Plant Ecophysiology

In our research we address the effects of climate change on fundamental plant physiological processes. Herein a research focus lies on the resilience of trees and forests to extreme climate events.

We combine controlled experiments, field observations and ecosystem modelling to achieve an integrative physiological process understanding and project future forest dynamics.

We teach students in ecophysiological research and provide knowledge transfer into schools and society.
