>>1290902Well, as a woodie myself, I need to state something: Without any forestation, all of germany would be full of beeches - except regions like the Alps or mountainious regions, where spruces, maples,firs, ashes (okay, not anymore) and pines are better adapted, ore more arid and/or acid areas, where oaks come into play - but most of germany (and well, most of europe) is pretty standard stuff, concering climate and soil. So, no we dont have any beeches here, because of firewood, but because
mother nature decided, that Germany should be the country of beeches. Also, concerning climate change, spruces would fade out anyways. Another point, why spruces are decreasing
