Research Interests 🔬

Katja Kröner’s research interests lie at the intersection of forest growth modeling and remote sensing technologies. Her work focuses on understanding how tree physiological and structural adaptations, particularly in response to drought conditions, affect forest dynamics. Key areas of her research include the application of Terrestrial Laser Scanning to capture the 3D structure of trees, the analysis of tree-ring data to assess growth patterns, and the development of quantitative models to simulate forest responses to environmental stressors. By exploring the correlations between crown morphology, branch architecture, and tree resilience, Kröner aims to enhance our understanding of forest adaptation mechanisms and contribute to more effective forest management strategies in the face of climate change.
