When they lock you in an 🇮🇹 dungeon to write a paper... @CLEANFOREST

Sampling needle water potentials in #Norwayspruce at the Hurdal @icos-ri.eu site in #Norway. It's been a warm and dry start to the year so curious to see how the trees are doing 🤔🌲

One of the biggest challenges of working in a mature forest is sampling leaves from the canopy- view taken from 20m up in a #norwayspruce forest 😍 We are sampling for pigments and LeafPsi to document the warm and dry conditions in Norway. Credit to Mathias Amundsen for climbing 💪 and video

🪧Calling all researchers working with #dendrometers. The #NordicDendroNetwork is holding its first meeting 13-15 October in Norway. For more information and registration go to >>> shorturl.at/HqoFY

What others are out there? #dendrometers #howmanyistoomany #PREDICT

Europe's most northern beech forests can be found in South-Western Norway 🇳🇴. We are setting up some new monitoring sites of tree growth and drought stress in these beautiful forests #PREDICT #dendrometers @linenybakken.bsky.social

Spent the week installing #dendrometers and #climate sensors in southern Sweden where we are looking at the impacts of chronic drought on Spruce🌲 health, soil 🦠🍄‍🟫 and bark beetle🪲 attack. #sapflow and water potential tensiometers are coming next week! @Maartje klapwijk

It's beginning to look a lot like field season 🌲 First deployment of near-real time growth monitoring equipment ( #dendrometers ) happening next week. #PREDICT #BOREALNET #Norway

📣How have trees being living and dying in Europe over the last 30 years? If this question sounds interesting to you, we have FUNDED positions to work on this topic for 2-6 weeks in some fantastic places via #CLEANFOREST 💀🌲👶🌲
