Forest Growth Analysis and Dendrochronology Laboratory
The Forest Growth Analysis and Dendrochronology Laboratory is a specialized research center dedicated to studying forest ecosystems, analyzing tree growth, and assessing the age and development of trees. Using dendrochronology methods, the laboratory examines tree rings to understand historical forest growth patterns and their relationship with ecological and climate changes.
Key Research Areas:
- Measurement and analysis of annual tree growth rings
- Modeling forest ecosystem growth and development
- Assessing the impact of climate change on forest growth and biodiversity
- Monitoring soil and hydrological conditions affecting tree growth
- Developing evidence-based recommendations for sustainable forest management and conservation
The laboratory integrates both fieldwork and laboratory-based research methods, providing students and researchers with hands-on experience and practical skills. Additionally, it participates in international research projects, contributing to sustainable forest management and strategies for adaptation to climate change.
