Overview

Elmar M. Veenendaal is affiliated with Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands and focuses on environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences. Their research is situated within multiple subfields including global and planetary change, nature and landscape conservation, ecology, evolution, behavior and systematics, soil science, and environmental engineering.

The scientist's work covers a range of topics mainly centered on ecological and vegetation dynamics, plant water relations and carbon dynamics, forest ecology and management, fire effects on ecosystems, conservation, biodiversity, and resource management, remote sensing and LiDAR applications, and species distribution related to climate change.
