Adaptive Forests

Researchers from the Faculty of Forestry, Technical University in Zvolen, Slovakia. Exploring, studying and writing about adaptive forest ecosystems.

🌲 Drought leaves a long-lasting mark on forests, and climate signals emerge from local noise. Our paper in Agric. For. Met. shows that Scots pine mortality is linked to past water deficits and that climate signals become clearer at broader spatial scales.https://t.co/vav8HMFMen

Our new study shows that the built–to–natural environment continuum affects the life satisfaction of the older adult population in Europe🇪🇺, and forest cover plays an important role! @DhanalakshmiTa3 @MagiPichler @HalajDaniel @SpringerNature

@ViliamPichler @SciReports @SpringerNature @MagiPichler @DhanalakshmiTa3 Perfect experimental design indeed!

[Viliam Pichler @ViliamPichler]

Our new paper https://t.co/PMKjje7EIA in @SciReports @SpringerNature gives evidence that forest walking reduces not only acute but also #ChronicStress☝️measured through #HairCortisol The experiment was unique since without soc. interaction effect @MagiPichler @DhanalakshmiTa3

Príjemný rozhovor v Slovenskom rozhlase o našom výskume benefitov pobytu v lesnom prostredí, ale aj o lesnom kúpeli 🌲🌳
Hosted by Slovak Radio and talking about our research w. @ViliamPichler on benefits of spending time in the forests, as well as about forest bathing 🌳🌲

The honor to accompany His Excellency Nigel Baker, the British Ambassador to Slovakia with @ViliamPichler

We appreciate the continuing support by @NigelMBaker1 & @UKinSlovakia to the protection and sustainable management of the Slovak natural and cultural legacy 🇸🇰🤝🇬🇧@ViliamPichler @MagiPichler @MHoleckova

Novoročným predsavzatím pána veľvyslanca @NigelMBaker1 bolo zopakovať si program jednej významnej návštevy spred 25 rokov.

Vtedy totiž 🇸🇰 navštívil princ Charles – dnes kráľ Karol III. a náš pán veľvyslanec, ktorý v tom čase pôsobil ako jeho osobný tajomník, ho sprevádzal.🤩 1/2

Thank you @PeterPetrk8 for taking the lead on this excellent piece of research. I've enjoyed being a part of it😎

Thinking about setting up a science-based, certified forest trail aimed at enhancing autonomic nervous system and cognitive function in older adults?#ForestTrail #HealthyAging #NatureTherapy 🌿@K2EkiawanL @MagiPichler @DhanalakshmiTa3

Also an interesting take on the modulation of the restorative effects of forests 🌲🌳 on the autonomic nervous system functioning 🙇by ambiental temperature ❄️☀️ @K2EkiawanL @MagiPichler @ViliamPichler

[Viliam Pichler @ViliamPichler]

Just 4 indiv. 40-min forest walks sign. improved autonomic nervous system functioning & 8 such walks improved cognitive function in 60+ adults. The study design removed confounding by relational restoration.

Soil organic carbon concentration in the subarctic forests of the Central Siberian Plateau (Putorana) has several key predictors: slope gradient, surface organic layer thickness, clay content and dithionite-extracted Al 🌏🌲🌲🌲

[Global Change Research Group – CULS Prague @GCRGculs]

New research! Forests inherently adapt to climate change. But what if selective foraging by ungulates disables these processes? How does it affect future disturbance dynamics, and where are the limits of resilience? https://t.co/BVfyKU3SXk

[Viliam Pichler @ViliamPichler]

A brand-new article on the effects of forest vs. urban individual walking on the autonomic nervous system and cognitive functions in older adults offers several novel and captivating insights. Congratulations @K2EkiawanL @DhanalakshmiTa3 @MagiPichler @FrontiersIn ! 👏😎

Today, our PhD student & #MSCA @RISEWELL ESR @DhanalakshmiTa3 successfully defended her PhD thesis on the effect of the environment & housing on the life satisfaction of older adults. Big congratulations Dhana 👏, & we wish U all success in your further endeavours! @MagiPichler

[Viliam Pichler @ViliamPichler]

The power of recollection-based research derives from the integration of multiple factors, which are at play in real-world forests, including #biophilia and #biophobia, #jouissance, #olfactory stimuli... Must be considered in the planning of nature & forests for human well-being.

[Robert Nasi @ForestsMatter]

Prioritizing protection of forests above 1000 meters & seasonally dry forest types could be important for preventing future 'savannization' of Asia's rainforests
