Trees in climate change: The Julius Kühn-Institute is expert partner 2020
The Julius Kühn-Institute (JKI) investigates the effects of climate change, globalisation, trade in goods and urbanisation on our livelihoods. From 21 to 23 April 2020, the JKI, which is an independent higher federal authority affiliated to the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL), will be a specialist partner of the German Tree Care Days in Augsburg. In various lectures and exhibitions, everything focuses on the tree in climate change, the consequences of drought, tree diseases and tree pests. The main focus is on the presentation of possible solutions in dealing with climate-related challenges. The detailed programme of the conference will be published here on the homepage in December.
The mailings for the exhibitors at the tradeshow are already scheduled for the end of October this year.
Trees - more important than ever
The more climate change progresses, the more important trees become. But our native trees are increasingly stressed by heat and drought, becoming easy targets for pests and diseases. According to the organisation “Bund Deutscher Forstleute”, more than 100 million old trees have already died in Germany's forests as a result of climate change. In the Harz Mountains, for example, the bark beetle has caused drastic damage to the weakened trees. But it is not only the well-known pests that cause us concern. As it gets warmer, more harmful organisms from more southern regions migrate to us and bring new pests and tree diseases.
Together with the Julius Kühn-Institute (JKI) we will take up this problem and present possible solutions for the practice. The preliminary discussions have already resulted in many suggestions for the coming tree care conference in Augsburg. I'm already looking forward to the next event from 21 to 23 April 2020.
