Acceleration

“In 2015 our projected deadline for reaching 1.5°C was 27 years away. Now that threshold is only 4 years away – 23 years closer. This striking change suggests that global warming has accelerated quickly in recent years.”

Our analysis of 23 years of satellite data (2001-2023) 🛰️ across Europe's major mountain ranges 🏔️ reveals that global change🥵 is driving elevation-dependent phenological shifts 📈—but these changes don't translate straightforwardly into productivity gains☘️🍀.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Seven years of Sentinel-2 data reveal how Alpine forests respond to extreme events 🥵🥶. Late spring frost damaged mid-elevation beech, while hot drought stressed low-elevation oaks but benefited high-elevation species. Elevation matters for climate resilience🏔️. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Last year, our Forest Ecology group undertook the modeling of current and future distributions of forest tree species 🌲 🌳 in the Province of Trento at a management-relevant scale. Pending manuscript publication🤞, we released scripts, maps, and Damiano's MS thesis at UNIPD zenodo.org/records/17209032

The best set of conferences I have been lucky to attend in 2016 & 2019 but sadly missed 2023 😢

I highly & warmly recommend it if you are into biodiversity redistribution & range dynamics in response to global change drivers

🚨 Stat tips 🚨

Are you aware of the regression to the mean #RTM effect?

This artefact is often overlooked in #ecology & especially in biodiversity resurveys 🌳🍄🦔🦅🦎🦋🐝🐞 It basically shows up each time you investigate changes between 2 time events: t2 vs t1

Let me unfold it for you 🧵

Setting forests aside doesn’t stir up more trouble—in fact, it calms the chaos 🌳
Happy to see my first PhD chapter out! 📝
Setting aside forests for biodiversity conservation does NOT amplify disturbances in temperate forests of Central Europe.
