We coupled forest growth, disturbance and economic models to simulate the interaction of forest productivity and disturbances under climate change… and there are big differences across Europe with C Europe being a particular hotspot of disturbance losses.

How expensive are 🪲💨🔥?! I can‘t believe it, but my 2nd PhD paper is finally published @natclimate.nature.com! Disturbances lower the economic value of Europes 🌲 by 29%... Climate change will increase it to up to 42%! (Now imagine a company looses 42% of its value…) doi.org/10.1038/s41558-025-02408-9

#SmartForest2025 started with a full house and a fantastic key note of @rupertseidl.bsky.social! Looking forward to all the discussions in the next days

The last signs are in place, and we're super excited for our #SmartForest2025 conference. Over the next two days, we'll discuss new smart tools and technologies to support forest science and management with both researchers and practitioners. Stay tuned and reach out if you're joining!🥳
