The spruce becomes the "bread tree of the frankenwald" called. However, the shallow-rooted trees are also susceptible to storms and bark kafer. How the frankenwald is currently doing and whether the bark beetle can be dangerous to it, we talked to the head of the nordhalben forestry operations fritz maier:

mr. Meier, how are the french forests doing at the moment??
The french forests are not doing well at the moment. The months of drought combined with the high temperatures have led to the following developments:
a) insufficient water supply to the trees leads to reduced growth, drought damage and reduced resistance to insects (such as the bark beetle), especially in shallow rooted tree species (such as spruce).
B) young trees planted in the forest in spring have partly dried out completely, because they could not suck enough water from the soil with their still small roots.
C) intensive development of insects (such as bark beetles on conifers or oak processionary moths on deciduous trees) leads to damage to individual trees and entire forest stands and, for example in the case of oak processionary moths, locally also to impairments for humans.
D) tree seeds like beechnuts develop less well in many places, they stay smaller and are less vital (for example beechnuts).
E) high risk of forest fire due to dried out forest floor with dry needles and already partly falling leaves.

Place for cultural goods

22 artists from all over upper franconia deal in series of works of different techniques with the value of art for society and with becoming and passing away. How much permanently preserved cultural heritage can the earth accommodate?? If each of the ca. 106 billion people who have ever lived on earth left eight cultural assets, one human legacy came to ten square meters of human-used land.
How do we deal with what we have inherited and how does what we have created relate to that?? This level of reflection is present in many artistic processes, even if some works seem to be concerned only with formal questions.
Goda plaum seam abstract color flat paintings made from old packaging material and plastic tutes. Harald burger stages equipment, tools and materials left behind by several generations from an old farm on a rough tableau on the floor of the exhibition space. What remains in christine gruber's paintings is the last, uppermost layer of paint, which partially covers all the underlying layers, but which builds on them and could not have been created without their predecessors.

U.S. Inspector larry thompson has certified that VW has learned from the diesel scandal – but that the company must not slacken in implementing stricter regulations.

In 2019, munsterschwarzach abbey has significantly improved its energy balance compared to the previous year. The eco project, which has been running since 2000, has never generated as much regenerative energy as it did last year. With a total of 3,858,388 kwh of generated electrical energy and 5550 mwh of thermal energy, not only the needs of the monastery and its operations can be met, according to a press release. In fact, much more renewable energy was generated than was consumed.

The monastery printing house "benedict press" was awarded the "EMAS" environmental certificate and took a further step towards a "green print shop" by purchasing a chemical-free platesetter. The monastery bakery introduced a deposit system with reusable coffee cups and also joined the groundwater protection program of the french governments. The monastery’s own four towers publishing house now does without plastic foil for all hardcovers.
