WEITERFÜHRENDE INFORMATIONEN

Projekte

Partitioning of resources between beech trees during drought

We will examine whether recent drought events shifted the partitioning of growth among tree size classes of beech trees and use this information to develop thinning strategies for mitigating drought impacts in lowland and montane Swiss beech forests

Modelling forest growth using 3-PG

Testing 3-PG in uneven-aged forests, comparing predictions with an empirical model and developing a 3-PG R package.

Sumforest - ForRISK

Risk resilient forest management - Adapting forest management regimes, including risk assessment related to potential climate change impacts.

Group planting

After large-scale storm damage, the density of seedlings from natural regeneration is sometimes insufficient. In such cases, planting is justified. The cost-effective establishment of such plantations, and in particular the planting in small groups, is the focus of this project.
