Forest Pathology
Last changed: 12 April 2019
Our research in forest pathology concentrates on pathogenic fungi causing diseases in forests. We study the interactions between the pathogen, the host tree and the environment from molecular to ecosystem level.
We investigate the biology of the fungal pathogens, colonization and dispersal patterns as well as possible measures to control or prevent damage to the forests.
Watch a movie from Future Forest about forestry and climate change.
Ongoing projects
- Root and butt rot
- Emerging diseases
- Our future forests
- Detection of fungi
- Host-pathogen interactions
- Understanding and preventing root rot of conifers
- What defines a tree’s microbiome, the genotype, the stand or the landscape context?
