This is because trees absorb carbon during photo\u00adsyn\u00adthesis and store it in their substance in the form of organic compounds. Overall, forests thus remove considerable amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere. For this to remain so, we must convert our forests into climate-resilient mixed deciduous forests.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Conife\u00adrous forest in climate change<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Due to climate change \u2013 lack of rainfall\/higher tempe\u00adra\u00adtures \u2013 dramatic dieback processes are currently being seen in this country across more than 900,000 hectares of forest \u2014 predo\u00admi\u00adnantly spruce \u2014, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dlr.de\/de\/aktuelles\/nachrichten\/2025\/satellitendaten-fuer-deutsche-waelder-in-not\">with a rising trend<\/a>. This forest loss and reduced biomass growth lead to a sustained decrease in CO2 offset. The results of the fourth <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmel.de\/DE\/themen\/wald\/wald-in-deutschland\/bundeswaldinventur.html\">Federal Forest Inven\u00adtory<\/a> (p. 45) show that, as a result of climate-related forest dieback and the associated loss of living biomass, forests have become a source of carbon since 2017. In doing so, they lose a liveli\u00adhood of immense importance for our society \u2013 their ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere and slow climate change.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Planting deciduous trees together for the climate<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cPreser\u00adving forests and all their ecosystem services and adapting them to the changes in climate change is the most important chall\u00adenge for politi\u00adcians, forest owners and society.

This often requires active adapt\u00ada\u00adtion of forests to climate change by trans\u00adforming at-risk forests into climate-resilient mixed forests, with predo\u00admi\u00adnantly native tree species and proven\u00adances suited to the site and capable of withstan\u00adding the projected climate changes.\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmleh.de\/SharedDocs\/Downloads\/DE\/Broschueren\/vierte-bundeswaldinventur.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&amp;v=18\">Federal Forest Inven\u00adtory<\/a> 2022, p. 47<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Drinking water forest plantings<\/h3>\n<p>Planting deciduous trees in conifer monocul\u00adtures increases resili\u00adence against droughts and storms.
