At the 53rd Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria and Switzerland in Freising, we presented our current research on the topics of forest and urban ecology.

Forest management undoubtedly has an effect on forest structure and biodiversity. Yet, the Black-and-White picture that often is drawn and concludes that uneven-aged single tree selection should be preferred over even-aged regular management, could not be confirmed by a recent study from Dr. Britta Uhl and her colleagues, which was published in August 2024 in “Biodiversity and Conservation”.

The fieldwork phase of the UrbanPart project started in May 2024. About 40 grassland sites have been sampled.
