Project
RESONATE - Resilient forest value chains – enhancing resilience through natural and socio-economic responses
Climate change poses a major challenge for European forests, demonstrated by recent extreme events and forest disturbances of unprecedented intensity. RESONATE is aiming to enhance the resilience of the forests and the value chain in the forestry sector in order to mitigate the risks from disturbances and stressors.
My task within the project is to analyse silvicultural options to enhance the natural response to disturbance and stress situation of European forests. I will look at thinning and diversity experiments to investigate the potential to mitigate drought-induced mortality. Additionally, I will compare the resilience of managed and unmanaged forests to analyse the extent of mortality.
