The project objectives are to be achieved by working on the following work packages (WP): WP1 "Establishment and demonstration of a forest living lab (FLL)". In this work package, experimental sites are established with nine fully instrumented...
Term: 2025-06-01 bis 2028-05-31Timing negative emissions from German forests and forest products under increasing disturbance risk and overshooting
The aim of ForestOvershoot is to investigate the interactions between forest damages, pests and diseases, changes in forest management and the increasing use of wood in the construction sector on the provision of negative emissions from the forest...
Term: 2025-11-01 bis 2028-10-31From trees to biome: scaling carbon fluxes in climate change (DIFATTO)
The Amazon rainforest is one of the most biodiverse areas on earth and is also a huge carbon sink. It therefore plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. However, the uptake and release of carbon is spatially very heterogeneous and depends on...
Term: 2025-04-01 bis 2028-03-31Improving the resilience of native tree species to climate change-induced stress by using of sulphur-induced resistance/tolerance (SiRT) - Subproject 3: Selection and classification of forest sites regarding the sulfur nutritional status of the trees
Near-natural commercial forest ecosystems are not only important producers of the renewable raw material "wood", but are also of great ecological importance. To enable their sustainable management even under the stressful conditions of global...
Term: 2024-05-01 bis 2027-04-30Future lab - towards forests resilient to climate change
Central Europe has become a hotspot for extreme climatic events over the last ten years. Unprecedented combined drought and temperature anomalies such as in 2018, 2019 and 2022 have had a massive impact on forest ecosystems, including widespread...
Term: 2024-08-19 bis 2030-10-31SPRUCESAVER
Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] H.Karst.) showed severe mortality following the extreme summers of 2018 and 2019, but also in the following years, mainly in off-site situations, triggered by epidemic outbreaks of bark beetles. Spruce still is the...
Term: 2024-11-01 bis 2027-10-31Evaluate and efectively utilize climate protection potentials of agroforestry (KlimAF) TP1 JKI_WS
Agroforestry systems and hedgerows can greatly contribute to mitigating GHG emissions in agriculture, as tree strips and hedgerows can store carbon in their biomass and increase soil organic. In addition, these systems improve microclimate, reduce...
