Swiss stone pine (Pinus cembra) trees can be tricky to identify on aerial images, we went to get some ground truth in Germany's largest contiguous occurence of the species #BerchtesgadenNationalPark.

Rise and shine - wildlife census at #BerchtesgadenNationalPark

Great day in the field with Michael Maroschek and Rupert Seidl scouting a site to stablish our #snow removal and #herbivory exclusion #experiment at #Berchtesgaden National Park. I'm really excited to start with the preparations!

In the field this week in beautiful #BerchtesgadenNationalPark with @corneliussenf @dominikthom1 and Michael Maroschek. Worked on amending our large scale forest dynamics plots by doing light measurements and installing microclimate loggers.

You want to make a PhD in forest ecology and conservation? We are looking for a person with a strong interest in biodiversity to study differences in insect and fungal communities between forest reserves in Bavaria differing in size and time since designation.

What a great finale of the #IMC2022 - excursion with members of the treeline sessions to Mt. Patscherkofel. Feat. @lisageres,@EstFrei, Johanna Toivonen, Susanna Venn, Emma Sumner and others

From the snowy top to the still green forests at the bottom - hat a great #fded excursion in #BerchtesgadenNationalPark

We had our annual retreat at Ötztal in the Central Alps. Two days full of science, hiking and a lot of fun with great colleagues.

Nothing is better than spending a wonderful day in the mountains with great people. We had our group retreat with Ecosystem Dynamics and Forest Management TU Munich & #BerchtesgadenNationalPark in the beautiful Ötztal Alps, Tyrol, Austria

Talking science while snowshoeing through the winter wonderland of Berchtesgaden National Park with @tommaso_jucker, @KirstenKrg and Michael Maroschek today. Great company and breathtaking landscapes: I couldn't think of a more inspiring setting for developing new ideas!

A peek into the natural forest disturbance regime of the European Alps. We analyzed disturbance patch sizes and frequencies in 12 protected areas. Super stoked, big thanks to @corneliussenf, Rupert Seidl, and Ben Poschlod onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jb…

We have started the second leg of our snow-herbivory experiment this week. Approx. 200 tons / 400 m³ of snow moved from 500 seedlings. Great team effort by folks from Ecosystem Dynamics and Forest Management TU Munich and #BerchtesgadenNationalPark, Miguel Muñoz Mazon Michael Maroschek @_tobiasrichter @NicoleDrr1 and many others
