Tree Growth
The importance of stand structure for drought tolerance and growth of European beech
The importance of stand structure for drought tolerance and growth of European beech
In subproject "Tree Growth", Christian Ammer and Christina Hackmann from the University of Göttingen will focus on ecophysiological properties, aiming to understand how beech forests with different horizontal and vertical structures respond to climatic extremes such as prolonged droughts. The team studies tree growth and water balance using in situ measurements, including sap flow sensors and high-resolution dendrometers, as well as retrospective 13C data from tree rings.
