🌳Aufforstung ist wichtig und notwendig! Aber es dauert viele Jahrzehnte, bis ein Wald ausgewachsen ist. Um dem Klimawandel jetzt wirksam zu begegnen, müssen wir die Entwaldung eindämmen und unsere CO2-Emissionen drastisch reduzieren. spiegel.de/ausland/wald-als-… @derspiegel @UFZ_de
Forest modelling experts from Europe are currently discussing the perspectives of modelling @UFZ_de. Topics include droughts and forest management, remote sensing, AI, but also theory. Forest modelling helps us to understand the state of our forests and to study forest futures.

We integrated more than 100 million GEDI measurements into our forest model @FORMIND_de to study the structure and productivity of the #Amazon rainforest and found that the Amazon is no longer a large carbon sink due to deforestation @UFZ_de @GEDI_Knights

We had a great workshop "Perspectives of forest modeling" @UFZ_de with many interesting discussions. Many thanks to all participants. Our perspectives are also presented in our review paper: Tackling unresolved questions in forest ecology

It feels great to finally be in an in-person workshop again after more than two years (vaccination rate: 100%). Wonderful discussions on the future of forest modeling, and many great interactions with colleagues. Thanks for organizing @Rico_Fischer_ @BohnFriedrich @FORMIND_de!

Dramatic increase in critical forest edge area of #tropical #forests with negative consequences for the global carbon cycle and landscape connectivity.
New study out in Science Advances. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
@UFZ_de @FORMIND_de
It all started with a @FORMIND_de #simulation to study the effects of increased tree mortality in the forest edge. Now we have a tropical-wide analysis. Up to 500 million tons of carbon emissions every year in tropical forest edge areas
