Dr. FOREST - Research on forest diversity affecting human health and well-being

[Dr Forest EU @eu_forest]

The final Dr.FOREST film depicts the research conducted in the past years & the ways in which forest biodiversity impacts human health: https://t.co/f4t5db3PR2 #biodiversity #forest #mentalhealth #forestdiversity #thermalcomfort #medicinalplants #airquality #forestmanagement

"Forest biodiversity and structure modulate human health benefits and risks" was published as a pre-print by the Dr.FOREST team and was lead-authored by Dr.Loic Gillerot, who pulled together the entire project's research outcomes in his PhD dissertation. Congratulations!

Why do forests matter? And why do forests with tree diversity matter? Dr.FOREST new video summarizing research results answers these questions.
Coming soon..stay tuned! #treediversity

#DYK Forests cover ~31% of Earth's land? That's billions of hectares!🌳

#Forests are vital for #biodiversity, climate & as ecosystems, but they're under pressure.

Every native tree counts to stop #BiodiversityLoss!

Though Dr.FOREST is officially done, the hard work lives on. E.g. the Freiburg trio's new paper on forests' structural heterogeneity and its positive effect on #birdrichness and #acousticdiversity in temperate, central European forests. https://t.co/1TBIeDl48f #treediversity

Modern life is such that less is usually more, but I would have really liked to have more opportunities for academia discussions w this stellar #DrForest team. Thank you for all the inspiring chats & to Michael Scherer-Lorenzen for your leadership @eu_forest

At yesterday's stakeholder event, Dr.FOREST researcher and doctoral student Loic Gillerot: "Forests can save lives during heat waves also in the future. But not all forests are the same".

@voguemagazine encourages everyone to try #forestbathing. But what is the effect of forest bathing in a #forest with more or less tree #diversity? We will soon get to read it in @PaN_BES, in an article submitted by Dr.FOREST's Kevin Rozario. https://t.co/YaoAHulX7B
