Observed the ARES mission today from the ground in La Massane, France. 🛩️🌳 Calibration measurements are done and more really cool ground data to be collected in the next days here! @spatialgenetics.bsky.social

🌍🌳 Using Sentinel 2- data, we showed that Swiss forests with higher functional diversity resist & recover better from drought! A step toward scaling BEF insights to real-world forests! Check out our new publication in GCB by @helfenstein.earth et al. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Satellite Observations Reveal a Positive Relationship Between Trait‐Based Diversity and Drought Response in Temperate Forests

The relationship between functional diversity (richness, evenness) and drought response (resistance, recovery, resilience) during the severe 2018 drought in Switzerland was analyzed using satellite-d...

Check out our most recent publication in @globalchangebio.bsky.social. 🌳🌍🛰️ Sentinel-2 data revealed that forests with greater canopy trait diversity showed higher resistance and resilience to the drought of 2018 in non-experimental forest ecosystems at landscape scales. 📄 doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70059

🚀 The Genes from Space team recently hosted a workshop in Bern with over 100 participants (!!) joining to learn about our new monitoring tool. It enables users to use space-based Earth observation data to assess habitat suitability and estimate key genetic diversity metrics worldwide🌍
