Understanding fire resilience of Chiquitano dry forests in Bolivia
Also possible as MSc Internship Over the last years, the fires in the Amazon have reached global headlines. Although most media attention has focused on Brazil, the rate of deforestation and fire-affected areas have increased ...

UAV canopy sampling and leaf water potentials for Climate-Smart Forestry
Forest density reductions are suggested to protect our forests from future dry and hot conditions. However, effectiveness of density reductions remains incongruent and not adequately tested. This is primarily due to the lack of ex ...

The role of leaf venation in stomatal conductance responses to drought in lianas and trees in the canopy of two tropical forests
MSc thesis Lianas are increasing in many tropical forests with potential negative implications for forest biodiversity, productivity, carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation. We have measured large, adult individuals ...

Carbon Storage in Harvested Wood Products and Timber constructions in the Netherlands
MSc / BSc thesis (depending on size / depth of analysis) FEM is involved in quantifying carbon in harvested wood products for a range of conditions, based on country data on harvested wood, wood use, and HWP lifespan. Previously ...

Tree crown development in relation to stand density
MSc thesis (BSc thesis) Thinning interventions often aim at crown expansion of the future crop tree that is released with the treatment. QD Forest management is a novel management approach aiming to achieve ‘free growth’ of a t ...

Financial analysis of thinning intensity
MSc thesis (BSc thesis) Thinning interventions -among other goals- often aim to optimize financial performance of a stand. QD Forest management is a novel management approach aiming to achieve ‘free growth’ of a tree in order t ...

Effects of rooting by wild boar on soil organic carbon
BSc thesis / MSc thesis (depending on size / depth of analysis) Rooting activity by wild boar may lead to loss of soil organic matter and soil carbon, depending on rooting intensity and frequency. In the Netherlands, high wild ...

Seed rain: reproductive strategies during secondary succession in wet tropical forest
MSc thesis During secondary succession after land abandonment in the wet tropics the vegetation recovers rapidly. Local forest recovery is determined by many factors but availability of seeds is crucial. This is largely determi ...

Detecting effects of CO2 rise on the drivers of tropical tree growth
MSc thesis Atmospheric CO2 rise increases photosynthesis and decreases water loss of trees, but it may also increase leaf temperatures beyond optimum for photosynthesis. Generally, CO2 rise is thought to increase tree growth, ...

Reproductive strategies of tropical tree species
MSc thesis / MSc internship / BSc thesis / BSc internship Tropical forests harbor a tremendous diversity of trees, which are able to coexist because of differences in their life history strategies. Tree species are engaged in a ...
