Tropical Silviculture and Forest Ecology

Institution

Description

Non-sustainable use of tropical forests and forest conversion severely endanger the development of tropical countries. Land-use change is also one of the driving forces of global change. Thus, the main objective of our institute is to study and develop sustainable management systems for different forest and tree based land-use systems. Based on modern concepts of tree and forest ecology, management of land-use systems have to be in accordance with the variety of economic and other goals.
