Changing climatic circumstances have a significant impact on forests: besides higher temperatures, more intensive and frequent storms and drought spells are major challenges for forest conservation and management in the future. European Forests have been a significant carbon sink within the last decades, allowing for natural carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere and so aiding in the mitigation of climate change and its consequences. Modelling tree growth is key for better understanding tree health and carbon sequestration.
