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 ...

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 ...

What do ontogenetic changes in wood density tell us about species’ functional strategy?
MSc thesis / MSc internship A tree experiences strongly changing pressures during its lifetime. For example, protection from herbivores and other physical damage may be more important in early life stages, whereas support is i ...

Nutrient balances in tropical trees
MSc thesis / MSc internship Trees compete for the acquisition of nutrients. Nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus are crucial for plant growth and survival. Species can have different strategies to deal with (limiting) nut ...

Tree morphology changes by fertilization and herbivory
Research goal Rock dust, a ground rock that acts as a slow-release fertilizer, has become immensely popular in forest management. In ecosystems degraded by enhanced nitrogen deposition, soil health is expected to increase with th ...

Species database for complex agroforestry systems (& food forests) in Northwest Europe
Also possible as MSc internship Complex agroforestry systems or food forests harbour large numbers of species. But what species are useful for what purposes, and under what environmental conditions? And what management may inc ...

Forest recovery in Australia
This MSc thesis focusses on the factors influencing early succession of abandoned pastural lands in Australia. Fieldwork is planned from mid-October to mid-December and includes vegetation measurements, analyzing soil samples  ...

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 ...
