Managing the Black Forest as a resilient system 45 References 48 List of Figures 66 List of Tables 72 VIII Summary Background Climate change is affecting forest growth and vitality globally, driving shifts in tree species distributions, which could result in major changes of important ecosystem services. One of the main forest functions in the region of the Black Forest is timber production. A large proportion of that timber is obtained from Norway spruce (Picea abies) monocultures. However, it has been shown that spruce is highly drought-sensitive. Its growth potential under future climatic conditions, which are characterized by an increasing frequency and intensity of summer droughts, has been questioned. In the long term, it will be inevitable to replace large proportions of current spruce forests with other tree species. Here I assessed the suitability of two potential substitute species, which are economically interesting and presumably more drought-tolerant, than spruce: Silver fir (Abies alba) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Since mixed-species forests are assumed to increase ecological stability of forests in relation to stress and disturbances and thus to reduce future risks, the drought-tolerance of these three conifer species was assessed in mixed stands. Aim The aim of this thesis was to provide an assessment of the growth potential these three species under future climatic conditions in the Black Forest. A direct comparison of their drought responses and an understanding of their interactions in mixed-species stands is still lacking. The responses to past extreme drought events were measured along altitudinal gradients through a dendrochronological analysis. Climate correlation analyses were used to quantify the potential effect of shifts in seasonality of precipitation and temperature on radial growth of these species for the past 60 years and under future climate scenarios. I also quantified the net effects of mixing these three species on radial growth in “normal” and in drought years. Research questions 1) Are Silver Fir and Douglas-fir more resistant and resilient to extreme drought events than Norway spruce across altitudinal gradients in the Black Forest? 2) How will these tree species react to future shifts in seasonality of precipitation and temperatures connected to climate change? 3) Does the mixing of the tree species influence their growth and resistance and resilience to drought? IX Study site and sampling design A total of 270 trees per species were sampled in 18 managed and mature mixed-species stands at the western slopes of the southern, central and northern Black Forest in southwest Germany.

  • Offenbach, 30 January 2015 – Frequent Weather Systems Coming in from the West Brought Varied Weather to Germany in January 2015
    The weather in Germany in January 2015 Year of record temperatures in 2014 followed by a much too warm January 2015 Offenbach, 30 January 2015 – Frequent weather systems coming in from the west brought varied weather to Germany in January 2015. Everything was included, from spring-like warmth with record temperatures and severe storms to brief wintry interludes. Overall, the month was very mild with high precipitation and little sunshine. This is what the initial analysis by the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) of data from its around 2,000 weather stations shows. Periods of spring-like warmth with record temperatures Following on from the year of 2014, which was the warmest since records began, January 2015, too, saw a positive temperature anomaly. At 2.1 degrees Celsius (°C), the average temperature was 2.6 degrees higher than the international reference value for 1961 to 1990 of -0.5°C. Compared to the warmer period 1981 to 2010, the deviation was +1.7°C. The influence of high pressure prevailed at the start of the month, but brought weather with little cloud cover only to the south. This caused the temperature over the snow cover existing there to fall and give hard frosts. Leutkirch-Herlazhofen in the Württemberg part of the Allgäu recorded the lowest temperature in January with -15.2°C in the night to 1 January. After that, lively westerly winds, which generally brought very mild air masses, prevailed under the influence of low pressure during the first twenty days of the month. On 10 January, the storm depression ‘Felix’ brought spring-like warmth to Germany.

  • Trekking in Germany's Black Forest May 22-30 2022 Trip #2247
    Trekking in Germany’s Black Forest May 22-30 2022 Trip #2247 Simonswald Waterfall by Claudio Testa Trip Overview To some, the term ‘Black Forest’ conjures up images of cuckoo clocks, the home of fairytales’ Hansel and Gretel, or a frosted multi-layer chocolate cake with a cherry on top. In reality the Black Forest is a region of Germany located in its southwestern corner. This beautiful area contains dense woods, rolling foothills, running streams, gorges, ruined castles, waterfalls, panoramic views, open meadows filled with flowers, ancient villages, and quaint old timber-framed buildings. Our trek through the Black Forest, the Zweitälersteig [henceforth ZTS], was rated in 2019 as Germany’s best multi-day tour. The name, which 1 translates literally to the “ two valley climb”, will expose us to all the attributes of the Black Forest….. including the cuckoo clock and the chocolate cake. Below is a map of Germany indicating the area of the Black Forest where we will hike: Below is a detailed overview of our route: 2 Excellent sources for additional information are the ZTS official website [original in German, but online translatable to English] and the guide book “Hiking and Cycling in the Black Forest” by Kat Morgenstern Trip highlights: ● Strenuous six day hike covering 106km of exceptional scenery. ● Comfortable three star family-run hotels, two persons/room ● Luggage transferred between hotels ● All breakfasts, most lunches, and all dinners included ● Guided tour of Freiburg, an ancient university town with a medieval city center ● Excursion to Triberg, a historic town located adjacent to Germany’s largest waterfall.

SieBer (2014): Occurrence and distribution of water frogs in the district of Lörrach. – Na- turschutz südl. Oberrhein 7: 160-166. in central europe three different water frogs can be found. These are the Marsh frog (Pelophylax ridibundus), Pool frog (Pelophylax lessonae) and edible frog (Pelophylax esculentus). The latter is not a proper species but a hybrid of the Marsh frog and Pool frog. all three water frogs are difficult to distinguish from each other. for an exact species determination it is necessary to catch the frogs and record morphometric data. This is one reason why very little data regarding occurrence and distribution of these frogs is available for most regions. The aim of the present study was to investigate the occurrence and distribution of water frogs in the district of Lörrach. Water bodies which are potentially used for reproduction were checked for the presence of water frogs and the species was determined by catching and measurement of 135 individuals from 22 different locations. 45% of all frogs were Marsh frogs, 26% edible frogs. The remaining frogs showed characteristics of Marsh- and edible frogs and could not be clearly allocated to one of these two forms.
