In this part of the Botanical Garden, the immigration of the native woody plants of southern Germany during the post-glacial period is shown. The changing climatic conditions between ice ages and warm periods caused a very diverse change in flora and fauna.

On the northern slope the development of the vegetation of the mountain forest region is shown. Along the stream you can see the flora of the river landscapes, and on the southern slopes the warmer lowlands and the hills. The glacial vegetation surrounds the two ponds in the eastern part of the garden.

In the last 2.5 million years, the Earth's climate has regularly changed between ice ages and pronounced warm periods of today's character, the interglacials. The average length of the ice ages was about 80,000 to 100,000 years, that of the interglacials about 10,000 to 15,000 years. The current warm period lasted about 11,600 years. It is coming to an end, as is known from many observations.

Humans have increasingly influenced the environment during the last 7,000 to 9,000 years. The consequences for vegetation in southern Germany are shown in this appendix on the basis of selected examples.
