How does forest definition affect the quantification of disturbance regimes from satellite products? Quite a bit in some ecoregions! Check out this paper by @NAcil_research @Wild_inBrum @TomPughLab
A belated tweet to share our contribution for the #WFCKorea on the implication of forest definition for quantifying disturbance regime characteristics in Mediterranean forests @TomPughLab @Wild_inBrum Paper: drive.google.com/file/d/1waE… Contribution page: programme.wfc2021korea.org/e…

Never gave a talk which had to take a break due to fire-alarm. Luckily a flase alarm. Thanks to Philipp Porada from @unihh for letting me present our work, also done by Phillip Papastefanou @daijunliu @nanimuelbert @TomPughLab @anjarammig #ecology #traits @BECC @treemort_ERC

Productivity increases as a driver of the increasing canopy mortality rate trend in European forests over 1985-2010. New paper led by Marieke Scheel coming out of her @lunduniversity bachelor's thesis @sussesu @becc_sweden @TreeMort_ERC @ERC_Research iopscience.iop.org/article/1… (1/n)

Congratulations to @NAcil_research who submitted her PhD thesis on Friday after 4 years of really dedicated work!! A really impressive assessment of how forest disturbance rates and patterns vary across the globe @TreeMort_ERC @Wild_inBrum @sussesu @corneliussenf @BIFoRUoB

*How* do we know tropical forests soak up carbon and help tackle the #climatecrisis? 1000s of people measuring tree growth & death, in 1000s of plots - for many, many years! @juliapgjones 2021 Top 10 Science Stories @guardian theguardian.com/science/2021…

If you're interested in European forests from a policy or scientific direction, please do fill in this survey - it's aimed at improved European monitoring information.
European Forest Information Network - #EFINET looks at ways to bring available remote sensing resources into pan-European forest information products. Take part in their survey and share what you would expect from a European forest monitoring system: forms.gle/QR98DeooRZWunjnWA

Short explainer on how stopping deforestation is needed to help hit the 1.5° target by @TomPughLab. @BIFoRUoB
As part of its push for a deal at #COP26, the UK government is expected to announce a plan to 'halt and reverse' global deforestation by 2030 An expert explains just how much would this help limit global warming ⬇️🧵

After 18 months of zoom calls, fantastic to get together for a @TreeMort_ERC and friends writing retreat, great discussions and some very on-brand pumpkin carving! Thanks @nanimuelbert @NAcil_research @daijunliu @J_astigarraga @Phillip_Papa @AnneHEckes @TweetSijeh @sussesu !

Did harvested area in Europe increase by 49% in 2016-18 vs 2011-15 as estimated by Ceccherini et al. in @nature last year? In this response we argue *no* and revised estimates and clarification from the authors support a much more nuanced interpretation nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
