Der Waldbrand von Leuk als Chance für die Natur
Overzicht
Inleiding
August 13, 2003 left its mark on the history of the municipality of Leuk. Over 300 hectares of forest from 900 up to the tree line at 2100 meters above sea level, more than 200,000 trees burned to the ground.
Large forest fires are rather rare in Switzerland. The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL has conducted intensive research in the forest fire area over the past 20 years. It has documented how nature has gradually reclaimed the area. It was particularly interesting to see that many rare or very old plants, such as the "real strawberry spinach", have spread again. Insect species threatened with extinction, such as wild bees, were also found to be on the increase.
On this evening, you will receive first-hand information from Dr. Daniel Scherrer of the WSL. He will present the exciting research results of the last 20 years with a view to the future - which new forest will grow above Leuk?
