Forests, Water and People

Welcome, to the Forests, Water and People research group. We are a diverse group of researchers, that bring together unique and independent set of skills, to try and solve site, regional and large-scale issues related to forest hydrology. 

Our research covers various forest types, ranging from boreal, to temperate and tropical forests. We have ongoing collaborative research projects in Sweden, Mexico, Rwanda, and USA. More information in Ongoing Projects.

What’s New?

  • We started installing sensors under our radar tower. Some of the sensors include: sap flow, stem water content, point dendrometers, stem water potential (Florapulse), soil water potential, among others.
