TOPIC 2 – Adaptive and Multifunctional Forest Management Systems
We are seeking to join an international consortium under Topic 2 – Adaptive and Multifunctional Forest Management Systems of the FOREST Joint Call 2026 as a funded research partner.
Our expertise includes dendrochronology, dendroecology, quantitative wood anatomy, cambial activity, and xylogenesis, with particular emphasis on understanding how forest trees respond to climatic variability and environmental stress.
We can contribute tree-ring analyses, climate–growth relationships, assessments of species-specific growth responses to drought and temperature extremes, and quantitative wood anatomical indicators of tree growth and acclimation.
Our approaches can support the evaluation of forest resilience, comparison of tree species and environmental conditions, and the development of science-based strategies for adaptive forest management.
We are particularly interested in integrating dendrochronological and anatomical data with forest inventory, ecological monitoring, and growth modelling approaches. We could potentially contribute Slovenian case studies involving Norway spruce and Douglas-fir.
We welcome collaboration with coordinators developing international proposals on adaptive forest management, climate resilience, forest monitoring, and sustainable forest systems.

The University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty, Department of Wood Science and Technology (Slovenia), conducts research on wood structure, tree growth, dendrochronology, wood formation, and the relationships between environmental conditions and wood anatomical characteristics.
Our research expertise includes dendrochronology, dendroecology, quantitative wood anatomy, cambial activity, seasonal xylem formation (xylogenesis), and the analysis of tree responses to environmental and climatic stress.
We combine tree-ring measurements, climate–growth analyses, wood anatomical and histological techniques, and environmental data to investigate long-term growth patterns and the cellular processes underlying wood formation.
Our research covers coniferous and broadleaved species, including Norway spruce (Picea abies), Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), and European beech (Fagus sylvatica).
Our laboratory has experience in wood sample preparation, microscopy, histological analyses, quantitative wood anatomy, and tree-ring analysis. We collaborate with international research groups working on dendrochronology, forest ecology, tree physiology, and climate-related growth responses.
Our expertise can complement forest monitoring, ecophysiological, and modelling approaches by providing both retrospective tree-ring evidence and cellular-level information on tree growth and environmental acclimation.
