🙏 We want to thank each partner who joined this year's ForestPaths Annual General Meeting, both in-person and online, and for all their achievements in the past year!

While the AGM is over, we still have more work to do - with future results coming in hot in the next months 🤯

Forest recovery success or failure? Remote sensing can help answer this question. Take a look at our new RSE paper: https://t.co/00TSTBL9bS
Big thanks to my amazing co-authors @albaa_vs , @AnaStritih , @RupertSeidl and especially @corneliussenf for the great support!

[Alba Viana Soto @albaa_vs]

Can we predict long-term forest recovery success using post-disturbance characteristics? 🛰️🌲Check out the latest paper, using spectral unmixing of Landsat/Sentinel2 data, brilliantly led by @_lisamandl !! https://t.co/YjbGk5SHAO

Introducing the latest European forest disturbance maps 🗺️🌲!

They have been upgraded to detect multiple disturbance events per series & cause attribution workflow, now spanning 1985-2023 🎉.

(1) Did you know that forest disturbances have caused losses between 52.4 Mm3 and 62.1 Mm3 of timber each year over the past 70 years 🌲?

For this reason, ForestPaths is cooking up something exciting related to extending existing #forestdisturbance maps 👀👇

¿Es cierto que los pinos dan lugar a los peores incendios? ¿Son más inflamables que otras especies?

No, pero para entender porqué, debemos conocer cómo propagan los incendios.

Huge diversity in disturbance size and regeneration in West Germany. Great days with @KirstenKrg & @albaa_vs, also fighting with brambles, thistles and nettles 😄🌱🫣

In Spain, a drought turns the world’s largest olive oil producing region brown.

NASA’s Terra satellite shows where green vegetation in May 2022 (left) turned brown by May 2023 (right). The drought dried up reservoirs, parched olive groves, and led to water restrictions.
