معرفی
Dr. Jörg Kunz is a Professor at Hochschule Geisenheim University, affiliated with the Institute for Urban Horticulture and Plant Use. His research focuses on drought resilience in trees, urban horticulture innovations, and climate adaptation strategies. Key affiliations include leadership in a federally funded project (2023–2026) developing biochar-based substrates for urban tree vitality.
Research Interests: Dr. Kunz investigates plant responses to environmental stress, specializing in:
- Drought tolerance mechanisms in European tree species
- Silvicultural practices to enhance forest resilience
- Urban green infrastructure for climate mitigation
- Physiological impacts of soil amendments like liming and biochar
His recent publications (2013–2020) analyze tree growth under drought, species suitability for climate-vulnerable regions, and regeneration dynamics in managed forests. Common themes include radial growth measurement, gas exchange, and comparative species ecology.
Active Project: Leading ‘Black2GoGreen’ (2023–2026), a €1.2M initiative to implement biochar-macadam substrates in German cities, enhancing tree survival during extreme weather.
