On day 1, in a intensive meeting, we discuss the current results and status of the project at the f Faculty of Environment and Natural Resources in Freiburg. Lots of results and deliverables have mounted up that need to be connected and put into place. Also, first data from the intensive LAI&LMA campaign are processed and presented by WP3. On day 2, we go on a field trip with Uli Kohnle from FVA to long-term experimental plots of beech in Stupferich beech near Karlsruhe.
