Great news for our (future) forests!! 🎉🌳🌲💚
Unbelievable 🎉 - We have a New Cluster of Excellence - 🌳 #FutureForests🌲 Looking forward to working with the amazing interdisciplinary team of #FutureForests on analysing and developing transformation pathways for forest-based social-ecological systems!!! Great 7 years ahead @uni-freiburg.de!!!
A strange feeling seeing me and @mixedforests.bsky.social on television🫣 but I'm glad we're reaching a broader public with our research on the impact of forest dieback on drinking water protection areas 🍂💧🍂
@carowinter.bsky.social recently appeared on SWR to talk about her new paper on how forest dieback from drought is threatening groundwater quality in Germany. A must-watch segment on the hidden risks to our drinking water. Catch her at 14:59 into the video → www.ardmediathek.de/video/swr-ak...
#Waldsterben führt zu einer Verschlechterung der #Trinkwasserqualität, zeigt eine neue Studie der #UniFreiburg. Denn 43 Prozent der deutschen #Wasserschutzgebiete sind bewaldet – dort haben sich die #Nitratwerte im #Grundwasser verdoppelt, wenn viele Bäume abstarben. ufr.link/waldsterben-trinkwasser
Find us at EGU 🤓 I will talk about our paper published today on the hidden threat of forest dieback to drinking water quality 🍂💙
Excited to share our research at this year’s #EGU25 next week— from forest water fluxes to flood mapping and groundwater stressors. Thanks to @carowinter.bsky.social for pulling together our schedule! Come find us if you’re curious, collaborative, or just passing by.
