Mixed deciduous forests are more climate-resilient than conife­rous forests. Conver­ting pure conifer stands into mixed deciduous forests by using site-adapted as well as native deciduous trees is an important climate adapt­a­tion in times of incre­asing extreme weather events and droughts.

By conver­ting conifer monocul­tures into climate-resilient deciduous forests, ground­water recharge is improved. Here you will find corre­spon­ding excerpts from studies on the relati­onship between forest manage­ment and ground­water recharge.
