Stand Dynamics and Silviculture ¶
Head: Dr. Martina Hobi
Contents ¶
We study stand dynamics and how they can be influenced by man. We thereby focus
on the following topics:
- Growth and yield research, with a focus on continous-cover and plenter forests
- Forest dynamics in forest reserves
- Primary forest research in Ukraine
- Adaptation of forest trees to climate change
- Regeneration dynamics and young forest tending
- Forest-ungulate interactions and browsing
We maintain and manage a net of long-term permanent plots and use the data in simulation models of forest dynamics. Our research contributes to an ecologically, economically and socially sustainable forest management.
