The X-account of the European Forest Condition Monitor will not be operated any longer. Instead, we will post news on our bluesky-account @forestmonitoring.bluesky.social, like the major update of our interactive app which combines forest monitoring and tree-species projections.

Thrilled to announce our new paper on #eu #forest policy in @GlobalChangeBio . Achieving #climate and #nature conservation targets without addressing increasing #wood demands will be highly difficult. Read here: doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17431 Project: linkedin.com/company/3for-pr…

Reconciling the EU forest, biodiversity, and climate strategies

Using vegetation modeling and robust multi-criteria optimization, we developed management portfolios for multi-functional, climate-resilient forests in Europe. Including constraints on stable...

After the dry early summer, the forest canopy condition reached a negative record beginning of July but largely improved until end of July due to wetter conditions. #ForestCondition (left: quantiles, right: proportions) More info: shorturl.at/hoIQ9

Beginning of July, the #ForestCondition Monitor showed a stark increase in lowest quantiles, likely as a result of ongoing drought in that period. It'll be interesting to analyze canopy changes in July after repeated rainfall ended the #drought.

In mid June, forest canopy greenness declined in many parts of Germany due to emerging drought conditions. In particular, the Thüringer Wald, the Schwarzwald, the Eifel, and the majority of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg were characterized by low canopy greenness #forestcondition

The late phenology as observed over the cool and wet spring period seems to catch in May as indicated by a reduction of low quantiles. Studying the development of #ForestCondition 2023 over the next weeks will be interesting due to increasingly drier conditions. #climatechange

The #ForestConditionMonitor season 2023 has started with relatively low quantiles in several parts of Germany. However, this might be caused by the relatively cool and moist spring conditions, which have delayed #phenology and the onset of the growing season. #climatechange

After a record summer with respect to canopy greenness decline, the situation is slowly improving, yet extreme. #ForestConditionMonitor #climatechange (left: quantiles, right: proportions) More info: bit.ly/38Tjx2u

Die Daten von @ForestCondition haben noch nie so deutliche Schäden gezeigt, wie in diesem Sommer. Wir haben mit Experten über die Folgen der #Dürre gesprochen: Der Wald wird zwar nie mehr so, wie wir ihn kennen – aber kluges Waldmanagement hilft. (€) bit.ly/3DXo94P

Weniger lebendig waren deutsche Bäume nie. Seit Jahren beobachten Fachleute von @ForestCondition die #Wälder aus dem All. Daten aus dem Sommer 2022 zeigen das Ausmaß der Dürre deutlicher als je zuvor. Hier sehen Sie, wie die Lage in Ihrer Region ist. zeit.de/wissen/umwelt/2022-0…

Zustand des deutschen Waldes: Letzte Chance, den Wald wiederzubeleben

Die Dürreschäden der Wälder waren nie sichtbarer. Ein Viertel verliert im Klimastress rasant an Vitalität. Die Alarmstufe ist rot. Wie stark ist Ihre Region betroffen?

The recent development of the #ForestCondition Monitor (current state July 4th) indicates a thrice as large area (in total 18,000 km² corresponding to roughly 1/6 of forest area in Germany) to feature lowest quantiles in comparison to same period in 2018 (see fig.). #Drought2022

Moreover, it now seems that in contrast to earlier in the season of 2022 (#forests in southern Germany were less affected) #drought -effects are observed everywhere. Since the drought severity increased since July 4th, it seems likely that the situation will worsen.
