<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>Accor\u00adding to the Carbon Inven\u00adtory 2019<\/a> the annual biomass growth of forests was of parti\u00adcular signi\u00adfi\u00adcance for Germany\u2019s CO2 climate protec\u00adtion balance. Accor\u00adding to this, our forest areas stored around 1.23 billion tonnes of carbon in living biomass. As a result, the forest removed 62 million tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere each year \u2013 this corre\u00adsponded to 7% of total German green\u00adhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n Due to climate change \u2013 lack of rainfall\/higher tempe\u00adra\u00adtures \u2013 there are currently dramatic dieback processes across more than 900,000 hectares of forest in Germany, with a rising trend<\/a>.<\/p>\n This loss of forest and the failure of secured biomass growth leads to a lasting reduc\u00adtion in CO2 compen\u00adsa\u00adtion through forest growth. The results of the fourth Federal Forest Inven\u00adtory<\/a> (p.7) show that, as a result of forest dieback caused by climate change and the associated loss of living biomass, the forest has become a carbon sink since 2017.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Drinking Water Forest plantings regene\u00adrate damaged areas and protect our climate.
