Forests are reorganizing in their composition and structure in response to climate change - will they be able to maintain their carbon?
Turns out: yes - they even sequestered more carbon than resilient forests!

New paper out in Global Biogeochemical Cycles 🔄💎 @agu.org dx.doi.org/10.1029/2025...

Central Europe has seen unprecedented forest disturbances recently, but how are forests recovering? We surveyed disturbance hotspots in 10 countries 3-5 years after disturbance, finding ample tree regeneration and no signs of forest loss (median 4750 stems/ha), but... 1/2 doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

We're hiring! In the Future Forests excellence cluster, we're looking for a postdoc in participatory modelling. If you like modelling but are also interested in transdisciplinary research and co-creation with stakeholders, this position is for you! 🌲🤝🧑‍💻 uni-freiburg.de/en/job/00004...

Yesterday, our PhDs visited the Šumava National Park, the Czech neighbor to our Bayerischer Wald NP 🇨🇿🇩🇪
Together they cover an impressive area of >900 km² fittingly dubbed "borderless wilderness" - a great reminder of the privilege of getting to do "borderless science" in a "borderless team"! 🏞️

I’m really concerned about early career scientists using generative AI in writing, because writing is how we think and reflect. There’s almost nothing *more* human than that, and to give that gift away to a machine is almost unconscionable to me

Do you like forests and computer models? 🌳🧑‍💻
Within the Future Forests excellence cluster, we are hiring two modellers for 7 year (!) positions here in Freiburg.

A scientific coordinator role: uni-freiburg.de/en/job/00004...

And and a scientific programmer role: uni-freiburg.de/en/job/00004...

Career perspective npj Biological Timing and Sleep - In this career perspective article, the author describes her long pathway to a professorship in Germany.

Very interesting career perspective from Charlotte Helfrich-Förster.

A lot of very good advices for young scientists

BIIIIIIIG thank you to my amazing team of coauthors @wernerrammer.bsky.social, @akkym.bsky.social, @monicagturner.bsky.social, and @rupertseidl.bsky.social 💚

Yippie, my paper is now out in Global Ecology and Biogeography!

Basically, we tried to destroy (simulated!) forest landscapes

And despite increasing disturbances 100-fold and decreasing regeneration by 99% - we didn't manage to! (in most cases anyways)

Find out more at doi.org/10.1111/geb....

My favourite kind of simulation study - driven by pressing challenges in ecosystem management and executed in cooperation with the people facing them on the ground right now.
Great work by @ttkeller.bsky.social and Co.! 🔥

Fun to get to rave about simulation modelling in forests and iLand a bit! 🌲💻

Everything @juditlecinadiaz.bsky.social said!

@gfoesoc.bsky.social

Interested in what me and my amazing coauthors found out about future carbon? 🌳🇯🇵🇩🇪🇺🇸

Then come listen to my talk tomorrow (Thursday) at GfÖ!
(12:15, Room 2.002)

That's so cool, Sebastian! Really great work from you and your community! 🌞

Great talk on a deep learning application for ecology by Johannes Dollinger (@johdolgha.bsky.social) from the Uni Zürich!

Main takeway: deep learning products should not primarily be used to replace ecological research but can rather help guide it (e.g., by identifying priority areas) 💻🎯🥾

Really interesting study, thank you! I was not familiar with discount rates before so it was very interesting to learn about them here in the context of forest restoration. And I'm glad that the results suggest that individuals extend compassion to future generations!

Yess, iLand world domination 💪🏻

Super cool to have you visiting!

May the forest be with you – Bäume pflanzen gegen die Klimakrise? Der Harz wurde von Borkenkäfern gefressen, nur jeder vierte Baum in Deutschland gilt als gesund und in Russland sowie Nordamerika brennen...

I passionately recommend listening to the recording of her talk: media.ccc.de/v/38c3-may-t...

My dear colleague @kirstenkrueger.bsky.social just gave an amazing talk at the Chaos Computer Club!
She talked about what forests can do for us and we for them in the face of climate change. While at it, she also created my new favourite ecology meme!

お誕生日おめでとうございます!

Thank you, and yeah, I can't wait either, the "Vorfreude" (pre-joy?!) is immense! I also really enjoyed your video about your research in GYE and specifically Timon's study - so cool and compelling! 🌳⛰️🔥

Welcome To My Lab - Ep. 1 with Christina Dollinger YouTube video by TUM Graduate School

Why working @edfm-tum.bsky.social is my dream job 💚

I talk about my research, the ups and downs of my PhD, and what makes this job so fulfilling for me

Hi 🦋,
I'm excited to build up a cool scientific network on here!
