Section overview
Description
LFE – Eberswalde Forestry Research Institute of the State of Brandenburg: More than 37 % of the State of Brandenburg are covered with forests. Modern forestry has to meet ecological and economical requirements. For sustainable management of forests, solid scientific knowledges are necessary. Forestry education and research is based in Eberswalde for more than 175 years. On behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture an Environmental Protection LFE consists of working groups in the departments Data-Management and Documentation, Forest-Development and Economical Planning. The institute offers scientific and technical services in general for public forest agencies.

Coordinated projects
- Adaptation strategies of forest hygiene facing an increasing potential of pathogens in vulnerable regions with regard to climate change and the growing number of restrictions. Subproject 4
- Altered productivity and carbon sequestration of German forests in the face of climate change: (i) model development with data sets of soil inventory (BZE) and European Level I monitoring plots and (ii) model applications on an expanded dataset of the National Forest Inventory (BWI) - WP-KS-KW.
