Modeling of the functioning of oak and Douglas fir stands as a function of objective density

  • Location

The host laboratory is UMR ESE (https://www.ese.universite-paris-saclay.fr/).

  • Mission

In this work, we want to answer the question: Will low-density forest management allow better resilience to water stress in oak and Douglas-fir stands in the context of climate change compared to currently management?

Technical challenge underlies this problem resolution: Is it possible to work on low-density forest stands with an eco-physiological stand model, such as CASTANEA? Under which conditions?

  • Skills

-Master or PhD degree in plant ecology/ecophysiology and background in environmental physics;
-Demonstrated publication skills ;
-Working knowledge in programming and in one computer language at least;
-Strong interest in the modelling of complex systems;
-Working knowledge of the English language;
