Mein Baum - Die Baumpflanzaktion: Mein Baum

Blühende Bäume

The plentiful fruit trees displayed their beautiful flowers in the sunlight again this spring. Hopefully there will be enough bees to pollinate the flowers and also, it is hoped that the weather remains mild at this time so that the fruit can develop properly.

Unfortunately at this time there is often a cold snap or intense rain and fog.

With a bit of luck these gorgeous flowers will grow and mature over the summer until harvest time.

My wish: That we will be able to enjoy healthy and juicy fruit for a long time!

The Legacy of Deforestation

Our friend Gerald made us aware of a study entitled: „The Late Legacy of Deforestation“ which was published by the ORF and can be found at the following link: http://science.orf.at/stories/2788098. The study shows we have been suffering from the effects of deforestation for decades. More detailed information in this regard can be found by clicking the link above.

My own photos document the long-term growth process from small saplings to young trees. It takes several more decades however, for the young sapling to grow into a mature tree!

TIP: Before undertaking any deforestation, consider and review the necessity and usefulness of any tree felling exercises.

Erbe der Abholzung

Unser Freund Gerald hat mich auf die Studie „Das späte Erbe der Abholzung“, die im ORF unter http://science.orf.at/stories/2788098/ publiziert wird, aufmerksam gemacht. Sie zeigt, dass wir noch jahrelang unter den Belastungen der Rodungen leiden. Genaueres erfahren Sie durch einen Klick auf den vorangestellten Link.

Meine eigenen Fotos dokumentieren den langjährigen Wachstumsprozess vom kleinen Baumpflänzchen zu einem Jungbaum. Weitere Jahrzehnte dauert es aber, bis das Bäumchen zu einem ausgewachsenen stattlichen Baum heranwächst!

TIPP: Vor der Rodung die Notwendigkeit und Sinnhaftigkeit der Schlägerung überdenken!
