What a forest's glow can reveal about the impact of environmental change
Briefly

In this research, we are using chlorophyll fluorometers to measure emitted light from Scots pine trees, helping us understand how ecosystems respond to environmental changes.
The low intensity of fluorescence, at only 1% of absorbed light, still provides informative variations, indicating potential relationships with carbon dioxide levels and plant emissions.
Our project employs fluorometers and automated chambers in a forest to measure gas exchange, producing mechanized sounds, which contrasts with the typical tranquility of a forest.
My research focuses on understanding plant interactions with the environment at varying scales, from individual leaves to larger ecosystems. Each scale presents unique complexities.
