Advanced modelling and analysis of tree-ring data
Group leaders: Andria DAWSON
Main objectives: Analysis and modelling of tree-ring data based on detailed inventory plots
Description: Group focused on large tree-ring database handling to model tree responses over time and space. The participants will use detailed forest inventory and tree-ring data combined with other ecological data to develop a model representing the main drivers of forest dynamics. The R environment will be used.
Most data used come from:
