In Vienna, ready for #EGU2026! I will present a work about forest microclimate, comparing Landsat LST and below canopy air temperature measured by IoT devices! I am honored to co-chair a session about novel methods for bridging understanding of fluxes from leaf to continental scale.

🟥 New paper out 🟥 Powerful flowers: Public perception of grassland aesthetics is strongly related to management and biodiversity. With an amazing team: @valentinecology.bsky.social @davide-andreatta.bsky.social @foxnat.bsky.social & Franzi www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our analysis of 23 years of satellite data (2001-2023) 🛰️ across Europe's major mountain ranges 🏔️ reveals that global change🥵 is driving elevation-dependent phenological shifts 📈—but these changes don't translate straightforwardly into productivity gains☘️🍀. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Seven years of Sentinel-2 data reveal how Alpine forests respond to extreme events 🥵🥶. Late spring frost damaged mid-elevation beech, while hot drought stressed low-elevation oaks but benefited high-elevation species. Elevation matters for climate resilience🏔️. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Last year, our Forest Ecology group undertook the modeling of current and future distributions of forest tree species 🌲 🌳 in the Province of Trento at a management-relevant scale. Pending manuscript publication🤞, we released scripts, maps, and Damiano's MS thesis at UNIPD zenodo.org/records/17209032

The best set of conferences I have been lucky to attend in 2016 & 2019 but sadly missed 2023 😢 🌐🐋🐠🦑🪸🦇🦔🐸🦎🌳🌲🌎 I highly & warmly recommend it if you are into biodiversity redistribution & range dynamics in response to global change drivers ❤️SOTM❤️

🚨 Stat tips 🚨 Are you aware of the regression to the mean #RTM effect? This artefact is often overlooked in #ecology & especially in biodiversity resurveys 🌳🍄🦔🦅🦎🦋🐝🐞 It basically shows up each time you investigate changes between 2 time events: t2 vs t1 Let me unfold it for you 🧵

Setting forests aside doesn’t stir up more trouble—in fact, it calms the chaos 🌳 Happy to see my first PhD chapter out! 📝 Setting aside forests for biodiversity conservation does NOT amplify disturbances in temperate forests of Central Europe. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
