Department of Forest Nutrition and Water Balance
Institution
Section overview
Description
The scientific field of the Department of Forest Nutrition and Water Balance is closely related to neighboring sciences, such as soil science, chemistry, botany (physiology, pathology), vegetation science, climatology and forestry. We want to identify causal relationships and provide answers for current questions regarding Forest Ecology issues.
