The Forest Ecophysiology Group is dedicated to quantifying fluxes between forests and the atmosphere and studying their responses to environmental changes. We work across tropical forests, urban forests, and boreal systems, combining field measurements, data analysis, and modeling.

Khao Yai National Park — Long-term Monitoring
Khao Yai National Park — Long-term Monitoring
Our primary field sites are in Khao Yai National Park (KYNP), a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand. Since 2019–2020, we have operated two flux towers — one in an old-growth forest (>200 years old, 50 m canopy height) and one in a young regenerating forest (~10 years old, 20 m canopy height). Both towers continuously collect meteorological data and tree water flow (sap flow) measurements at 30-minute intervals.

We also conduct research on urban trees and forests in Bangkok, including studies at Chulalongkorn University Centenary Park and various street tree sites. This work examines how urban trees regulate temperature, absorb CO₂, and respond to the unique stresses of city environments — informing urban greening policy for tropical cities.
