Research interests
My main research interest is looking beyond the tree rings, linking dendrochronology with ecophysiology to achieve a deeper knowledge of cambial activity. How does a tree grow? Only answering this intriguing question will be possible to develop new tools to assess tree health. I love browsing in these fields:
- dendroecology, stand dynamics, disturbances, extreme climatic events, forest history, wood anatomy, palaeoclimate, proxy-data (charcoals), the use of stable isotopes in ecology
- In particular, during the past five years I have been involved in reconstructing the stand history (anthropogenic and climatic influences) of the Swiss Long Term Forest Ecosystem Research, on German the Langfristige Waldökosystem-Forschung (LWF) plots
Future perspectives

Paolo?
here is Paolo right now?
Paolo is either working hard in his office in Birmensdorf, Switzerland....
....cooking Italian
pastasciutta for
friends during the cold foggy evenings in Zurich........
........or enjoying solar family life during the weekends in Pisa, Italy...
...... or most likely .....
...in the train between Zurich and Pisa, working on papers and listening to his favourite music!
