Investigating how Eucalyptus species respond fluctuations in rain events followed by drying cycles, focusing on growth and physiological traits as coping mechanisms for drought.

Mini-rhizotrons at the IMPACT site to study Eucalyptus root architecture under varying competition levels, using machine learning to analyze root, environmental, and above-ground plant characteristics.

Project EucVision aims to conduct a comparative analysis of drones, manned aircraft, and satellites in the context of forestry applications.

This project will focus on developing a site index growth model for Eucalyptus that can be modified as weather conditions change to enhance prediction accuracy.

Rhizotrons are permanent devices used to measure plant roots; they typically have transparent viewing surfaces. These devices use high-resolution cameras to observe root development at the macroscopic or microscopic level.

Electronic design and IoT (Internet of Things) project under co-supervision of Prof. Booysens with the main aim to develop a wireless dendrometer utilising LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) technology.

The opportunity of climate change mitigation through global tree afforestation/reforestation programs has become the flavour of the decade.

Explore the development of xylem in Eucalyptus cladocalyx focusing on the relationship between cambial growth, exposure to cyclic drought and varying temperature changes.

Monitoring pests, diseases, and the diversity of foliar fungal microbiomes in various Eucalyptus species planted at the IMPACT OAL.

Conducting a soil functioning study at IMPACT. The study will be examining the use of the bait-lamina method as a monitoring tool for soil function in Eucalyptus plantations.
