Climate Adaptation and Forest Management Laboratory (ACGB.Lab)

The Laboratory aims to address key research gaps related to the analysis and modelling of climate adaptation in forests and forest plantations, integrating the dimensions of sustainable development into forest management to improve their health and resilience while optimizing their efficiency to contribute to mitigating the climate crisis.

To achieve this, data from forest ecosystems are used and obtained from various sources and at different scales for analysis and interpretation through tools that assist decision-making in the management, planning, and sustainable production of these ecosystems. The tools used by researchers vary depending on the context and specificity of the data to be analysed, which may come from both remote sources and in-situ trials (sensors, cameras, inventories, etc.) and measurements at the individual or species level (ecophysiological variables).

The ACGB.Lab team is led by Professor Andrés Plaza-Aguilar and composed of Eng. (BSc) Katerin Rojas-Quintanilla. Additionally, Matías Villalobos Pizarro collaborates with the team.
