Climate change and tree mix for the future City Green 2025
Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-SH-2015-PGPD01
Contract period: 01.01.2015
- 31.12.2017
Budget: 141,700 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: plant production and horticulture, product/service, climate change
Many of today's main tree species are struggling due to climate change with more and more problems. Where trees before thoroughly could reach an age of 80 years and older in cities, it will become more difficult to preserve trees for several decades. To identify climate change-tolerant, sustainable trees for Northern Germany, tree species and varieties are to be found which prevail in climate regions which match the climate forecast for our region. For this purpose, there have already been targeted sightings at four sites in Germany for some years, but so far only in horticultural sites under optimal crop conditions. Within the project, new tree species that have been found to be promising in the trial facilities, will be tested for practicality in real urban locations. The project will provide representative results for the whole of northern Germany and, in cooperation with a Bavarian project Stadtgrün 2021, provide reliable results for the whole of Germany and neighbouring countries.
