NepalRing is a collaborative research project involving Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen–Nürnberg, the Central Department of Biotechnology at Tribhuvan University and the Nepal Academy of Science and Technology. The project strengthens dendrochronological and dendrometer-based research in Nepal and supports the development of a network for investigating climate variability, forest growth and tree responses to environmental change across the Nepal Himalaya.
The project combins tree-ring measurements with high-resolution dendrometer observations and climate data. It supports the development and analysis of long-term tree-ring chronologies, assessment of climate–growth relationships and monitoring of intra-annual stem-radius variations. The resulting datasets contributs to climate reconstruction, evaluation of species-specific growth responses and subsequent development of approaches for modelling intra- and interannual tree growth under changing climatic conditions.
