Project description

This research aims to map the response of Mongolian oak to increasing disturbances, such as drought, using annual ring measurements and biomass data. On this basis, the future distribution of the species can be simulated using species distribution models. The analysis thus includes estimating
growth stability, responses to disturbances and future distribution, providing valuable insights for forest management.
