Long-term Forest Ecosystem Research Programme LWF

Swiss forests are exposed to changing environmental conditions. The consequences of air pollution and climate change on the forest are important questions which the Long-term Forest Ecosystem Research Programme LWF seeks to answer. Within a legally set framework of the LWF programme, Switzerland partakes in international research programmes such as The International Co-operative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Air Pollution Effects on Forests ICP-Forests or the Long-Term Ecosystem Research LTER-Europe.

How strong is the influence of drought and other climatic factors on tree growth?

What impacts do nutrient deposits have on soil and plants?

How much does the influence of climate change alter the risk of ground-level ozone on forest ecosystems?
