Die Transformation gestalten: Wasser - Kohlenstoff - Waldumbau 11.-13. Juni 2025
Take an active part in shaping the future of our forests!
From 11 to 13 June 2024, we will shed light together on how beech forests can be made climate-ready. What role does deadwood play in the resilience of forests to drought and in carbon storage? How does climate change affect the water balance in forests?
At the symposium, science and practice will come together to discuss answers to these pressing questions. Exciting insights into the BENEATH and WAIKLIM research projects await you - in the lecture theatre and directly in the forest. Discuss concrete solutions for forestry practice and experience how research and practice complement each other perfectly!
Become part of the dialogue and help drive the transformation forward!

Shaping the change: Water, Carbon, Forest Restructuring
The focus is on the following questions:
- What role does deadwood play in the resilience of forests to drought and in carbon storage?
- How does climate change influence the water balance of beech forests and what effects are to be expected for carbon storage?
- How can we convert our forests to make them fit for climate change?
- What options are there in the transition phase to maintain and promote the stability of old-growth stands and the vitality of pre-plantings in equal measure?
