Collaborative research with TreeDivNet

TreeDivNet welcomes all collaborations with researchers within and beyond the network. If you would like to use TreeDivNet data for a paper project, please reach out to the network coordinators (prof. Kris Verheyen and prof. Michael Scherer-Lorenzen) with your specific research question and data request before approaching any individual sites.

Following a screening by the TreeDivNet management committee, you will be invited to circulate a paper-proposal to inform all members of a new opportunity for collaboration. This way, TreeDivNet aims to avoid overlap with existing projects, while making sure that all possible contributors have the opportunity to join in the proposed research.

If you are interested in co-operating in TreeDivNet or if you have another question, feel free to contact For questions about the website, you can contact us here.
