<span style="color:black">How resilient are African tropical forests to a changing climate? How is this affected by tree functional diversity? What drives the functional composition of these forests? We are looking for a fellow to join us in pursuit of answers.
In the FunDiCeS project we will combine measurements from the unique Rwanda Tree experiment (<a href="http://www.rwandatree.com"><span style="color:black">www.rwandatree.com</span></a>) with a state-of-the-art global vegetation model, LPJ-GUESS. LPJ-GUESS
is particularly suited to the study of forest dynamics and recent work has substantially upgraded the model’s capability to simulate hydraulic stress. The fellow will improve and apply this upgraded model to investigate how we can better simulate the composition
and dynamics of tropical montane forests.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="color:black">The fellow will work under the supervision of Thomas Pugh and alongside a wider team of researchers working on forest dynamics and ecosystem modelling at Lund University, as well as with project partners at the University of Rwanda
and University of Gothenburg, and with the pan-European community developing the LPJ-GUESS model. They will also become part of the BECC research platform, a collaboration between Lund University and the University of Gothenburg, which brings together over
250 researchers working on the topics related to biodiversity and ecosystem services under a changing climate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
