In the central Harz region, over 90% of spruce trees are dead or dying because of climate change and pests. But there may be a silver lining to these withering landscapes. The Harz National Park decided to let nature take its course \u2014 and did not fight the bark beetle. And nature is doing its thing. Upon closer inspection, shrubs and young trees are springing up at the base of towering dead spruces.<\/p>\n<p>The first ones to take root were the pioneer tree species like the birch or willow, whose seeds are spread widely and quickly by the wind or birds. But the forest still needs a little help and formerly native species like beech are being reintroduced. But the dead spruce trees also release CO2 while decaying, which means these forests store less CO2 overall compared to healthy ones. The hope is that the carbon-storage capacity of new trees growing in the Harz will compensate in the long-term.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s just one part of the story. The national park is a protected area that is no longer used to produce timber. But just 3% of Germany&#8217;s forests are protected. Public or private foresters use the rest to produce timber, for example \u2014 an industry that is projected to grow as the demand for sustainable building materials increases.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/why-germanys-dying-forests-could-be-good-news\/a-70461269\">Deutsche Welle<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-612\/\">Why Germany&#8217;s dying forests could be good news<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,610,1038,16462],"class_list":["post-134468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-forest","tag-germany","tag-spruce"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134468","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134468"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134468\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
