🇨🇿🌲 Update: Drought stress is now dominating Czech forests. ~60% of stands are under high or extreme stress, +33% above average, and <10% remain relatively unaffected. ⚠️Trees are entering the growing season already weakened—impacting vitality, production, and regeneration.
🌲 Jak sledovat vitalitu a růstové procesy lesů téměř v reálném čase? Odpovědi přináší Jan Krejza z @czechglobe_offi v rozhovoru pro @CRozhlas. Poslechněte si více! 🎙️

🌡️ A heatwave swept Czech forests last week (11–17 Aug). According to #DendroNetwork monitoring, many sites reached >30 °C for several days in a row. Extremes arrive at the second part of the growing season, limiting tree growth, raising stress, and reminding us of climate risks.
📢New study in @FrontPlantSci compares image acquisition methods for quantitative #WoodAnatomy! We contributed to evaluating how various imaging techniques (surface scans, micro-sections, micro-CT) capture vessel characteristics in #TreeRings🌳

📢Spouštíme (@czechglobe_offi; @muni_ics) nový portál #DendroNetwork! Na https://t.co/TRHdxW1Imn každý den zveřejňujeme aktuální mapy vitality, produkce a stavu lesů v reálném čase. Data přímo z lesů📈- klíčová pro vitální lesy pro další generace.🌲➡️ @MarekVyborny@hladikpe
Tomorrow, we’re releasing a brand-new web portal showing real-time, country-scale data on tree growth, vitality, and key climatic factors measured directly within forest ecosystems. Discover the pulse of the forest with DendroNetwork! 🌲🔍 #DendroNetwork#ForestMonitoring
🌿The new growing season is here, but Czech forests face a challenge: dry air & water deficit in trees. Real-time data from #DendroNetwork shows conditions are far from ideal. 📊 Soon, you’ll be able to track forest health in real time on our new web portal! Stay tuned! #Forests
New study alert! 🚨
For the first time, together with @RS_CzechGlobe we compared two independent methods—in-situ data #DendroNetwork and remote sensing products @NASAEarth to assess productivity trends in spruce-dominated forests. Read more:https://t.co/IcGPhNwh7e @IOPenvironment
Thrilled to visit @jan_pisek & @xalekter and their team at @tartuobs @unitartu via a mobility project from @CzechAcademy & the Estonian Academy of Sciences! Using novel approaches to create 3D models of #spruce and #pine shoots for the #DART radiative transfer model!
📢💧🌲 Heavy rain alert! After weeks of drought, #CzechRepublic's forests are preparing for a period of heavy rain. Swipe to see the sharp contrast between last week's tree water deficits and the upcoming rainfall.⚠️From one extreme to the other. ⚠️ #ForestHealth#DendroNetwork
🔥🌲 Extreme heat alert! As daily temperatures exceed 30°C, #DendroNetwork data shows our forests facing rapid desiccation. #DendroNetwork reveals alarming Tree Water Deficits, a direct measure of decreasing tree vitality amid this heatwave. 🌡️ #ForestHealth#Heatwave
Our new paper is now available online! In collaboration with colleagues from @AaltoUniversity, we demonstrated the potential to accurately simulate forest canopy transmittance, opening new opportunities for further research in this area.
🌡️🌲2024 record in the Czech Republic! Forest temps peak at 37.2°C, showing severe high-temp stress via #DendroNetwork. The ecosystem station(Lanzhot) which is part of @ICOS_RI. Relief is expected this weekend with cooler temperatures and rain!🔥🌧️ #Heatwave#ForestMonitoring
🌡️🌲 Heatwave hits hard! With temperatures soaring above 30°C, Czech forests are under stress. Real-time #DendroNetwork data shows a sharp decrease in ecosystem vitality due to #drought. More hot days ahead! 🔥 #Heatwave#ForestMonitoring
Our TLS scanning campaign of #DendroNetwork sites with @SensingFUB and @RS_czechglobe, via an internship from @3DForEcoTech, has ended. 33 sites scanned and many challenges overcome. Looking forward to further collaboration with this amazing team!
🌡️🌲🇨🇿 Yesterday's heat broke records in our forest ecosystems, reaching over 35°C! These temperatures were recorded in real-time by #DendroNetwork, highlighting the critical role of forest biomonitoring in understanding #ClimateChange. Stay cool and informed!📊 #ForestMonitoring
🌧️🌲We are seeing a similar situation in Czech forests! Our #DendroNetwork monitoring system confirms an acute lack of water, especially in Bohemia. While Moravia and Silesia may be able to manage without further heavy rainfall for a while, every drop is still welcome in Bohemia!
🌲⚠️Real-time drought warning: Czech Republic's western forests under drought stress in spring! Despite a few rainy days🌧️, some regions quickly dried out again. Watch our GIF to see how the situation has developed over the past month. Stay tuned! #DendroNetwork#drought
🌡️Witness April's wild weather ride in 🇨🇿! With #DendroNetwork data showing a dramatic 22°C swing in a short time, it's a classic tale of April's unpredictability, heightened by climate change. From scorching highs to frosty lows, every extreme tells a story #ForestMonitoring
First #NetFor insights! Our study on Q. robur & F. angustifolia🌳 reveals key insights into species resilience under changing groundwater levels and climate 🌡️💧. Key implications for Central Europe floodplain forest management. Learn more: https://t.co/2vbyBp4WHg
