Open topics for B.Sc. and M.Sc. student projects at the Institute of Forest Ecology, Department of Forest and Soil Sciences, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), Vienna, Austria are published at https://abschlussarbeiten.boku.ac.at/thesis
Please contact me for a description in German/English and about additional topics beside those published.
If you are interested in graduate studies with me at BOKU, I recommend that you first visit the website of the graduate program that interests you, paying particular attention to the admission requirements. Then I suggest that you check out my current research interests projects at the bOKU webpage and some of my recent publications. If you feel that we have compatible interests, feel free to contact me by email.
When you contact me, please let me know something about your background, your research interests, and your research experiences. Please include a copy of your CV. You might also find it useful to contact some of the graduate students whom I currently advise, or who have recently completed their degrees.
We aim to propose topics which might lead to publications. For example, the following articles have been published from Bachelor theses in the years 2014/2015:
- Rewald, B., Rechenmacher, A. & Godbold, D.L. (2014) It’s complicated – Variability of root respiration and morphological traits in four deciduous tree species. Plant Physiology.
- Vigl, F. & Rewald, B. (2014) Size matters? - The diverging influence of cutting length on growth and allometry of two Salicaceae clones. Biomass & Bioenergy.
- Rewald, B., Holzer, L. & Göransson, H. (2015) Arbuscular mycorrhiza inoculum reduces root respiration and improves biomass accumulation of salt-stressed Ulmus glabra seedlings. Urban Forestry & Urban Greening.
- Gaupp-Berghausen, M., Hofer, M., Rewald, B. & Zaller, H. (2015) Glyphosate-based herbicides reduce the activity and reproduction of earthworms and lead to increased soil nutrient concentrations. Scientific Reports.
