We are pleased to share that our PhD student Julia Rieder has successfully submitted her doctoral thesis!
Her dissertation, entitled “Abiotic and biotic drivers of drought responses in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) inferred from field and LiDAR data”, investigates how environmental conditions and biological factors influence drought stress responses in European beech. By combining detailed field measurements with LiDAR-based analyses, her work provides valuable insights into tree-level and stand-level responses to drought.
German title:
Abiotische und biotische Einflussfaktoren auf Trockenstressreaktionen der Rotbuche (Fagus sylvatica L.) abgeleitet aus Feld- und LiDAR-Daten
Julia’s research contributes to a better understanding of forest responses to increasing drought frequency and highlights the potential of integrating remote sensing data with field observations in forest ecology.
We congratulate Julia on reaching this important milestone and wish her all the best for the upcoming defense.
