Celle on October 11th.

The lecture participant, Dr. Knolle, will deepen the topic of forest death and possible solutions. A remarkable fact is that the image that people get taught by dead trees often shows only part of reality. In the midst of the dead trees, numerous young plants sprout - including spruce, boars, pastures and birches, which gradually get back to the ecosystem.

The Situation in the Harz and the surrounding area

The worrying situation in the Harz National Park is not just a local problem. Here the spruces, which once played an important role as economically valuable tree, are severely affected. The reporting on the Brocken, where the extent of the spruce death became visible, has caused a sensation nationwide. But also in the Lower Saxony area of Celle there is a similar picture where pine were planted in monocultures that are now facing major challenges in times of climate change.

dr. Knolle explains: "The one -sided cultivation of spruces in the Harz and the pines in the Celler Land have meant that many forests are susceptible to pests and diseases." The monoculture created by humans has proven to be problematic, since the soils no longer deliver the necessary nutrients and the ecosystem is less robust to external influences.

In order to make the future forestry sustainably and to maintain the forests in our region, new ideas are required. What can a forestry of the 21st century look like that respects and takes into account the entire habitat of the forest? Dr. Discuss the tuber as part of his presentation, whereby the consideration goes beyond the mere survival of the trees. The focus here is on the creation of a diverse and species -rich forest that not only benefits nature, but also offers people a place of relaxation.
