At SilviLaser 2025 in Québec City, PhD candidate Julia Rieder (EORC, University of Würzburg and staff member of EO4CAM) presented her work on “European Beech under Drought: Effects of Topography, Competition and Soil Water Availability.” Her study uses LiDAR to reveal how local conditions shape drought resilience in European beech forests, providing key insights for climate adaptation and forest management.
SilviLaser is the leading international conference on LiDAR applications for forest science, bringing together researchers and practitioners from around the world.
