Three interconnected research pillars drive our work — from field measurement to climate assessment to predictive modeling.
Using flux towers and advanced sensor networks, we quantify the exchange of water vapor and CO₂ between forests and the atmosphere — from individual leaves to entire canopies, and from hours to years. This multi-scale approach reveals how forests truly function.
From leaf to landscape, we study how trees and forests respond to environmental change. Our research spans primary and secondary tropical forests and urban areas, examining responses to climate variability across species and scales — generating insights that inform forest management, conservation, and restoration policy.
We develop and refine process-based models to predict how forests will respond to climate change — equipping managers and conservationists with sharper tools for sustainable decision-making.

Forests are critical regulators of the global water and carbon cycles. Understanding how they function — and how they respond to drought, warming, and land-use change — is essential for managing ecosystems, designing climate policy, and protecting biodiversity.
Our research provides the data and models needed to answer fundamental questions about forest function. From long-term flux tower monitoring in Khao Yai National Park to urban tree studies in Bangkok, we generate evidence that informs real-world decisions about forests and climate.
