🌳Can forests show stress before damage is visible? Our research by @etomelleri.bsky.social @annacandotti.bsky.social and Henrik Hartmann found stem growth stopped before water transport declined in beetle infested Norway spruce. 🔗 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #JFR #ForestHealth #ForestResearch

Bark beetle predisposition assessed via EO 🛰️ in the eastern Alps. - NDWI was the most consistent predictor; downslope index and canopy structure (GEDI) added value. - Models transferred well across South Tyrol, supporting regional risk mapping. doi.org/10.1093/fore...
Five years after VAIA: – Norway spruce dominates regeneration (67%), but only 26% of plots meet targets. – Browsing affects 25% of seedlings, especially Rowan, Willow, and Silver fir. Management should promote species diversity and control browsing. doi.org/10.1016/j.fo...
