The Swiss Forestry Journal has published a special edition to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Long-Term Forest Ecosystem Research LWF. The LWF is a forest monitoring network of the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL and provides a wide range of information on the state and dynamics of Swiss forests over the last three decades. One of the articles is dedicated to the results of Natkon dendrometers and characterizes Swiss forest tree species in terms of their growth and drought stress behavior. And one of our ZN12-T-WPs has even made it onto the front cover of issue 2|2025.
