Last week attended to the #GlobalFireHub. Among many #fire #management topics, I've contributed to the discussion on restoration needs, which is far from being closed. More actions are needed especially in the EU.

🧟 Soil Fun Fact: Zombie carbon, or when the underground comes back to life!

Soil holds more carbon than all plants + the atmosphere, but when disturbed, some of it “rises from the dead” as CO₂!

Jane was always my idol, and her passing deeply saddens me.
I remember rewatching documentaries about her life, always struck by her kindness. What impressed me most was her sense of calm, something that seemed to sustain her as she pursued a rewarding life dedicated to activism.

Sequoia sempervirens (redwood; world's tallest tree) is well adapted to high-intensity crown fires (eg 2020), but Sequoiadendron giganteum (giant sequoia; world's most massive tree) is adapted to surface fires only!

The end of a cycle. Rita defended the PhD yesterday, and as a proud supervisor I just say "my job here is done!"
This world needs more people like Rita, committed, with perseverance and loads of patience. As a plus she will solve all our problems transforming scientific findings in real actions.

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...
