Research interests
My research focusses on forest ecological issues with main emphasis on tree physiology under environmental changes. In particular, I am interested in ...
- tree water uptake and water use
- tree hydraulics and wood anatomy
- physiological adjustment to drought
- dendrochronology
- species interactions in mixture: competition and complementary resource use
- forest ecosystem functioning
