Forest Ecology and Forest Management Group
We aim to understand the structure and functioning of forest ecosystems and their responses to changing environmental, biotic and social conditions, and to apply this knowledge for the development of sustainable forest resource use systems.

The data is helping researchers to analyse the interaction between tree growth and extreme weather conditions.
