Tasks

Research associate in subproject 3 of the SiRT project: Improving the resilience of native tree species to climate change-induced stress by using sulfur-induced resistance/tolerance.

• Conducting application trials at forest sites to investigate the relationship between sulfur availability and the health status of beech trees
• Conducting pot experiments with different sulfur applications to determine the optimal sulfur supply for beech trees, in particular to investigate their susceptibility to fungal pathogens through targeted infection experiments
