How Dieseased Trees Point the Way to Resilient Forests

Freiburg, 14/03/2025

In many places, forests have to cope with extreme weather conditions in order to survive. The tree pathologist Dr Kathrin Blumenstein is researching the microorganisms that weaken trees under different climatic conditions and thus disrupt the material cycle in the forest. The findings aim to help to make an optimal selection when planting new trees.
