Join our annual summer school in Natural Forestry and Ecology
Meet the experts in Natural Forestry and Ecology: At the European Natural Forest School, experts in forestry and forest conservation from institutions across Europe will gather to share their knowledge, skills and experience.
Advanced students from forestry and biological backgrounds, and young professionals in their early forestry or forestry conservation career will gain insights into natural forest ecology, conservation and forest management from those with a true understanding of the challenges involved in Europe.

Lesedauer ca. 3 Minuten Study: How does leaf litter affect soil organic carbon? Currently, there is an assumption that higher litter fall also implies higher soil carbon. Incorrectly, litter quality is rarely taken into account.
Lesedauer ca. 3 Minuten A study shows that the forest ecosystem shapes its environment, such as the microclimate or soil properties, to a greater extent than previously assumed. By influencing the environmental factors, the forest community as a whole is strengthened at the same time.
Lesedauer ca. 2 Minuten Study: Can land ecosystems go from being a carbon sink to a carbon source in the future? The study investigates whether climate change-induced temperature changes will bring the carbon uptake and release of terrestrial ecosystems to a tipping point.
