Research Group
Dendroecology and Tree Physiology

We focus on the impact of past and present climate conditions on tree and shrub growth at boundaries of their existence in the Alps, i.e., at the alpine treeline and within dry inner alpine environments. We analyze radial growth increments (tree rings) at the inter-annual and intra-annual scale together with physiological parameters to better understand the ecological relationships between growth, climate and site conditions.
