At our ecophysiology hub at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Alnarp, south Sweden, we study the mechanistic responses of trees and ecosystems to climate change related stresses. We use this understanding to support informed decisions on species and provenance selection, species mixing, thinning and fertilization practices. We aim for holistic approaches that take into account the plant from root to leaf, as well as its interaction with its environment.
