In Central Europe, forest management shapes post-disturbance recovery mostly through what’s left behind (disturbance legacies 🪵🌱) than impacting forest growth rates 📈
+ Set-aside forests regrow canopy height as fast as managed forests
New paper out in ForEcolMngt 🌳 doi.org/10.1016/j.fo...
Feeling so honored to see our disturbance maps featured in a beautiful visual story navigating forest health across Germany! 🌲🌳🛰️
New paper by @albavianasoto.bsky.social and @corneliussenf.bsky.social on forest reburns in southern Europe, published in Glob. Ecol. and Biogeography🌲🔥
Highlight: 30.1% of burned forest area experiencing multiple fire events since 1985.

First time joining a podcast! 🎙️ Definitely still learning the art of improvising in this format, but it was such a fun experience. Huge thanks to Hans, Neda, and the whole team for making it possible and creating such a great space to talk about forest monitoring from space! 🛰️🌲🗺️
Agradecemos enormemente á investigadora Alba Viana por esta interesantísima conferencia.
@mbgcsic.bsky.social @drxeo.eu @adrianregos.bsky.social @csicgalicia.bsky.social
Nesta conferencia exploraremos como a #teledetección —mediante satélites e datos espaciais— permite identificar, cuantificar e seguir a evolución dos danos #forestais, así como os procesos de recuperación #ecolóxica 🛰️🌲.
Esperámosvos!

Here's a quick peek #behindthescenes as our Chief Scientist Hans Verkerk is getting ready to record an upcoming episode for the #ForestChats podcast. Hans will be talking with @albavianasoto.bsky.social from @tum.de about forest disturbances and the work done within @forestpaths.eu
Greetings from the #LPS in Vienna! Tomorrow's the last and the hottest (at least for us) day at the conference: a talk by @albavianasoto.bsky.social and posters by a lot of PhD students! Do not miss the chance to connect ;)
We will be in Vienna for the entire next week, attending the Living Planet Symposium! Below is an overview of our talks and posters:🧵
#LPS25
Two inspiring days of discussions to better understand forests' adaptive capacity to disturbances! 🌳🔥🪲💨
Grateful for the inspiring group, the motivation, and the ideas we exchanged!
Thanks to @dfg.de for funding and to @edfm-tum.bsky.social for being part of the journey. Excited for what's ahead! 🚀
Setting forests aside doesn’t stir up more trouble—in fact, it calms the chaos 🌳
Happy to see my first PhD chapter out! 📝
Setting aside forests for biodiversity conservation does NOT amplify disturbances in temperate forests of Central Europe.

Six years in the making and finally published! Our viewpoint on how to improve tree mortality monitoring. With in-depth discussion on how to improve ground-based monitoring, integration of ground-based monitoring with remote sensing and modelling, and fair and collaborative science: lnkd.in/dJgSRQHt
The first #sentinel2c #s2c image being processed by #FORCE_EO 🛰️ Data quality looks awesome!
Welcome to the new BlueSky page of our group! Follow for updates on our research in many collaborative projects examining forest structure, disturbance and recovery - with the main focus on European temperate forests and a new direction exploring the Eurasian boreal biome!
