We had to change our summer retreat plans due to bad weather but Munichs technical museum was a great alternative. They even have a stuffed spy pigeon on display!

I am honoured!

Cornelius Senf @corneliussenf.bsky.social · Jul 22

What a defense! Very well done @lisa-mandl.bsky.social! A a special day for me, as Lisa was my first ever PhD student as a prof. I think I was equally nervous beforehand 😅

Probably less/no salvage logging. We controlled for species composition. There was no planned harvest included, only unplanned in response to or natural disturbances directly.

Rupert Seidl @rupertseidl.bsky.social · Mar 26

Natural disturbances are often invoked as an argument against creating new forest reserves. But are reserves more affected by disturbances than managed forests? For C Europe the answer is no, in fact reserves have lower disturbance rate & severity than managed forests! doi.org/10.1111/1365...

Strengthening European Forest Monitoring with Earth Observation! 🌍

📣PNAS piece led by @philrufin.bsky.social: commercial very-high-resolution EO data is needed for monitoring SDG 2 indicators in smallholder landscapes but costs are prohibitive. A call for open access for sustainability-centered research: doi.org/10.1073/pnas... @humboldtuni.bsky.social

$A drone capture of a smallholder farming landscape. Overlaid are squares of the size of typical optical satellite missions. Openly accessible data (e.g. Landsat or Sentinel-2) is often not sufficient to capture the landscape complexity in full detail, for example when trying to delineate individual fields. Here, one Landsat pixel contains fractions of multiple fields. Commercial data come at higher spatial resolution, offering potential to discriminate indivudual landscape components.$

Another example of how our European forest disturbance data can be integrated in conservation research: colleagues from @au.dk (Aarhus Uni) mapped high conservation value forests in Denmark and analysed the rates of disturbance therein (very low!):

conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Example of disturbance (including management) detected since 2015 for the Mols Bjerge Region in Eastern Jutland based on the disturbance masks provided by Senf and Seidl (2021). The two top panels show an orthophoto from summer 2014 without annotation (top-left) and with the projected forest conservation value superimposed (top-right). Light green indicates a potential high conservation value and rust indicates a potentially low conservation value. The bottom panels show an orthophoto from spring 2021 without annotations (bottom-left) and with annotation of the areas detected as disturbed between 2015 and 2020 (bottom-right). Disturbed polygons are indicated in purple. Orthophotos provided by Styrelsen for Dataforsyning og Effektivisering (2022).

Predicted locations of high and low conservation value forests across the whole of Denmark (map on left) and for the Frederiksdal region (panels on right)—not accounting for disturbance. The upper right panel depicts an orthophoto of the Frederiksdal region (summer 2014); the lower right panel shows the same orthophoto with the forest conservation value projections overlain on top. Orthophotos provided by Styrelsen for Dataforsyning og Effektivisering (2022).
