Woody regeneration as a function of water supply and light availability in degraded and renaturalised "Riparian forests on the Middle Isar"

The doctoral project is embedded in a larger overall project entitled "Revitalised riparian forests - dynamics and resilience under the sign of multifunctionality" - (in German: A-DUR for short). The aim of the overall project is to better understand the riparian forest structure and its development. The aim is not only to make predictions about their future development, but also to develop a visitor concept so that the riparian forest can be made available to the public in a protected setting for recreational and, if necessary, information purposes. 

The doctoral project deals specifically with the four tree species Tilia cordata, Ulmus laevis, Quercus robur and Populus nigra. The work is divided into the following steps:

• A hydrological model of the groundwater level between Ismaning and Freising is being created in order to find out when the target tree species can reach groundwater access.
• Soil moisture and light availability are measured at 60 stratified, randomly selected inventory points (approx. 200 m² each) and the target tree species are mapped.
• The growth and development of young trees of the target species is analysed at the inventory points. Isotope analyses are carried out to record the average rooting depth. The trunk thickness diameters of old trees are analysed in high resolution. The data obtained will be used to draw conclusions about the future stand structure.
• In a greenhouse trial, the four target tree species are being tested for their drought stress resistance and behaviour in the event of a lack of light.
