Currently analyzing QSM models of declining beech trees in northern Bavaria. Despite more favorable conditions in recent years, many continue to deteriorate due to the long-term impacts of severe drought stress. Fascinating to see how the structure reveals their struggle.

The next phase of mushroom season has officially begun here in Bavaria 🍄

We've launched our first large dendrometer monitoring sites as part of WestWARD! 🌲Excited to gain deeper insights into forest dynamics under climate stress - with 80+ dendrometers per site continuously tracking tree growth and water use. Learn more: www.lss.ls.tum.de/tgw/projects...
