Sievershausen
Forest-dominated catchment area in the Hochsolling region
The sub-area Sievershausen covers about 90 km2 and lies in the catchment area of the river Obere Ilme. In the northeast, the boundary of the sub-area corresponds to the borderline of the sampling area and the Nature Park.
Study areas of the Forest Ecosystem Research Centre (FZW) at the University of Göttingen and of the Northwest German Forest Research Institute (NW-FVA) are also located within the catchment area.
The sub-area is mainly used for forestry and agriculture and for gentle tourism.
