My research projectcenters on developing and utilizing the climate-sensitive forest succession (“gap”) model ForClim to assess the impacts of droughts on forest dynamics (growth, regeneration and mortality) in temperate forests, with a particular emphasis on the stand scale. I am dedicated to analyzing the processes, signals and tipping points that ultimately lead to extreme impacts on forest structure and dynamics.
