\u2026 their history stret\u00adches back over 350 million years, to the age of the dinosaurs. Even then, they covered large parts of the planet and shaped the early forests of our Earth. This long evolu\u00adtion has made them true masters of adapt\u00ada\u00adtion: robust, undeman\u00adding and perfectly adapted to changing environ\u00admental condi\u00adtions.<\/p>\n
After distur\u00adbances such as forest fires, storm events or bark beetle infesta\u00adtion, ferns are often the first plants to colonise the affected areas. With their strong rhizomes and finely divided fronds, they stabi\u00adlise the soil, prevent erosion and retain moisture. In this way, they create favourable condi\u00adtions for the growth of other plants \u2013 a crucial contri\u00adbu\u00adtion to the natural regene\u00adra\u00adtion of the forest.<\/p>\n
In addition, ferns play an important role in biodi\u00adver\u00adsity. They provide habitat and shelter for numerous insects, small animals and micro\u00ador\u00adga\u00adnisms. Their large leaves provide shade, regulate the micro\u00adcli\u00admate and help to maintain a healthy forest floor.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
