Map notes
The pixelated pattern distinguishes two types of forest: areas in which broad-leaved trees are the dominant species (dark shading) and areas dominated by coniferous trees (light shading). Although this division is not absolute, it provides useful information about the wood available in each area: broad-leaved species generally produce hardwoods, whereas coniferous species yield softwoods. Places visited during the education programme ‘On extraction and resilience’ around the city of Bühl are shown on the map as solid dots.
