Renewable raw materials and local resources for a biobased, sustainable and strong economy in Brandenburg – Neuwerg promotes cultivation & processing and raises innovative potential through communicative networking and the practical establishment of value chains.

Forest sowing is considered to be particularly close to nature and easy to implement for all forest owners. The ecological advantages of a seed should be linked to new technological possibilities – what counts is the most economical and efficient use of the valuable seeds.

How is it possible to retain water in the landscape in such a way that agriculture benefits from a better water supply for crops? And how can the availability of water in a catchment area in the south of Brandenburg be improved, even under the conditions of climate change?

The trafficability of the skid trail system is being investigated with innovative low-pressure tires. Under typical southern Brandenburg forest conditions, it will be evaluated how the tested tires affect the soil surface and the stability of the soil in comparison to standard tires.

For estimated data on forest growth, simulators require regular checking of their plausibility, reliability and prediction accuracy. For this purpose, updated growth trend analyzes are carried out for the main commercial tree species pine, oak and birch.

Project activities focus on specific Chinese and German coal mining regions and best practice examples in rehabilitation and reclamation of mining sites. The aim is building a stakeholder network of both sides as a bridge for know-how exchange by workshops resulting in best practice guidelines.

We are actively countering the decline of wild bees in Lusatia with the “Bienenburgen” citizen science project: a rescue network for wild bees is to be created.

Single-tree-based functions for determining biomass, compartment-related volume and nutrient content of young red oak and common birch at the North Saxon lowlands are developed using parameters that are easy to measure.

Renewable resources and domestic resources for a bio-based, sustainable and strong economy in Brandenburg – all of this is part of bioeconomy. Turning ideas into products through communicative networking and practical establishment of value chains, that is the task and goal of the center.

PlanBirch-plus-C is a citizen science forum on Birch and climate change. This tree is known in terms of forest renewering and business. The project deals with knowledge gaps, offers a dialog with woodland actors and sensitized the public.
