We are the Professorship of Earth Observation for Ecosystem Management at the Technical University of Munich!
Our focus is on applying cutting edge remote sensing technologies to study forest ecosystems.

Last week, together with the University of Bayreuth easilabubt.bsky.social, we have started the fieldwork for the new T-EDGE project. We aim to deepen our understanding of the effect of disturbances on microclimate and regeneration in the forest interior.

New paper by @albavianasoto.bsky.social and @corneliussenf.bsky.social on forest reburns in southern Europe, published in Glob. Ecol. and Biogeography🌲🔥
Highlight: 30.1% of burned forest area experiencing multiple fire events since 1985.

New paper in collaboration with Thomas Knoke's group and led by Reyhaneh Farahani: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... We incorporate extreme disturbance events into and economic assessment and show that extreme disturbances can lead to significant economic losses.
New paper out!
In this collaboration with colleagues from Spain we show that Nature 2000 areas efficiently reduce harvest but not wildfire and drought disturbances.

Climate change and the increasing frequency of extreme disturbance events pose major challenges for sustainable forest management. Quantifying the eco…
Lower forest harvesting in Natura 2000 sites may align with socio-economic barriers often claimed by local communities, but protection does not influence vulnerability to other disturbances. In a gen....
New paper - and final PhD chapter of @lisa-mandl.bsky.social - published in Agricultural and Forest Meteorology. Using Landsat recovery and meteorological data, we show that thermal limitations constrain post-disturbance recovery success across forests of the European Alps: doi.org/10.1016/j.ag...
