Axel Göttlein

Prof. Dr. Axel Göttlein holds a professorship in Forest Nutrition and Water Balance at the TUM School of Life Sciences, Technische Universität München. His research focuses on nutrient dynamics and water balance in forest ecosystems across scales, from rhizosphere processes to large-scale forest management impacts. Key areas include phosphorus and sulfur in sustainable forestry, climatic limits of tree species, and nutrient diagnostics.

Research interests:
- Nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems
- Effects of forest management on soil and water
- Climate change adaptation of tree species
- Nutrient element thresholds for tree species health

Publications highlight methodological advancements in nutrient assessment and ecological modeling. No scientific awards are listed, but his work is featured in journals like Forest Ecology and Management and Allg. Forst- u. J.-Ztg. Contact details are managed via TUMonline.
