Waldökosysteme

In the organizer's words:

Forests around the world are dying under the influence of climate change. This phenomenon is now also hitting Germany with full force: an area of forest equivalent to that of the Saarland has fallen victim to the drought and heat of 2018 and 2019. The strictly protected alluvial forest has also been affected. The lecture reports on the acute crisis of a biodiversity hotspot. A growing city, drainage, introduced harmful fungi and climate change are pushing the system to its limits. Participants will learn about the exciting results of the Leipzig alluvial forest crane and the iDiv biodiversity research center, about conflicts within nature conservation and about the joint struggle of the players (nature conservation, flood protection, tourism, city, country, etc.) for solutions.
