New paper by Wout Cherlet of @qforestlab.bsky.social with very valuable insights into tree instance segmentation including one of our intensive measurement sites in #Berchtesgaden National Park 🌳✂️🌲

Co-authored by @hanzlan.bsky.social and @corneliussenf.bsky.social.

Greetings from the #LPS in Vienna! Tomorrow's the last and the hottest (at least for us) day at the conference: a talk by @albavianasoto.bsky.social and posters by a lot of PhD students! Do not miss the chance to connect ;)

🎓 Come work with us!
We are offering a new PhD position in our lab! You will study the impacts of forest disturbance and fragmentation on microclimate and forest regeneration, together with @katjakowalski.bsky.social.
Applicants from diverse backgrounds encouraged!

This year, we have only a small - but mighty - presence at the @egu.eu annual conference. Come spark some tree-mendous ideas with our doctoral researcher Brittany Engle @englebritt.bsky.social who will present results of her work on mapping lightning-ignited boreal wildfires! ⚡️🔥🌲

And just another example of using our European disturbance dataset. Susanne Suvanto @ssuvanto.bsky.social analysed forest harvesting regimes in Europe and assessed the importance of socioeconomic factors and disturbances for harvest intensity.

Another example of how our European forest disturbance data can be integrated in conservation research: colleagues from @au.dk (Aarhus Uni) mapped high conservation value forests in Denmark and analysed the rates of disturbance therein (very low!):

conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Example of disturbance (including management) detected since 2015 for the Mols Bjerge Region in Eastern Jutland based on the disturbance masks provided by Senf and Seidl (2021). The two top panels show an orthophoto from summer 2014 without annotation (top-left) and with the projected forest conservation value superimposed (top-right). Light green indicates a potential high conservation value and rust indicates a potentially low conservation value. The bottom panels show an orthophoto from spring 2021 without annotations (bottom-left) and with annotation of the areas detected as disturbed between 2015 and 2020 (bottom-right). Disturbed polygons are indicated in purple. Orthophotos provided by Styrelsen for Dataforsyning og Effektivisering (2022). Predicted locations of high and low conservation value forests across the whole of Denmark (map on left) and for the Frederiksdal region (panels on right)—not accounting for disturbance. The upper right panel depicts an orthophoto of the Frederiksdal region (summer 2014); the lower right panel shows the same orthophoto with the forest conservation value projections overlain on top.

In a new paper, Anne Graser from University of Göttingen @consbiogoe.bsky.social used our European disturbance map to understand disturbance and post-disturbance management impact on bird communities in Central Europe: doi.org/10.1111/1365...
Predicted density of 37 bird species modelled via community distance sampling for years since disturbance. Red-listed species are shown with a red-bordered header box. Coloured header boxes indicated the habitat affiliation: Green: forest, yellow: farmland/open land, white: several. Species for which the posterior checks did not indicate that the models are reliable are labelled n.r. (not reliable).

Welcome to the new BlueSky page of our group! Follow for updates on our research in many collaborative projects examining forest structure, disturbance and recovery - with the main focus on European temperate forests and a new direction exploring the Eurasian boreal biome!
