Many natural disturbances have a strong climate forcing, and concern is rising about how
ecosystems will respond to disturbance regimes to which they are not adapted. Novelty can …

Remote sensing techniques are increasingly used for studying ecosystem dynamics,
delivering spatially explicit information on the properties of Earth over large spatial and multi …

Forest ecosystems are strongly impacted by continuing climate change and increasing
disturbance activity, but how forest dynamics will respond remains highly uncertain. Here …

Abstract Changes in forest disturbances can have strong impacts on forests, yet we lack
consistent data on Europe's forest disturbance regimes and their changes over time. Here …

The success and rate of forest regeneration has consequences for sustainable forest
management, climate change mitigation, and biodiversity, among others. Systematically …

European forests are among the most extensively studied ecosystems in the world, yet there
are still debates about their recent dynamics. We modeled the changes in tree canopy …

Bark beetle outbreaks have intensified in many forests around the globe in recent years. Yet,
the legacy of these disturbances for future forest development remains unclear. Bark beetle …

Aim Simulation models are important tools for quantifying the resilience (ie, persistence
under changed environmental conditions) of forest ecosystems to global change. We …

Aim Forest ecosystems around the globe are facing increasing natural and human
disturbances. Increasing disturbances can challenge forest resilience, that is, the capacity of …

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 …
