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:

• https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1365-2745.12728

• https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ecy.3306

Skills you will acquire:

• Large tree-ring database handling

• Modelling forest responses using R and Bayesian statistics
