Soil carbon sampling of the university forest successfully completed

The comprehensive sampling of soil carbon in the university forest has been successfully completed. Almost 1000 soil samples were taken at a total of 158 representative points in order to create a precise soil carbon balance as part of the REKLINEU sub-project AP5.

Soil hydrological investigations as a new project in Sommerhausen Forest

The Sommerhausen forest, located near the wildlife park near Sommerhausen, is the focus of an ecological reforestation project that aims to restore forest areas affected by drought damage. This damage results from the hydrologically unfavorable conditions of the sites, which are increasingly affected by periods of drought as a result of climate change. The aim of the project is to optimize site conditions through targeted soil improvement measures and thus strengthen the resilience of the forest to future climatic challenges.

Field practical course on the physical geography and soil science of the university forest

Students learn about the physical geography and soil science of the university forest during a field internship, and Bavarian radio makes a TV report about the special features of the university forest.
