About myself
I was born and raised in Germany. After serving 2 years in the infantry and spending a couple of years in Berlin just after the wall came down I immigrated to Canada in 1992. After several years of a self-chosen 'exile' in the Canadian wilderness - living in a wooden camp without electricity or running water - I decided that modern life wasn’t too bad after all.

Because I lived in a rural community entirely depending on forests and forest products I quickly became interested in forest management. After completing a forestry technician training program and a bachelor's degree in forest science, I recognized that viewing forests from a management perspective was not enough for me. I had to understand them as ecosystems. Hence I decided to pursue my education and started a M.Sc in Biology at UQAM (Université du Québec à Montréal) in Montreal (Canada) and switched one year later directly to a Ph.D., also at UQAM.

About my research
[Ph.D.]
During my postgraduate studies, I investigated growth and physiological responses of residual sugar maple trees to disturbances from partial (selection) harvest and insect defoliation. My studies showed that natural disturbances (insect defoliation) played a much more important role in sugar maple mortality than harvest disturbance. Even more interestingly, the study showed that although all trees had been defoliated during past epidemic events some trees had been much more negatively affected by defoliation than others maybe because of carbon limitation.

[Current research]
I am investigating ecophysiological responses of trees to drought stress. Because one of the hypothesized mechanisms involved in drought-induced mortality is carbon starvation, the focus of my studies was on the carbon budget of trees.

Since a couple of years, I have been increasingly interested in plant allocation with a focus on carbon and nitrogen. We have been investigating interactions between plants and symbionts and how these interactions are influenced by resource availability. To do so, we grow plants under varying degrees of atmospheric [CO2] and assess how patterns of allocation to divers sinks (e.g., structural growth, defense compounds, VOCs, C storage) are altered by C availability. Further research involves investigations on C storage regulation and changes in C catabolism during drought and shading.

[The future of global forests]
Globally, forests provide life-sustaining services: storing carbon, hosting biodiversity, and regulating climate. These services are threatened by rapidly changing environmental conditions. Recent observations document widespread tree mortality in all forested biomes, but the lack of reliable global assessments of forest condition currently precludes conclusions about a real threat.

In 2014 I organized an international interdisciplinary workshop on tree mortality (see Hartmann et al. 2015, New Phytol). The main conclusion of the workshop was more information on forest condition is needed – at the global scale. I am running an international initiative that seeks to promote interdisciplinarity as a key to scientific progress. A follow-up workshop of the 2014 initiative was held in June 2017 and aimed to initiate concrete networking activities for assessing global forest conditions at spatial scales relevant to tree mortality. Please see HERE for more information.
