๐ฟThe lab is glad to share a new paper, led by Daniela Dalmonech!
Mediterranean forests can look green and productive from satellite imagery, while trees are actually struggling to grow. Canopy greening masks hidden vulnerability under climate change. ๐ณ@ddalmo.bsky.social

New study published!
๐Climate change is reshaping European forests, conifers losing ground to broadleaved species. By the end of the century, dominant species could shift dramatically.
๐ณForests aren't just responding to climate change. They're being reshaped by it.

Not every day you get to share a paper published in @science.org . Yesterday โClimate change will increase forest disturbances in Europe throughout the 21st centuryโ was published. In short: wildfires, windstorms and insect outbreaks are projected to increase across Europe as the climate warms ๐๐ฒ
