Insights 3: Disturbance change impacts Europe’s forest demography, reducing the share of old forests and increasing the share of young forests on the landscape. This could have profound implications for ecosystem services and biodiversity, and needs to be accounted for in forest policy. (6/10)

Insight 2: Fire is the main driver of increasing future disturbance, and the Mediterranean is particularly affected. However, future disturbance hotspots emerged across biomes, from Finland to Germany and Spain, in our simulations. Disturbance change is thus a challenge at the European scale. (5/10)

Insight 1: In the coming decades, disturbances will continue to increase regardless of emissions pathway. If we effectively reduce emissions, we reach peak disturbance by mid century with declines thereafter. If emissions continue unabated, however, disturbances will continue to soar. (4/10)
