The ecological modeling conference ecem23.eu is getting close. Our team will be represented by Tomáš Hlásny, Katarína Merganičová, and Nick the Nick Schafstall, PhD Shafstall. Looking forward to meeting you all! ECEM 2023 Leipzig

Another exciting event over – we gave several presentations on ECEM 2023 Leipzig, met good friends, and discovered many new ideas and motivations. Thanks to the organizers for their great work! RESONATE Olalla Díaz-Yáñez Rupert Seidl #forest #climatechange

Was a pleasure to present our joint work with Marcus Lindner and Julia Haas from FOREST EUROPE at ECEM 2023 Leipzig . Knowledge obtained through ecosystem models can be crucial for transforming forest risk management in EU. Are we prepared for this challenge? RESONATE

Let`s start the Third RESONATE meeting! And why not by an early-morning cycling trip across the old Rovinj? Marco Baldo Tomáš Hlásny

Will climate change hamper or facilitate forest restoration efforts in C Europe? Really relevant work for conservation managers at #BerchtesgadenNationalPark & beyond. And a wonderful first paper by Christina Dollinger, out now in Journal of Applied Ecology. Big congrats! doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Progressing on development of multimedia teaching materials for the “Global Change Forestry” course at the Faculty of Forestry ČZU v Praze. The video shooting phase has been completed, excited to share the final product in early 2024. Stay tuned! #climatechange RESONATE

Two great workshops on forest management under climate change with forest owners in Czechia. Piloting a questionnaire on owners' preparedness for crisis situations. Great to see positive shifts in owners’ attitudes and practices. RESONATE #climatechange 🌍

A new paper by Katarina Merganičová from our team and Croatian colleagues. Changes in carbon content in different deadwood decay stages quantified. An important contribution to calibrating C cycle in ecosystem models #ecosystems #carbon #forests sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

These two papers provide rare insights into the economy of natural disturbances, a quite missing perspective: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #forests #resilience #RiskManagement #climatechange

#EGU24 is approaching! Our colleague Katarína Merganičová co-organizes a session: Carbon emissions & removals estimates from "Land use, land-use change and forestry sector using field measurements, remote sensing and modelling meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/…. Apply and meet us there!

A nice summary of the current outcomes of the TreeMort_ERC project by EU Research Results. Results published/coming made happen by Adriane Esquivel-Muelbert N. Acil 🌍🛰🌳🌲🌴 ForestPlots Daijun Liu Annemarie Julen Astigarraga Biodiv. & Ecosystem Services in a Changing Climate BIFoR and many many more cordis.europa.eu/article/id/448…

Sabina transitioned from grasslands to unmanaged forests for her PhD. Adapting to new methods, she sought reliable help for data collection in remote areas. Contacts from various fields helped in her research which she now shares with by chairing a Cost Action!🌳#Bottomsup

In case you missed it, Christina Dollinger presented her work on #restoration efforts in the #Berchtesgaden National Park. Will #forest composition & structural diversity increase by 2100? How does #climatechange impact composition recovery? Find out here 👇 youtu.be/Ys27EsXj694

A new great paper, congrat! Ecosystem modelling helps discern the effects of forest structure and climate on the biodiversity of forest understorey.

A new version of the climatic database FORESEE providing seamless climate data for Central Europe published! A number of climate models and much more in an easy-to-use format. Congrat Laura Dobor et al.

Read what Hans Verkerk (European Forest Institute (EFI)) and Ruben Valbuena say about the ongoing work on monitoring the health conditions and future developments of European forests. ForwardsEU forwards-project.eu/crucial-for-ta…

We are hiring! Join a well-established research team at the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague. Biological invasions, remote sensing, and ecosystem modeling: fld.czu.cz/en/r-11220-new…

Young ecological modelers, this looks like a cool event (: yomos.org/next-workshop

New research! Forests inherently adapt to climate change. But what if selective foraging by ungulates disables these processes? How does it affect future disturbance dynamics, and where are the limits of resilience? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc… RESONATE

Our PhD student Agnish Agnish Kumar Das was impressed by the vast forest mortality in Czechia, making him write a nice and poetic piece of reading. medium.com/ph-d-stories/d… Good to see how our students perceive the forests and science RESONATE #climatechange
