This year, two projects from the Geoecology Working Group, DiP-SMART Agroforst and DiP-FaiReSyst, were represented at the Silbersalz Festival in Halle (Saale). Under the motto “Es funkt!”, our colleagues Mona Pawelke, Lena Büschel, Jonathan Renkel, and Jan Lukas Wenzel presented their research topics on structural change in the Central German mining region to a broad public, thereby raising awareness of the importance of trees and field margins for climate-resilient landscapes. We received active support from our colleagues at the DiP coordination office and from Prof. Reuter. We would like to thank the Silbersalz 2025 and science2public e.V. organizing teams for this opportunity and are already looking forward to the next Silbersalz in 2026.
