Rainy day fieldwork just got significantly cuter (and tastier sounding!) 🐭! Micaela is out battling the soggy conditions today and looks like she's already found a star: the Edible Dormouse (glis glis)!

Don't worry, we're just collecting data, not dinner🌧️

Our mini-conference "Complex models in a complex environment" was a huge success!
We had the pleasure of welcoming researchers who offered a statistical and modeling-driven perspective on forests.
A big thanks to all the speakers and attendees for a stimulating and insightful event! 🌳🌲📊

We've officially done the real-deal fieldwork after tree climbing course
@rschwutke.bsky.social and @kieuthuyquynh.bsky.social completed their very first tree climbing work after the training to collect leaves samples. It was a huge, upward-bound step for our research, and we're so ready for more!

Say hello to Dr. Sharath Paligi! 🎉

We're incredibly proud of your work on the hydraulic efficiency and drought response of Douglas-fir, Norway spruce, and European beech.
A truly fantastic piece of work! Huge congratulations, Sharath! 🌳🌲💧

What an insightful discussion at the Night of Science! 🌳🔬
Our panel, featuring our PIs and Forst erklärt, sparked a crucial conversation about forestry and climate change. It was fantastic to see such engaging dialogue on these vital topics.
Thanks to everyone who joined us!

New press release from Uni Göttingen!
Nice summary about how we used cameras up on the trees to check where red squirrels and dormice live, and if they like each other 🐿️🐀🌳

That's great news for mixed forests, @pmittelman.bsky.social !

Fakultät für Forstwissenschaften und Waldökologie @forstunigoe.bsky.social · Jun 30

🐿️🐭 Researchers have shown that mixed woodland boosts the coexistence of red squirrels and dormice. They found that red squirrels prefer coniferous forests and dormice prefer beech forests.

🌲🌳💧 Researchers have investigated the water uptake depth of spruce, copper beech and Douglas fir. Beech and Douglas fir had access to water from deeper soil layers, unlike spruce. Whether it is a pure or mixed stand also makes a difference.
