Ce projet vise a restaurer une parcelle d'épicéas monospécifiques scolytés. En effet, à l'instar de l'agriculture, la monoculture appauvrit les sols, affaiblit la biodiversité et augmente la vulnérabilité des peuplements aux aléas causés en majeure partie par les changements climatiques. Ici, c'est un coléoptère, le scolyte qui a provoqué un dépérissement massif du peuplement en place. En effet les populations de ce coléoptères ont explosé ces dernières années avec des hivers trop doux qui n'ont pas joué leur rôle de régulation.
Trois espèces de résineux adaptés au contexte seront réintroduits et le hêtre, natif de la région et qui est particulièrement adapté aux sols et au climat sera également redéployé sur la périphérie de la parcelle. L'objectif de ce reboisement est d'augmenter le potentiel de résilience du massif forestier face aux changements climatiques à venir.

Preservation of local biodiversity by providing suitable habitats and resources.

Supports human well-being, by providing resources, income, education, and supporting recreation and heritage.

Contributes to the mitigation of the greenhouse effect and influences precipitation patterns and the local microclimate.

Influences the quality and integrity of the soil-water system, and the cycling of water and nutrients.

This project is rooted in south-west Germany, not far from the Belgian border, in the Eifel, a very hilly area where forests alternate with agricultural land. During the twentieth century, the region was heavily forested through the mass planting of spruce, a resinous species popular for the technological characteristics of its wood and its ability to grow quickly. Unfortunately, because spruce was planted as a monoculture, the bark beetle decimated most of the stands. This is an unprecedented disaster for German and European forests.

The aim of this project is to restore a monospecific plot of spruce affected by a devastating insect, the bark beetle. As in agriculture, monoculture impoverishes soils, weakens biodiversity and increases the vulnerability of stands to climatic and biotic hazards. In this case, it was a beetle, the bark beetle, that caused a massive decline in the existing stand. Beetle populations in the project area have risen sharply in recent years, mainly due to increasingly mild winters.

Three softwood species will be introduced as part of the project. However, it is particularly important to note the reintroduction of broadleaved trees such as beech, a species that occurs naturally in the region and is particularly well adapted to the local soil and climate. The aim of this reforestation is to increase the resilience potential of the forest and to allow the diversity of flora and fauna to return to the forest.
