It participates in international projects related to vegetational biodiversity and study of native plants. Patterns of vegetational change are commonly used to infer future scenarios. Rainfall decreases markedly westwards and sharp vegetational gradients exist. They inhabit a wide altitudinal, climatic and vegetational spectrum of subterrestrial habitats. It shows that the vegetational reconstruction from peat beds at a.m.s.l. Vegetational belts and mammalian communities underwent major reorganisation. Pairing records of past biota with climate data allows paleoecologists to reconstruct past vegetational landscapes. Animals also exhibit zonation patterns in concert with the vegetational zones described above. Combined together, these all give rise to a huge vegetational biodiversity. In northern Germany (Ostholstein) the vegetational evolution was very similar. In Scandinavia, the Atlantic/Subboreal boundary shows a distinct vegetational change. The vegetational succession following the coppice is being carefully monitored by means of permanent quadrats.
