The forest in climate change

Causes

Forest extinction can be caused by a variety of factors, including air pollution, acid rain, climate change, insect infestation, diseases and human activities such as deforestation and land-use changes.

Climate change

In particular, the changed temperatures and precipitation patterns can affect the growth of trees making them more susceptible to diseases and pest infestation. Estimates suggest that four out of five trees are now sick and suffering from chronic climate stress.

Countermeasures

In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the promotion of resilient tree species and the increased reforestation and protection of forests is becoming increasingly important.

The advantages at a glance

TITAN-LARCH

Relief is provided by vegetative propagation in the laboratory. With the so-called "somatic embryogenesis," we, together with our partners, have developed a hybrid larch over more than 20 years of research that sets new standards in both quality and propagation.

Ideal for reforestation of disaster areas, counteracts bush encroachment caused by rampant blackberries.

Pioneer tree: good root penetration opens up soil for more demanding tree species.

Good shaft shape, straight and even logs, ideal for sawmills.

Sought-after, heavy and hard wood, ideal for durable constructions and furniture (permanent CO2 storage).

Suitable for altitudes of 100 to 700 meters above sea level with dry and stony soils.

Forms strong and well-branched heart roots, less sensitive to drought.

High storm resistance and less susceptible to snow breakage.

Robust against pests and wounds due to strong resinification.

Dependency on seed in various qualities is reduced.

Supplied with root ball for faster growth in forest.

Significantly superior growth allows for quicker timber harvesting.

Our titanium larch against import dependency.

Somatic embyogenesis

"We have something to gain if we take decisive action to protect the forests. We must make the forests strong and stable so that they can protect us. Our forests are our most important allies in tackling the climate crisis."
