Research Interests<\/h2>\n
\n

I am interested in how trees respond to environmental stress and how these responses shape the functioning and resilience of forest ecosystems under global change.<\/p>\n

My research focuses on forest responses to drought, the potential of tree diversity to buffer drought impacts, and species-specific hydro-functional strategies of trees. In my current project, I investigate how trees regulate stomatal conductance under atmospheric drought in the research arboretum ARBOfun (Gro\u00dfp\u00f6sna). With this, I seek to further develop my expertise in ecophysiology to better understand and predict forest responses to increasing drought stress.<\/p>\n

I am part of the International Research Training Group TreeD\u00ec<\/a> \u2013 \u6797\u5730 on Tree Diversity Interactions at the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
