In the forest dynamics and management laboratory, activities pertaining to monitoring the health of forest ecosystems are carried out through the use of indicators, such as the nutritional status of trees assessed by leaf chemistry analysis, tree growth by reading annular widths, and the biological quality of soils by monitoring the groups of arthropods that colonize it (QBS-ar).
