Projects
Research projects at WSL, the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research.
AccliMemo
How do trees adjust to warmer droughts on different time scales, and where are the limits? Investigating short- and long-term acclimation mechanisms, transgenerational epigenetic effects, and tipping points leading to tree decline.
Emerald Ash Borer Early Detection
Exploring reflectance spectroscopy for the previsual detection of emerald ash borer infestation in ash trees, and distinguishing beetle-induced stress from drought stress through leaf biochemical signatures.
BENCHMARKS
Computing reference values for forest regeneration in Swiss mountain forests, based on long-term national and cantonal studies, to support silvicultural planning.
