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 ...

Tree ring analysis in the Netherlands: At which forest density do trees best withstand hot and dry conditions?
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 ...
