How do liana functional traits shape liana niches?
Lianas are important component of forest ecosystems, compete with trees, and have a large negative impact on tree diversity and performance, and carbon storage sequestration of the forest. However, little is known about how liana ...

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 ...

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, ...

Does shade tolerance explain the distribution of wet and dry tropical tree species?
MSc thesis / MSc internship / BSc thesis / BSc internship Species distribution is determined by environmental filters that can determine what species can occur where. Shade and drought are thought to be the two most important e ...

Effects of climatic variability on tropical tree populations. How to scale up from tree growth to population viability?
MSc thesis Tree-ring analyses of tropical tree species have shown that years with low rainfall and high temperatures reduce stem growth and may also increase mortality. Climate change will likely increase the frequency and sev ...
