π Behind the Paper: 'Forest disturbances in Europe could double by the end of the century.' π Provides the comprehensive assessment to date of how forest disturbances across the continent may evolve through 2100 under different climate scenarios.π bit.ly/3NnaviC @ale-collalti.bsky.social
Not every day you get to share a paper published in @science.org . Yesterday βClimate change will increase forest disturbances in Europe throughout the 21st centuryβ was published. In short: wildfires, windstorms and insect outbreaks are projected to increase across Europe as the climate warms ππ²
π²Climateβdriven shifts in competitive strength show declining dominance of evergreen conifers and rising competitiveness of broadleaved species across Europe. π³

The future of Europeβs forest disturbance regimesβ 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.

A new study shows that in Italian black pine forests, moderate thinning best balances wood production with key ecosystem services like carbon storage, soil protection & recreational value.

πClimate change is reshaping European forests, conifers losing ground to broadleaved species. By the end of the century, dominant species could shift dramatically.
π³Forests aren't just responding to climate change. They're being reshaped by it.
