A unifying framework for studying and managing climate-driven rates of ecological change
During the Anthropocene and other eras of rapidly changing climates, rates of change of
ecological systems can be described as fast, slow or abrupt. Fast ecological responses …

Earth observation based monitoring of forests in Germany: a review
Forests in Germany cover around 11.4 million hectares and, thus, a share of 32% of
Germany's surface area. Therefore, forests shape the character of the country's cultural …
