New paper in Nature Climate Change! What are the costs of increasing disturbances? Find out in this amazing contribution by @johannesmohr.bsky.social! Great to see this out and congrats Johannes on such a nice first PhD paper! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Rising cost of disturbances for forestry in Europe under climate change - Nature Climate Change

Climate change will raise the severity and frequency of forest disturbance, damaging the economic value of timber. Researchers show Europe’s timber-based forestry could lose up to €247 billion, yet in...

We had to change our summer retreat plans due to bad weather but Munichs technical museum was a great alternative. They even have a stuffed spy pigeon on display!

What a defense! Very well done @lisa-mandl.bsky.social! A a special day for me, as Lisa was my first ever PhD student as a prof. I think I was equally nervous beforehand 😅

Lisa Mandl @lisa-mandl.bsky.social · Jul 22

A big thanks to my supervisor @corneliussenf.bsky.social and @rupertseidl.bsky.social, @anastritih.bsky.social and Patrick Hostert for being on my commitee!

And to the amazing @eoem-tum.bsky.social crew: You made my defense day unforgettable. Thanks for everything – especially for the great hat! 🎓🎉

Were recent waves of large-scale forest dieback predictable? We say yes! A simple approach to describe temporal disturbance dynamics based on Taylor's Law. Now out in Nature Communications: rdcu.be/euG1A Thanks @tommaso-jucker.bsky.social and @rupertseidl.bsky.social for this great project!

Probably less/no salvage logging. We controlled for species composition. There was no planned harvest included, only unplanned in response to or natural disturbances directly.

Natural disturbances are often invoked as an argument against creating new forest reserves. But are reserves more affected by disturbances than managed forests? For C Europe the answer is no, in fact reserves have lower disturbance rate & severity than managed forests! doi.org/10.1111/1365...

📣PNAS piece led by @philrufin.bsky.social: commercial very-high-resolution EO data is needed for monitoring SDG 2 indicators in smallholder landscapes but costs are prohibitive. A call for open access for sustainability-centered research: doi.org/10.1073/pnas... @humboldtuni.bsky.social

$A drone capture of a smallholder farming landscape. Overlaid are squares of the size of typical optical satellite missions. Openly accessible data (e.g. Landsat or Sentinel-2) is often not sufficient to capture the landscape complexity in full detail, for example when trying to delineate individual fields. Here, one Landsat pixel contains fractions of multiple fields. Commercial data come at higher spatial resolution, offering potential to discriminate indivudual landscape components.$
