Postdoctoral position in Forest Genetics at @uni-freiburg.de with a focus on local adaptation and/or stress reaction of trees. The position combines research and teaching (4 SWS), and offers the opportunity to develop an independent research profile (4+ years).

We need to shift from reactive response to an Integrated Fire Management to enhance forest and landscape resilience

#ForestSoils are more than dirt beneath our feet: they regulate water, store carbon, & support #biodiversity 🌱 On 18 November, the #HoliSoils Webinar Series continues with a session dedicated to understanding & mapping forest soils across Europe! Sign up now ➡️ holisoils.eu/holisoils-we...

Excellent resource!

The Forest Information System for Europe (FISE) is an entry point for data, information and knowledge on European forests – gathered or derived through key forest-related policy drivers. EFI and @w-u-r.bsky.social have been working on updating the site! 🔗 Explore the website: forest.eea.europa.eu

Geospatial data from the Integrate Network Database (270 marteloscope sites in 27 European countries with more than 100,000 recorded trees) can now be accessed through an interactive map. resilience-blog.com/2025/10/06/n...?

What happens when forests are valued not just for timber, but for clean water, biodiversity, and climate resilience? 🍃💧🦌 WWF Bulgaria , runs a pilot model for Payments for Ecosystem Services shows how nature can be part of the economic equation. Full story: intercede-project.eu/payments_fes...

very interesting study! Vaia is such a prominent wind storm case study. Very much appreciate that ungulate browsing was studied so widely, as forest resilience of the future stand will be strongly affected by high ungulate densities!

Researchers identify five steps to successful nature restoration - the need for policy coherence & adequate financial support to make Nature Restoration happen is clear yet the Commission have proposed an MFF/CAP that seem to deliver neither www.google.com/amp/s/phys.o...

We benefit a lot from exchanging experiences in disturbance prevention across borders. Alex and Lindon brought international practical experience to Germany and share this now with neighboring regions as well

Recommended watch: In a talk at the recent TED Countdown Summit 2025 in Nairobi, former US vice-president Al Gore explained why the narrative of "climate realism” is a “myth”.

🌱 The first pilot projects under the #ForwardsEU grant call have officially launched, marking a major milestone in climate impact forest monitoring and sparking new research to face the impact of climate change on EU forests. 🔗 Discover more about the launch: forwards-project.eu/launch-of-cl...

Really interesting work. The network of dendrometer observations is increasing and it would be great if stress indications could be collected for improved stress monitoring

The RESILIENCE learning modules are designed to be adopted in university courses. 1. Social-Ecological Resilience 2. Forest Ecosystem Resilience 3. Forest Value Chain Resilience One module also targets education of professionals in the forest-based sector.

🚨 RESONATE project's new #learning modules are designed with your needs in mind. From big-picture systems thinking to practical tools for fieldwork, these resources help you bring #resilience thinking into your daily work. @marlind.bsky.social Read more: resonateforest.org/new-resonate...

thanks for posting! It was a good experience to share our central European lessons learnt with foresters in the UK to let them be better prepared for possible future disturbance events of similar nature
