The Plant Ecophysiology course for Geoecology students from Karlsruhe took place at KIT-Campus Alpin 16-20 September 2024. The students investigated physiological and biochemical responses of temperate tree species under drought stress and subsequent post-drought recovery following rewatering. The students identified distinct species-specific drought tolerance strategies regarding photosynthesis regulation, and short-term physiological recovery following rewatering.
Processing and analyzing image stacks based on optical methods can be challenging, especially with large datasets. CaviTools offers additional tools to simplify the workflow of post-processing your Cavicam data such as automatically detecting and quantifying embolism events and filtering out artifacts.
The second IfGG-IFU Symposium took place at the KIT-Campus Alpine on 2nd and 3rd of May 2024 and it was dedicated to doctoral students and postdocs.
In addition to interesting lectures and engaging discussions, these joint symposia are valuable opportunities for networking and exchange.
The third edition of the symposium is to take place at the Aueninstitut Rastatt.
With the school forest project we support schoolkids to monitor the seasonality of tree growth by measuring stem increment via installed dendrobands. In this way, the children learn about scientific methods and get insights into the seasonal dynamics of forests.
During our group retreat, we planned research ideas for the coming year and defined our team values.
New publication out in Forestry showing canopy mortality increased tenfold during summer droughts 2018-2020 in Luxembourg
In addition to our research work, we also play excellent soccer and won this year's championship at the IMKIFU!
