Key drives on tropical forest succession
Tropical forests are among the most indispensable ecosystems on Earth. However, mature tropical forests have been lost at the alarming rate, and thus... -
From understanding to actions using a hydrological model and role-playing games
My PhD project is expected to better understand the forest-people-water nexus to promote collaboration among stakeholders for achieving hydrological... -
Broadleaf temperate trees growth pattern response to increasing the frequency of freeze-thaw cycles
The future of temperate forests is highly uncertain because we do not know how different species will respond to ongoing climate change. One of the... -
Fertilization impacts on interactions between ungulates and trees
Anthropogenic nitrogen deposition leads to eutrophication and soil acidification globally, which may change vegetation composition and cause... -
Biodiversity and recovery of tropical forests across the globe
The aim of PANTROP is to understand the mechanisms underlying tropical forests’ resilience to human disturbance, hereby looking at the effects... -
Understanding restored forests for benefiting people and nature in the Atlantic Forest
Large-scale forest and landscape restoration in the Atlantic Forest region of Brazil needs novel upscaling from thousands to millions of hectares. The... -

Drought resilience of tropical forests
In the Tropics, droughts will increase in intensity and frequency in the future. Nevertheless, how tropical forests will respond to such disturbances... -
European Forests & Climate Change – Long-term impacts and wood supply
This project systematically investigates the long term impacts of climate change and forest management on European forests resources. The research is... -
Secondary succession in tropical dry forests
Pioneer Mimosa species dominate the early secondary succession in the tropical dry forest in Mexico.
The effects that these pioneers can have to the...
