Martin Guericke

Dr. Martin Guericke is a Professor at Eberswalde University of Sustainable Development, affiliated with the Department of Forest and Environment. As a leading expert in forest growth science, his work spans silvicultural modeling, climate change adaptation, and sustainable forest management. He has held key institutional roles such as Vorsitz Prüfungsausschuss Waldpädagogik (since 2011) and member of the Eberswalder Hochschulgesellschaft board (since 2011).

Research Interests:

• Applied forest growth modeling (BWINPro Brandenburg, larch-beech mixed stands)
• Dendrochronological analysis of tree-ring patterns
• Climate change impacts on growth dynamics in pure/mixed forest stands
• Decision support systems for adaptive forestry
• Carbon sequestration in forest ecosystems
• Historical evolution of forestry education in Eberswalde

Recent Publications highlight trends in:

• Tree-ring and NDVI-based climate fingerprint detection
• Development of climate-resilient afforestation techniques
• Modeling silvicultural scenarios for carbon mitigation
• Quantifying growth limitations in pine and mixed-species stands

Academic Leadership: He contributed to the design of the Bachelor program in Forest and Environmental Sciences and co-edited volumes on regional climate adaptation strategies.
