Nieberg (né Mahnken)

My research is focussed on the interactions between forest ecosystem service provisioning and forest management under climate change with transforming disturbance regimes in Europe. Using process-based forest growth model simulations with 4C (FORESEE) I am exploring different management, climate and disturbance scenarios regarding future ecosystem service provisioning shifts.
