The University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna, the "Alma Mater Viridis”, is the University of Sustainability and Life Sciences. It is BOKU's task to make a key contribution to the conservation and protection of resources for future generations through its wide variety of expertise. Combining natural sciences, engineering plus social and economic sciences, its aim is to increase knowledge of the ecologically and economically sustainable use of natural resources. With 10,000 students and over 2,900 staff members, BOKU is one of Europe’s leading life science universities.

The central tasks of the Department of Forest and Soil Sciences are research and research-guided teaching on analysis, modeling and management of forest ecosystems as well as soil use and soil protection. The research competence of the Department is unique in Austria and covers the entire range of services and functions of forest ecosystems.
The Institute of Forest Ecology conducts research at different scale levels, from ecophysiological processes within individual organisms to ecosystem patterns and processes at the landscape level. Focal points of the institute are linking soil processes to forest ecosystem function at the stand level and dynamic processes in tree populations. Emphasis is also put on the investigation of the effects of climate change and other natural and anthropogenic disturbances in forest ecosystems.

- Forest soil science and forest site ecology (classification and mapping of forest sites)
- Energy and water budget of forest ecosystems (forest climatology, forest hydrology)
- Nutrient and carbon budget of forest ecosystems (biogeochemistry)
- Forest dynamics and its impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services

In addition to research questions on the main topics of the Institute of Forest Ecology, interdisciplinary research topics are to be worked on in teamwork with scientists of BOKU. An active participation in the further development of the BOKU field offices and experimental sites is strongly desired.

Teaching in the Department of Forest Ecology includes lectures, tutorials and excursions in German and English as well as the supervision of bachelor and master theses and dissertations. Teaching also requires participation in interdisciplinary events and practical exercises, as well as integration and collaboration with BOKU doctoral schools. In addition to this teaching activity, participation in the further development of curricula is expected, in particular of the Bachelor's program in Forestry and the Master's programs in Forest Sciences and Mountain Forestry.
