Since 2020, I have been responsible for the scientific support of the FOEN in the
DRYSOM assesses soil organic matter (SOM) to drought in a long-term irrigation experiment (Pfynwald). Responses range from a suppressed processing through microbial and faunal communities, decreases in carbon inputs from trees into soils, to shifts in soil carbon storage.
These SOM shifts have consequences for microbial communities and long-term carbon

During my Internship, I have worked on hydrological model comparison under climate
Hyperparasitism, the fundamental relationship between two parasitic organisms typically provides the basis for biological control. We investigate the infection dynamics of a mycovirus, which acts as biological control agent of the introduced tree disease.
Mycoviruses that infect plant pathogenic fungi have the potential to be used as biocontrol
Glacier water pockets (GWPs) are elusive bodies of liquid water that can form within glaciers.
How can the locations of GWPs be determined, and which morphologies do they have?
This ETH-Domain ORD Program Contribute Project aims at curating and uploading the existing data of the European Long-term treeline Ecosystem Research (eLTER) site Stillberg, Switzerland, was established in to national and international ORD platforms (EnviDat, DEIMS-SDR).
In almost 50 years, we have collected a wealth of ecological and environmental data
The emergence of visible tree-stress symptoms caused by the emerald ash borer occurs only several years after its arrival and are hard to tell apart from those caused by soil drought. Here, we investigate the potential of reflectance spectroscopy as an early-warning screening tool.
Consequently, the early detection and containment of these species have gained importance
We want to explore a stable isotope tree-ring approach for analyzing physiological drought responses of trees. The results are expected to provide a novel diagnostic tool for understanding causes of tree decline.
Deuterium isotope ratios have been rarely applied in this context, but could be an
Teaser
Although each test site will be small, the whole experiment will have an unprecedented
This project will digitise the 100+ years worth of data that is stored in field note books, plot maps, hand-drawn root structures and crown maps etc.
They have proved to be very valuable for many WSL projects in connection with modelling
