Young scientist researching the history of forest fires using sawn sections of trees receives Presidential Scholarship

Junior Researcher of the KarRC RAS Forest Research Institute, Doctoral Student Foma Vozmitel received Russian Presidential Scholarship. The young researcher makes reconstructions of the history of forest fires using dendrochronological methods. Sawn sections of trees can show when forest fires occurred with down to season precision, sometimes as far back as the 12th century. These data are important for understanding how forest ecosystems have evolved in different areas, and the impact of human activities and climate change on fire activity.
