Paolo Cherubini's research interests lie within tree physiology, forest ecology, and evolution, relevant to the knowledge and sustainable management of natural resources and nature conservation. He strives to understand the key processes behind tree growth, to gain a thorough understanding of the influence of environmental stress on tree physiological processes, focusing on the impact of environmental stress on wood formation. Linking dendrochronology, dendroecology with ecophysiology is the main aim of his research.
