Project: Impact of neighbourhood diversity on the growth of oak and pine

2014-10-01 – 2017-09-30

Abstract

We will study the relation between a tree’s local neighbourhood diversity, its crown shape (tLiDAR), diameter growth and response to drought stress (X-ray tomography) in permanent monitoring plots in unmanaged forest reserves: complex stands with large age and size differences between trees that thus offer a broad range of tree diversity levels within a single site.
