EU forests could absorb twice as much CO2

The study of the Naturwald Akademie Germany shows how the climatic performance of the forest can be improved in Europe through near-natural, low-impact forestry. In the ideal case, forests can bind twice as much CO2 from the atmosphere each year. For this to happen, the current practice of forest management would have to change throughout Europe.

Letter to the editor: incorrect data sustain use of data in connection with bioenergy from forests

In our letter to the editor of GCB Bioenergy we show, that burning of fresh stemwood that both increases the atmospheric greenhouse gas concentration and reduces functional natural carbon stocks as well as sinks is not reasonable.

Old forests go into weather extremes stronger

An international study, in which more than 90 scientists participated and in which 48 globally distributed, large forest areas were examined, shows that especially trees of large diameter are important for the forest ecosystem and the storage of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Voluminous trees have particularly importance for climate protection

An international study, in which more than 90 scientists participated and in which 48 globally distributed, large forest areas were examined, shows that especially trees of large diameter are important for the forest ecosystem and the storage of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

German forest is not close to nature and much too young

Study of the Natural Forest Academy: Almost 90 % of the forest area in Germany is in a poor condition in terms of nature conservation. This is the alarming conclusion of a recent study by the Naturwald Akademie. The authors of the “Alternative Forest Condition Report” published that this lack of near-natural forest ecosystems is leading to a severe loss of biological diversity.

Without management: beech become larger and more stable

Study of the Natural Forest Academy et al: Depending on the degree of management, beech trees change their shape. If the forest is weakly managed or has not been managed for a long time, beech trees become more stable than in traditional forestry. In addition, the amount of usable wood increases significantly, which could have consequences for forestry in the future.
