Alien trees - Germany should actively introduce tree species from warmer and drier climates to strengthen its forests against rising temperatures, drought, and pests. This is according to a report from the Scientific Advisory Board for Forest Policy (WBW) presented to Germany's agriculture and forestry ministry, and comes as native species face sustained pressure. The advisory body identified around 10 to 15 candidate species, including Oriental beech, Turkey oak, and Atlas cedar, but stressed the approach must be carefully managed as importing seeds risks introducing disease and pests, and specialist native species also tend to fare worse in forests dominated by introduced trees. The board recommends a stepwise approach of introducing other species, as part of a broader response. Germany's forests only recently returned to being a net carbon sink in 2025 after years of droughts, storms, and bark beetle damage turned them into net CO2 emitters, according to the Federal Environment Agency (UBA).
