Forest recovery success or failure? Remote sensing can help answer this question. Take a look at our new RSE paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.… Big thanks to my amazing co-authors @albaa_vs , @AnaStritih , @RupertSeidl and especially @corneliussenf for the great support!

Can we predict long-term forest recovery success using post-disturbance characteristics? 🛰️🌲Check out the latest paper, using spectral unmixing of Landsat/Sentinel2 data, brilliantly led by @_lisamandl !! doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.…

Introducing the latest European forest disturbance maps 🗺️🌲! They have been upgraded to detect multiple disturbance events per series & cause attribution workflow, now spanning 1985-2023 🎉. Read more about the maps here: forestpaths.eu/news/next-gene… #forest #forestdisturbancemaps

(1) Did you know that forest disturbances have caused losses between 52.4 Mm3 and 62.1 Mm3 of timber each year over the past 70 years 🌲? For this reason, ForestPaths is cooking up something exciting related to extending existing #forestdisturbance maps 👀👇

#Ecosystemservices are at risk from forest disturbances in Europe 💨🪳🔥Which ecosystem services are most at risk, where, and from which disturbances? Check it out👉onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111… Extremely happy to see this one out😁@edfm_tum @RupertSeidl

Delighted to be part of this amazing team and looking forward to the exciting journey ahead!🛰️

¿Es cierto que los pinos dan lugar a los peores incendios? ¿Son más inflamables que otras especies? No, pero para entender porqué, debemos conocer cómo propagan los incendios. Lo explicamos, en 119 segundos👇 #martesForestales

Huge diversity in disturbance size and regeneration in West Germany. Great days with @KirstenKrg & @albaa_vs, also fighting with brambles, thistles and nettles 😄🌱🫣

In Spain, a drought turns the world’s largest olive oil producing region brown. NASA’s Terra satellite shows where green vegetation in May 2022 (left) turned brown by May 2023 (right). The drought dried up reservoirs, parched olive groves, and led to water restrictions.
