Good discussions today at the stakeholder kick-off meeting in Pori about our case study on diversifying Finnish forests in @trees4adapt.bsky.social project. Heading back to the UK now. Many thanks to @mdpashkevich.bsky.social, @albrichk.bsky.social and @luke.fi team for organizing the meeting! 🌲🌳❄️

Successful day 2 of the Trees4Adapt kick-off meeting in Helsinki! 🌿 We worked on our case studies in Germany, Portugal, and Finland, looking at how more biodiversity, and the right stakeholders, can make real impact. And yes, we wrapped up with a sauna! #TreeBasedSolution #TreeBiodiversity

The Trees4Adapt team is in Helsinki for our kick-off meeting! Two days of planning, good discussions, a cold ferry to Suomenlinna, and a sauna ahead. A strong start to a Horizon Europe project on tree-based solutions 🌱 #Trees4adapt #TreeBasedSolution #MissionClimateAdapt #EUproject #KickingOff

Do you like forests and computer models? 🌳🧑‍💻 Within the Future Forests excellence cluster, we are hiring two modellers for 7 year (!) positions here in Freiburg. A scientific coordinator role: uni-freiburg.de/en/job/00004... And and a scientific programmer role: uni-freiburg.de/en/job/00004...

@trees4adapt.bsky.social people - nice opportunity to hear about research closely related to ours, but from another ecosystem!

I’m also really tired of seeing AI art. I don’t care if your diagram looks ugly or your photo is basic, it is instantly more interesting if it was made by a human!

Mortality from fire & wind is increasing in Europe's forests, but what about biotic disturbances? A new, massive dataset compiled by @thlasny.bsky.social and many local experts shows a mixed picture: While wood borers increase strongly, defoliator activity generally decreases doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

Open position for a methods-savvy PhD student to work on combining diverse data sources to understand forests! Great chance to work on an important topic with Mari Myllymäki and me + collaborators across Europe. Please apply (by 31st Oct) or share forward valtiolle.fi/en/jobs/rese...

🌳 New Mission Adaptation to Climate Change project: @trees4adapt.bsky.social Over the next 4 years, we’ll work across Europe to co- develop tree-based solutions for climate resilience and biodiversity. 📢 Follow our updates here and on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/tree... #Trees4Adapt #NBS

A few things I like: cycling, ecology, creative use of unusual historical datasets. Today I discovered this paper by @pieterdefrenne.bsky.social et al. combining all three, tracking phenology shifts using Tour of Flanders footage. Very cool.😀🚴‍♂️🍃 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Very cool field course on forest restoration (focus on deadwood+soils) last week. Organized by #Priodiversity project in Evo (also a CS area in @safenet-eu.bsky.social). Great to visit the Evo restoration experiment and Kotinen old-growth. My highlight: reactivating my soil knowledge (yay podzols)

How expensive are 🪲💨🔥?! I can‘t believe it, but my 2nd PhD paper is finally published @natclimate.nature.com! Disturbances lower the economic value of Europes 🌲 by 29%... Climate change will increase it to up to 42%! (Now imagine a company looses 42% of its value…) doi.org/10.1038/s41558-025-02408-9

Want to do a PhD in remote sensing? Interested in mountain forest ecosystems? Then apply for a PhD position in our lab! You will be part of the newly founded Centre for Forest Management in the Alps, working on scaling tree productivity from tree to landscape scale. Deadline 21st September.

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher in statistics to develop methods for analyzing large scale biodiversity and ecosystem function data at the University of Helsinki. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to do advanced Bayesian modeling with direct link to real world applications.

📣 #Research 🌍 Led by @thlasny.bsky.social, focus is on national monitoring of forest disturbances in EU. 🥜: • Lot of data available at national forest agencies • Looot of differences between the surveys • Data non-harmonized with limited sharing and access We can do better! ✔️ @yliojan.bsky.social

Just a few days left to apply!

Opportunity to work with some very cool people!

A rare field day, getting to know the forests of our @safenet-eu.bsky.social case study area in Romania, near Brasov. Impactful to see the shifts in species dominance already happening. Spruce and, crucially, Silver Fir are not doing well, Beech is gaining importance even at higher elevations.

Hey #plantecologists - question for you: I am pretty sure this is Veratrum album, which I thought is a species of open areas e.g. alpine meadows. Really surprised to see it in a closed canopy mature beech forest. Does it occur in forests too or what's up here? Location: Postăvarul massif, Romania.

Great start to my short visit to beautiful Brasov as part of @safenet-eu.bsky.social - very excited to work on the data to set up a new iLand model landscape and even more excited to get to see the local forests!

Two weeks ago we had a wonderful consortium meeting of #Precilience project in Tartu, Estonia. It was great as ever, insipiring people and disucssions, learning a lot of new facts and ideas. This is definitely the best part of my role as project coordinator! 🥰🤯🤓

When I was 9 years old, Finland had never been this warm this early in the spring. After that it has happened four times. I don´t think that I am that old. I am so worried of all this. The nature I grew up with is disappearing.

🚨 PhD Opportunity 🚨 🌱🔥We're offering a funded PhD position at @inrae-paca.bsky.social to investigate how tree species functional strategies and fire recurrence shape the resilience of Mediterranean forests and their ecosystem services. 🌍 📩 To apply (in French) : jobs.inrae.fr/ot-25708

From the press release: "the funding can be used to recruit researchers from outside Finland, for example from the United States, to Finnish universities". Just as an example, you know. Would hope for a way to extend this also to research institutes but great move already. www.aka.fi/en/about-us/...
