Summary
Such a protective strip must be about 100 to 300 meters wide because of the spark flight. Over the past 30 years, the risk of forest fires caused by climate change has increased according to the institute. Pine litter: “The fire just goes through” The pine, on the other hand, “is our most combustible tree species that we have here in Germany,” says Sanders. Pine litter, once you light it, it burns until there is nothing left.
Furthermore, Planting deciduous trees in a coniferous forest can significantly reduce fire intensity, says Tanja Sanders from the Thünen Institute for Forest Ecosystems in Eberswalde. But the risk of forest fires can be contained. "What all foresters and forest owners have been doing for years anyway, the forest conversion towards a mixture with more hardwood, is also something that works well against fire," says the forest ecologist. “Oaks are very suitable because they burn worse,” says Sanders. Because the foliage of oaks also rotted badly, there is also less undergrowth.
