Marco Patacca @marcopath.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Disturbances are projected to increase across the century in European forests because of climate-change 🔥🌬️🪲 This comes with challenges and opportunities 🪵🌱 Have a look at our massive new research greatly led by Marc Grünig, Werner Rammer & @rupertseidl.bsky.social 👇 031
Reposted by Marco PataccaRupert Seidl @rupertseidl.bsky.social · 05/03/2026The future of Europe’s forest disturbance regimes– a thread. Tl, dr: Disturbances from wildfire, bark beetles & wind will continue to increase in the coming decades. Under unabated climate change disturbances could more than double by 2100. New paper out in @science.org doi.org/10.1126/scie... 07947
Marco Patacca @marcopath.bsky.social · 13/02/2026We expect climate change to affect fire regimes in Europe 🔥but how will those changes impact forest vegetation? 🌲 This is still poorly understood, especially in regions not commonly subject to fires yet We explored this question in the freshly published chapter of my PhD Follow up in the comments 👇lnkd.inClimate-driven increases in wildfire projected to affect European forest types differentlyClimate-driven increases in wildfire projected to affect European forest types differently, Patacca, Marco, Grünig, Marc, Schelhaas, Mart-Jan, Alberdi, Iciar, Filipek, Sara, Fridman, Jonas, Järvikylä,... 140

Marco Patacca @marcopath.bsky.social · 21/08/2025All climate projections do not show any mercy in predicting future wildfires seasons in Europe. Forest management can play a major role in mitigating the large negative consequences of fires, but planning and prevention is crucial. 020

Marco Patacca @marcopath.bsky.social · 04/04/2025Publishers ask science to pay for their services, and then sell the very same work they didn’t pay anything for to AI companies for million of dollars ?! I find this so wrong on so many levels.. and a real threat to science itself! Is it only me? www.nature.com/articles/d41...nature.comPublishers are selling papers to train AIs — and making millions of dollarsGenerative-AI models require massive amounts of data — scholarly publishers are licensing their content to train them. 040
Marco Patacca @marcopath.bsky.social · 06/03/20256 year ago I spent 5 months sampling leaves in Ivory Coast. That was my MSc thesis, I would have never though back then that this work would have ended up in Nature! Greatly led by @jeaggu.bsky.social!! 161
