Overview

Jürgen Bauhus is affiliated with the University of Freiburg in Germany and has a research focus centered on environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences. Their work spans various subfields including nature and landscape conservation, global and planetary change, insect science, plant science, and atmospheric science.

Their research covers a diverse range of topics, emphasizing ecological and vegetation dynamics, forest ecology and biodiversity, forest management and policy, plant water relations and carbon dynamics, tree-ring climate responses, and forest insect ecology and management. This broad scope reflects comprehensive engagement with forest ecosystems and their responses to environmental factors.

Among Jürgen Bauhus's recent publications are the following papers:

  • For the sake of resilience and multifunctionality, let's diversify planted forests! (2021) in Conservation Letters
  • Species richness stabilizes productivity via asynchrony and drought-tolerance diversity in a large-scale tree biodiversity experiment (2021) in Science Advances
  • Quantifying Growth Responses of Trees to Drought-a Critique of Commonly Used Resilience Indices and Recommendations for Future Studies (2020) in Current Forestry Reports
  • Growth resistance and resilience of mixed silver fir and Norway spruce forests in central Europe: Contrasting responses to mild and severe droughts (2021) in Global Change Biology
  • Concerns about reported harvests in European forests (2021) in Nature

Bauhus frequently collaborates with researchers including Michael Scherer-Lorenzen, Hervé Jactel, Bart Muys, Christian Messier, and Florian Schnabel. These coauthors have appeared alongside Bauhus in numerous publications, indicating recurring scientific partnerships.

Jürgen Bauhus has contributed extensively to several publication venues, with a particular number of works published in Forest Ecology and Management. Other venues featuring their research include SSRN Electronic Journal, Policy Briefs, Current Forestry Reports, and Annals of Forest Science.
