Henrik Hartmann

Prof. Henrik Hartmann holds dual roles as Professor of Forest Protection at Georg-August University Goettingen and Head of the Institute for Forest Protection at the Julius Kuehn-Institute for Cultivated Plants. Previously, he led a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena since 2014, focusing on biogeochemical processes and plant allocation strategies. His work examines tree responses to drought, nutrient storage dynamics, and carbon/nitrogen cycles in Amazon ecosystems.

Education: Studied Forestry and Biology at Canadian universities (University of New Brunswick and Laval University, Quebec), earning his PhD there. Professional roles include coordinating the IUFRO Task Force on Monitoring Global Tree Mortality and leading the International Tree Mortality Network.

Research emphasizes carbon-water cycling in changing climates, plant resource allocation, and forest resilience. No specific awards are listed, though his contributions to forest ecology are notable. His current affiliations bridge academic and applied forest research institutions.
