Our undergraduate researcher, Cansu Baran, recently visited the Institute of Lowland Forestry and Environment (ILFE) in Novi Sad, Serbia, as an intern, where she worked with Dr. Srdjan Stojnić and his research team.

During her stay, she contributed to studies on Fagus sylvatica L., one of the most widespread tree species in Europe and a species known to be highly vulnerable to climatic stress. She gained hands-on experience in leaf anatomical analyses using cryosectioning and light microscopy, including measurements of leaf cross-sections. In addition, she participated in fieldwork conducted within the framework of the Horizon Europe project FRUITDIV.

We sincerely thank Dr. Stojnić and his team for their warm hospitality, productive collaboration, and inspiring scientific exchange.
