As part of the project 'RubraSelect', the Thünen Institute of Forest Genetics analyzed growth performance and drought stress tolerance of different red oak provenances from Germany and North America. This work provides an important contribution to the production and provision of high-quality forest…

Wolves have been back in Germany for over 20 years. In a recent study, the Thünen Institute presents new tools to answer the question of what the predators feed on.

On November 22, 2024, Melina Krautwurst successfully defended her PhD thesis on “Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of ash dieback in Fraxinus excelsior” at the University of Hamburg.
