Dr. Franka Huth
Research interests and focus
- Regeneration ecology of tree species (investigation of individual stages and processes within the regeneration cycle)
- Ecosystem services of forests
- Development and adaptation of silvicultural action concepts to specific framework conditions (environmental conditions, owner objectives, etc.)
