A visibly old #hybridplane #Platanus × #hispanica in #park around lake #Lietzensee in #Berlin. The tree, as a hybrid of non-native #species, harbors a #lower #biodiversity than, for example, an similar old oak tree. However, the adjacent #shorevegetation provides evidence of a #bank #biodiversity. That wasn't always the case, as the shore of the #IceAge #lake was created as a decorative park in the 19th century and is still under #historicpreservation today.
