Today Gina Marano presented her first results on #drought impacts on #tree #growth at the SISEF-Selvicoltura ed ecologia forestale Congress. Congratulations!

Why do some #beech trees #dieback after #drought and others do not? We analyzed the growth differences between vital and declining beech trees & found that declining trees had been growing less since more than 60 years. Find more exciting results here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🚨🚨Hot off the press: The largest forest model intercomparison ever done in Europe in the last 20 years in a totally innovative performance framework just published on Global Change Biology. Proudly part of it! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

How diverse are the models we use to assess climate impacts on forests, and how much "DNA" of early models do they still contain? And why is this relevant for current assessments? New article published together with H. Bugmann of Forest Ecology ETH in Journal of Ecology: doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Nice work led by Winslow Hansen Cary Institute, showing that exposure to past climate variability makes forests more robust to current variability in climate. With @K_Albrich @naomibschwartz Anja Rammig @stavercarla and others not on twitter. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

We are at #fded2022 and today Gina Marano shared her interesting results related to drought in the very first session

Looking forward to further developments! #drought #mortality #forclim

Come and join our team! 👩‍💻💻🌲

Our new paper is out! 🥰 Phenology is a key indicator of tree vulnerability to climate change and extreme events, and remote sensing provides excellent tools to upscale it at large geographical scale! 🌿🌞❄️ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

There maybe no leeway to enhance both carbon sequestration and stock capacity through changes to the 'business as usual' forest management practices. Just out on Agricultural and Forest Meteorology Journal an open access study discussing on this issue. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our Forest Ecology ETH research group meeting has become interstellar thanks to Tom Hands !

ProForM is a new dynamic simulation model for #temperate #mountain #forest that allows for a detailed assessment of forests #protective function against #natural #hazards. The model is now out and available here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… github.com/uelischmid/Pro…

Forest modelling experts from Europe are currently discussing the perspectives of modelling UFZ. Topics include droughts and forest management, remote sensing, AI, but also theory. Forest modelling helps us to understand the state of our forests and to study forest futures.

Today at the Swiss Global Change Day ProClim with a great representation from our group Gina Marano Max Costa Michael Meier

We had a wonderful two days talking science with our colleagues from Global Change Research Group – CULS Prague Thank you for visiting us! Tomáš Hlásny Laura Dobor Nick Schafstall, PhD Marco Baldo etc! More soon!

The Schweizerische Gebirgswaldpflegegruppe (GWG) experts met for a three-day conference in the Canton of Graubünden to discuss the key challenges posed by climate change to the protection forest in the region #forclim

Two posters from Gina Marano and Max Costa (2/6)

And four oral presentations from Max Costa Gina Marano @olalla Ulrike (4/6)

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to present my research #drought #modelling #forestdynamics #forclim

A heartfelt thank you to #IUFRO2024 for the inspiring scientific insights, the incredible excursions, and the invaluable opportunities to collaborate across sectors. It was an honor to present my research to such a global audience #drought #treemortality #modelling Forest Ecology ETH
