The power of natural climate solutions! 🌴💪 1/2 land use carbon emissions in Southeast Asia can be mitigated through peat swamp and mangrove conservation/restoration New research from @sdsasmito @NUSgeog @TulaneSSE @SueSep5 @P_Taillardat @CathLovelock https://t.co/w5qJXyZ7es

New paper: Forest dynamics where typhoon winds blow. In Hong Kong, wind exposed forests are shorter and more uniform. Damage from Mangkhut, the strongest typhoon in 40 years, was higher in tall forests and plantations. @AlandHyc @CCI_Cambridge https://t.co/0QIh5YqSWC

Today we launch a database of 30+ ancient oaks 🌳 captured with #LiDAR For the tree 😍: https://t.co/TLSUYJzHi5 @Sketchfab For the tree 🧑‍🔬: https://t.co/rUq8Y7PYmB @ZENODO_ORG Funded by the @WoodlandTrust. With support from @AncientTreesATF

📢Data call! Your work could be the next dot on our global map! Join us in this🌍initiative to map tree species! Choose a license for your data and join us as a co-author. Together we can create a #universalmodel for #tree #species using #remotesensing #RGBI #deeplearning🌴🌳🌲

Windthrow activity in #Amazon forests is on the rise: Our PhD student J. David Urquiza‐Muñoz detected a nearly 4-fold increase in #windthrow number & affected area between 1985 & 2020. Just published in @AguAdvances @MPI_BGC @UniJena https://t.co/flo9dDGzFm

New paper‼️Do you study the impact of extreme events on forests?🌲💨 In our latest research, we reveal how forest height, density, structure, and topography influence wind damage in the Italian alpine forests during the 2018 Vaia windstorm🏔️. https://t.co/PLNk1E6BpF

Our Analysis-Ready PlanetScope product is now available! This harmonized dataset makes it even easier for AI applications to run on top of our satellite data.🛰️ Planet users can now spend less time formatting data and more time analyzing how their AOIs are actually changing!🧑‍💻🌍

Today, in @ScienceMagazine, we report that global CO2 #emissions from #forest fires have increased by 60%since 2001. Forest #fires have also shifted north and become more severe. https://t.co/RcpZdncXdX 🌍🔥 (1/11)

🚨 Paper alert! Do you work with global forest canopy height maps?🌲🌳 Check out our latest work led by Vítězslav Moudrý, comparing 3 global maps derived from @GEDI_Knights data🛰️ We found accuracy gaps that could impact biodiversity estimation https://t.co/XYfET2IBA7

Call for #RGBI data and expertise - deadline October 31! Your contribution counts! #DeepLearning #forestry #biodiversity monitoring

[4/4] If you’ve read this far, maybe you’d like to get involved? We’d like to install these sensors on trees all over the world. If you’re interested, please get in touch. All data will be open-access. Thanks to @NERCscience for funding!

[3/4] Instead, we found that wood density was the key factor. Low wood density species had much greater risk of wind-mortality than high wood density species. The exception was Anacardium excelsum, which was much 'safer' because of its thicker trunks.

[2/4] We measured trees across some steep topography, but surprisingly we found that wind exposure only weakly predicted wind mortality risk. This suggests the trees have adapted to their wind environment, perhaps by growing wider trunks or smaller crowns.

We’ve all seen how wind can change the shape of trees, but how does wind impact tropical forests? Our new paper answers that question using purpose-built sensors in Barro Colorado, Panama. [1/4] https://t.co/4bwpS5j0MB @stri_panama @CCI_Cambridge @BristolBioSci @NERCscience

2nd manuscript/paper I've seen this year that applies SEM to clearly non-independent variables in different boxes (elements of the population Variance-Covariance matrix) to 'causally explain' observed patterns. Rearranging deck-chairs won't stop the ship sinking. Please stop 🤦‍♂️
