Enrico Tomelleri

Enrico Tomelleri is a Professor at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (unibz), Italy, where he is affiliated with the Faculty of Agricultural, Environmental and Food Sciences. His research focuses on forest ecology, climate change impacts on mountain forests, and sustainable forest management practices in the Alpine region.

His research expertise spans multiple critical areas in forest science:

• Forest ecology and disturbance ecology
• Climate-sustainable forestry and silviculture
• Phenology and eddy covariance measurements
• Biogeochemistry and global change ecology
• Biodiversity assessment and conservation
• Forest geomatics, remote sensing, and drone applications

Dr. Tomelleri's recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on understanding how mountain forests respond to climate change and disturbances such as windstorms and bark beetle outbreaks. His work integrates field observations with remote sensing technologies to develop more effective forest monitoring and management approaches. A significant portion of his research examines the impacts of climate change on forest ecosystems in the Alps, with particular attention to phenological changes, carbon cycling, and biodiversity conservation. His research on ancient fruit trees in South Tyrol has provided valuable insights into historical climate patterns through dendrochronological analysis.

Dr. Tomelleri teaches courses including Wood Anatomy and Productive Forestry, Forest Inventory, and Management of Mountain Forests in both Italian and English language programs at the university. His recent projects include studying the impacts of the Vaia storm on forest ecosystems and developing innovative monitoring techniques like the TreeTalker system. He maintains an active research profile with numerous publications in 2025 alone, reflecting his significant contributions to understanding forest dynamics in a changing climate.
