Welcome to the Webpage of the Chair of Forest Growth and Dendroecology

We investigate growth processes and basic principles for sustainable production of renewable ressources in various land use systems.

We develop methods for the quantitative assessment, analysis and prediction of tree growth.

Topics of research and teaching are closely related. Besides qualification in these research areas we provide cross sectoral competences.
