Dr. Martin Thurner
PostDoc Research interests
My main interest is in the response and feedback of the carbon cycle in the land vegetation to climate change, with a special focus on boreal and temperate forest ecosystems. I am particularly interested if increases in plant respiration and forest mortality due to rising temperatures and more frequent and severe climate extremes may outweigh gross productivity increases in the future. In order to address these research questions, the monitoring of vegetation characteristics and dynamics therein by remote sensing technologies will be of vital importance. I am using remote sensing-based information on the spatial distribution of forest carbon stocks (biomass) in synergy with field data in order to evaluate, calibrate and improve global vegetation models.
