Happy to repost this study led by TUM. We really should be concerned about increasing forest disturbances in Europe. The focus should be put next to developing resilient and adaptive forest management options. Great work Marc, Rupert et al. @luke.fi

New paper! 📃🌲 #ForwardsEU team at @luke.fi recently published a new paper researching how plot size and the rarity of old-growth forests affect the resulting accuracy associated with the remote sensing mapping of old-growth forests. Find the paper at: cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/...

Realistic models of the potential for global reforestation suggest that it could absorb roughly 5% of human CO2 emissions. This is still worthwhile but nowhere near a solution on its own. New paper just published 🧪🌏🌐

Addressing critiques refines global estimates of reforestation potential for climate change mitigation - Nature Communications
Reforestation is a key climate change mitigation strategy, but global maps of its potential are widely criticized. This study shows that addressing those critiques substantially refines estimates of t...
