About

In cooperation with other research groups of ESS we conduct research at the interface between dendro-chronology (science of tree-rings) and forest ecology. The focus of the lab is on dendrochronology, dendroecology, forest ecology, forest history, and past climate variablility. Many tree ring studies link to biodiversity and conservation.

The Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre (Institutionen för Sydsvensk skogsvetenskap, ESS) established in Alnarp in 1989 and the dendro laboratory was set up in 1997.

Main geographical focus is on southern Scandinavia and central-eastern Europe, including both the temperate and boreal ecosystems. Strong ties of ESS with SLU campus in Umeå (Northern Sweden), gives the lab partly a boreal profile especially in the field of reconstruction of forest fire histories. In the last years the geographical scope of the lab has expanded towards central Europe, and further to the eastern parts of Eurasian boreal forests.
