Super excited to research the resilience of socio-ecological forest systems with the amazing @anastritih.bsky.social in my Postdoc!

The future of Europe’s forest disturbance regimes– a thread. Tl, dr: Disturbances from wildfire, bark beetles & wind will continue to increase in the coming decades. Under unabated climate change disturbances could more than double by 2100. New paper out in @science.org doi.org/10.1126/scie...

Forests are reorganizing in their composition and structure in response to climate change - will they be able to maintain their carbon? Turns out: yes - they even sequestered more carbon than resilient forests! New paper out in Global Biogeochemical Cycles 🔄💎 @agu.org dx.doi.org/10.1029/2025...

Yesterday, our PhDs visited the Šumava National Park, the Czech neighbor to our Bayerischer Wald NP 🇨🇿🇩🇪 Together they cover an impressive area of >900 km² fittingly dubbed "borderless wilderness" - a great reminder of the privilege of getting to do "borderless science" in a "borderless team"! 🏞️

I’m really concerned about early career scientists using generative AI in writing, because writing is how we think and reflect. There’s almost nothing *more* human than that, and to give that gift away to a machine is almost unconscionable to me

Very interesting career perspective from Charlotte Helfrich-Förster. A lot of very good advices for young scientists rdcu.be/ekQat

Yippie, my paper is now out in Global Ecology and Biogeography! Basically, we tried to destroy (simulated!) forest landscapes And despite increasing disturbances 100-fold and decreasing regeneration by 99% - we didn't manage to! (in most cases anyways) Find out more at doi.org/10.1111/geb....

My favourite kind of simulation study - driven by pressing challenges in ecosystem management and executed in cooperation with the people facing them on the ground right now. Great work by @ttkeller.bsky.social and Co.! 🔥

Fun to get to rave about simulation modelling in forests and iLand a bit! 🌲💻

Everything @juditlecinadiaz.bsky.social said!

Interested in what me and my amazing coauthors found out about future carbon? 🌳🇯🇵🇩🇪🇺🇸 Then come listen to my talk tomorrow (Thursday) at GfÖ! (12:15, Room 2.002)

Great talk on a deep learning application for ecology by Johannes Dollinger (@johdolgha.bsky.social) from the Uni Zürich! Main takeway: deep learning products should not primarily be used to replace ecological research but can rather help guide it (e.g., by identifying priority areas) 💻🎯🥾

My dear colleague @kirstenkrueger.bsky.social just gave an amazing talk at the Chaos Computer Club! She talked about what forests can do for us and we for them in the face of climate change. While at it, she also created my new favourite ecology meme!

Why working @edfm-tum.bsky.social is my dream job 💚 www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AHF... I talk about my research, the ups and downs of my PhD, and what makes this job so fulfilling for me

Hi 🦋, I'm excited to build up a cool scientific network on here! Unrelated picture from this year's fieldwork in Grand Teton 🔥
