Calling on all forest disturbance experts: Please consider contributing to our study on global forest disturbance change, and help resolve the nuances of changing forest disturbance regimes. More details and survey here: www.lss.ls.tum.de/edfm/disturb...

Africa’s forests transformed from carbon sink to carbon source, study finds

African forests have shifted from carbon sink to source www.nature.com/articles/s41... #carbon #forests #biomass #EarthObservation

It was an enriching experience to take part in #COP30 from within the Blue Zone as an @nceoscience.bsky.social and University of Leicester delegate. Thanks to Heiko, Frank, the Institute for Environmental Futures and @esa.int for organising the biomass-related events and supporting my participation!

It's out today🚨 -- Thanks to @iris-hordijk.bsky.social for leading this paper! 👇

New study @nature.com shows increasing reflectance of sunlight by the land surface due to #climate change over past 2 decades: doi.org/10.1038/s415... This is in stark contrast with changes over oceans where clouds are becoming less reflective, leading to greater heating: doi.org/10.1088/1748...

New paper published New Phytologist. We quantified globl shrubland sensitivity to climate change and nitrogen addition. @globalecounit.bsky.social @tompugh.bsky.social @n-acil.bsky.social @xdomene.bsky.social @franzessl1.bsky.social @newphyt.bsky.social nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Congratulations Daijun! Nice to see this paper published! Thank you for your perseverance!

📖Published📖 Addressing the need for improved tree species classification, Puliti et al. present the FOR-species20K dataset, a large, diverse, individual tree point cloud DL-ready benchmark dataset for platform and sensor agnostic tree species classification tasks 🌳 🌎 🧪 https://buff.ly/4hI7P8F

🚀 Milestone achieved for @esa.int #BIOMASS mission! the satellite has fully deployed its 12m antenna! First to use P-band radar in orbit, BIOMASS will help us better understand forest carbon and the global carbon cycle🌳 #EarthObservation #Climate #Forests @space4climate.bsky.social

ESA's #BIOMASS satellite launches today! Using radar, it will measure forest mass, track carbon storage, and help scientists monitor climate change. You can watch the launch live on ESA Web TV from 10:00AM (BST). #SpaceForClimate #EarthObservation #ClimateAction #NCEO

Working on #biodiversity and planning to attend #EGU25? Consider submitting your abstract to our session ITS3.12/BG0.8 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio... convened by @daijunliu.bsky.social Deadlines: 15 Jan 2025, 13:00 CET

How are disturbances shaped across the world’s #forests and how are humans influencing these patterns? We built a global map of forest disturbance structures to explore these questions. Check out my first paper in Nature Sustainability @natureportfolio.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
