Overtourism und Klimakrise: Alpen unter Druck
NANO vom 25.09.: Skipisten oberhalb der Waldgrenzen können Lawinen auslösen. Die Bergidylle gerät aus dem Gleichgewicht. Können die Alpen dem Klimawandel trotzen?
Our research in the National Park Berchtesgaden - both in the field and in silico - was reported on by NANO.

Increasing tree growth could offset disturbance costs in northern Europe, but in southern Europe overall forest value is decreasing under moderate and severe climate change. Our results highlight that climate change adaptation in forestry is not only an ecological but also an economic imperative!

What is the cost of wildfire, windthrow and bark beetles for Europe’s forestry? We estimate that disturbances reduce Europe’s forest value by €115 bn, more than doubling to €247 bn under severe climate change. Led by @johannesmohr.bsky.social, out in @natclimate.nature.com doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Climate change increasingly alters the interactions between forest disturbances. Here we present a framework for quantifying dist. interactions and compile evidence for their impacts. Led by @dudney-joan.bsky.social with @brian-j-harvey.bsky.social & @julieedtree.bsky.social doi.org/10.1146/annu...

Good news for a change: Background mortality in unmanaged forests of Europe has not increased over past decades. Great work from the European Forest Reserve Initiative EuFoRIa, out in @journalofecology.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/1365...

Given the strong increase in forest disturbances, Europe urgently needs a concerted and harmonized forest damage monitoring program, argue @thlasny.bsky.social et al. in a new perspective paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.fo...

However, structurally complex forests increase with future disturbances. This suggests a decoupling of forest structure and demography in the 21st century. Great collaboration with @michaelmaroschek.bsky.social @wernerrammer.bsky.social @sebseibold.bsky.social and D. Thom (not on here).

Protected areas safeguard old-growth forests against human land use, but not against the impacts of anthropogenic climate change. Here we show that a climate-mediated increase in disturbances could cause a decline in old-growth forests in a national park in C Europe. doi.org/10.1088/1748...

Can we map species richness across taxonomic groups from space? Promising results for fungi, plants, insects and birds in a mountain forest landscape, obtained by @corneliussenf.bsky.social et al. by combining different sensors (EnMAP, Sentinel-1/2). doi.org/10.1016/j.ja...

Hunting strongly affects the habitat selection of red deer, particularly during daylight hours. This suggests that hunting can efficiently control habitat use, and underscores the value of protected areas w/o hunting to conserve the behavior of ungulates. Led by J. Eggers doi.org/10.1002/wlb3...

Several small reserves hold more beetle, spider and bird species than a single large reserve of the same size in Central Europe, with habitat heterogeneity being an important driver. First PhD paper by Anne Huber (not on Bsky), w/ @sebseibold.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...

Small protected areas are often more easy to install than large ones, but they have a high proportion of their area close to the boundary. Are there boundary effects for important indicators of biodiversity? Find out more here: doi.org/10.1016/j.bi.... First PhD paper of Aikio Erhardt (not on Bsky).

Indeed! Its quite a steep and rocky slope, so head protection is a good thing, particularly with a group of 20ish students!

Teaching a field-based class is a great way to discuss current challenges of forest management with students! Also a wonderful opportunity to connect with and learn from practitioners!

Canopy disturbances affect insect diversity via increased light availability and deadwood, but the effects of these two drivers on taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity differ. New insights from a replicated experiment, led by @juliarothacher.bsky.social @betafor.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/1365...

Hi @bingbongromcom.bsky.social and @brian-j-harvey.bsky.social, this is indeed an interesting question! Brian is right that we here have a wind & beetle regime, so effects on resilience differ from fire-driven regimes in US. We will in fact look at this in Kirstens next paper - so stay tuned!

We conclude that considerations of disturbance should not hinder the incorporation of reserves into the matrix of managed forests in C Europe. Great first PhD paper by @kirstenkrueger.bsky.social, with @corneliussenf.bsky.social and J. Hagge, in @jappliedecology.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/1365...
