Always happy to listen to inspiring talks and people, but one of the best things of being in forest (research) is, that we always take the time to look at our study objects 😉 Super diverse and interesting excursion to the Tyresta National Park 🏞️ 🔥 #IUFRO24

“Forestry isn’t rocket science, it is much more complicated” - I think it is a wrap! An exciting #IUFRO2024 where I got to catch up with my long-term conference buddy, hype my lab members at their amazing talks and finally met my favorite science communicator Dr. Tom Ovenden

I‘ve always admired Dr. Dr. Karamba Diaby and his courage and it’s especially sad to me to see one of the few people with a natural/ environmental science background in our parliament leave…

It is getting more practical! Ana Stritih assessed the risk of protective forests in the alps by distrubances. What surprised me the most: Over 40% of forests maintain their protective structure after disturbance!

Those crazy moments when I chilled 3 days in a remote Canadian cottage and finally feel the urge to read a paper - just because I really want to 🍁📖 #fieldworkPreperation

After a first hike in the Grand Teton NP and some (ongoing) hick ups to get the whole team on site, we are excited to hit the second field work season with Ecosystem Dynamics and Forest Management TU Munich tomorrow in #GrandTetonNationalPark

The countdown is running ⏰ After amazing views of the Teton Mountain Range, Sceleton forests and cruising the legendary Yellowstone National Park with the even more legendary Monica Turner, we are soon going to finish our plots in the Grand Teton 🏔️

It’s a wrap! Fieldwork in Grand Teton 2024 ✅ And what next? Other might chill, we hiked Mt St.John (3484 m) - what an amazing group to be with ⛰️ Thank you to Rupert Seidl and the whole Ecosystem Dynamics and Forest Management TU Munich team - it is a privilege to be part of this group!

See our new paper on how to determine when you need to collect more data ... surprisingly, more data often has little value for decisions ... our paper unravels the mystery as to why "Value of Information Analyses" often yield surprising results doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…

May I propose the concept of summer hibernation? It is especially prevelant among ecology research groups, who venture to the fields, conferences or vacation, while leaving their offices as empty as a squirrel’s winter stash! 🌳🐿️

How are landscapes with different forest disturbance regimes responding to climate change? Great first PhD paper by Christina Dollinger with a wonderful group of collaborators, out now in Global Change Biology. Made possible by European Research Council (ERC) doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17…
