Apparently I have become old enough to be a senior author of a scientific paper 😉 Anyway, it was amazing to work with such invaluable data - long term forest research plots throughout Europe. #forestgrowth #climate nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

Excited to share that I am now subject editor for the new subject “Tree Pathology, Invasive Pests and Pathogens” for the #EuropeanJournalOfForestResearch – maybe interesting for some of you regarding your next manuscript? #forestpathology #fungi #pests

Forest fertilization experiments may seem outdated. But actually, if revisited, they can provide insights about how forest dynamics are influenced by environmental change. Recently published in @Forestry_OUP: academic.oup.com/forestry/ad…

Fertilization modifies forest stand growth but not stand density: consequences for modelling stand...

Abstract. Knowledge of the maximum forest stand density and the self-thinning process is important for understanding, modelling and scheduling thinnings in

Kind of cumbersome equation ... f(z) = log(sin(pi*sin((z - 2)*(z 1i)/(z 2 -1i/2))))^1i ... but what a strange beauty if you let it show off! Check out my R package viscomplexr. peterbiber.github.io/viscomp… #rstats #CRAN #math #visualization

Mourn James Randi, world class magician, good-humoured nemesis of spoonbenders, spiritualists & other charlatans: mediocre conjurors who pretend to be something more & exploit the gullible to make a fat living from their fake “powers”. First winner of the Richard Dawkins Award.
