Research summary
AI-generated

Andrei Toca studies how forest tree seedlings, especially pine species, grow and adapt to environmental stresses such as drought, cold, and nutrient availability. The work spans root system development in nursery settings, frost tolerance, and drought memory in trees, connecting seedling physiology to forest management and restoration practices. This research is relevant to students interested in tree physiology, forestry practices, and how forests may respond to climate change.
