Natasha Clairet completed her Master 2 followed by two months of research at the LERFoB (UMR1092) lab at INRA. She participated in the ClimTree 2013 conference (Climate Change and Tree Responses in Central European Forests) which was held earlier in September 2013, in Zurich. The aim of this event, organized in conjunction with the 20th anniversary celebration anniversary of EFI (European Forest Institute), was to take stock of research currently focused on the impact of climate change on forests in the centre of Europe. Natasha was awarded the first prize for her poster entitled: “Interactions between climate-growth relationships and social tree status in a mature silver-fir Plantation”.

In her research, Natacha was able to show that trees from different social status, despite formation from contrasting wood, responded similarly to interannual climate variations.

Natasha is currently looking for a thesis funded to start a scientific career after his promising debut.

Our congratulations !
