Forests in Šumava and Bavarian Forest NP are getting wild - describing their structure with #LiDAR was very helpful for #microclimate modelling. Here are a just few pics from the #fieldwork:

První snímky z letos vyslané družice Biomass. Jako první satelit „vidí skrz stromy“ – dokážeme tak díky němu na dálku měřit množství dřevní hmoty a kvantifikovat množství uhlíku, který je v ní uložen.

🤔 Jak žili naši pravěcí předkové v místě, kde nyní vzniká jedna z nejočekávanějších dopravních staveb, v okolí Pražského okruhu? 💭 A jaká svědectví po sobě zanechaly další kultury, které po nich oblast osídlily?

Greening in the arid Western #Himalaya isn't just about warming 🌡️. Using two decades of 🛰️ #Landsat NDVI data, we found precipitation 🌧️🌨️ and CO2 fertilization, not temperature, drives spectral greening across elevations in #Ladakh.

Not a single frost-free day all year round? The Himalayan cushion plant Ladakiella klimesii thriving up to 6150 m can handle it. But this cold desert specialist isn't built for deep, late melting snow. Warming 🌡️ boosts its growth at upper elevation limit— extreme snowpack ❄️ threatens its survival.

Where did ordinary building timber come from before 🚂 made transport cheap? In our new paper, we analyzed 1231 dendrodated constructions and coeval archival data to show that timber was most probably sourced locally. (But watch out for 🌲🌳 floating!) #envhist www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
