Biography |
| In 2021, Dominik Ambs joined the Chair of Forest Growth and Yield Science as a PhD Student. He is working since then in the Audi Nelder Project and investigates effects of density and climate on tree growth and tree allometry. A better understanding of the physiological responses of trees is in the centre of the Talking Trees project, which is also part of his work. In a previous life, he studied political science with a focus on environmental and forest politics. |
