We have a new paper out on the limited early-industrial warming and strong volcanic effect on temperatures in the Caucasus based on the first maximum temperature reconstruction from tree-ring maximum density for this region cp.copernicus.org/articles/22/...

New paper where we assess how reliable estimates of aboveground biomass from tree rings are compared to permanent monitoring plots in forests where management interventions affect dynamics and growth #ForestEcology #ForestManagement #Management doi.org/10.1016/j.fo...

In Mediterranean pine reforestation, trees acclimate to warming and drought by shifting carbon below ground aka optimal partitioning theory. New paper @jappliedecology.bsky.social lead by @ajpelu.bsky.social using #RemoteSensing and #dendroecology doi.org/10.1111/1365...

This week, we remeasured Pinus halepensis permanent plots for the 8th time since 1965. Some plots have been logged following regular #forest management in the area, but most are still standing #FieldPhotoFriday

This is probably the largest mushroom I've ever seen. Yellow notebook scale is 20cm. I guess it is some type of puffball. In the Javakheti plateau of Georgia.

Finally we got permits and a chance to install a weather station our monitoring sites. Its first records will be from this unusual winter heatwave ☀️📈

We finally got some snow in the Sierra de Guadarrama, near Madrid. Let's hope it's just the beginning of a decent snow season

Visit to our mixed Mediterranean forest monitoring site to downloading data from point dedrometers and soil moisture sensors. After a rather rainy Autumn, the site is much greener and wetter that it has been for a long time. How will trees benefit from this extra moisture? #FieldPhotoFriday
