Enhancing ecosystem service provision through the silvicultural management of European black pine stands from afforestation and reforestation in Italy - Journal of Forestry Research Afforestation and reforestation, when aligned with site-specific ecological and socioeconomic conditions, can enhance ecosystem functions and services (ESs). In the Mediterranean, European black pine ...

Monitoring forest attributes, C-fluxes, and C-stocks using the process-based model 3D-CMCC-FEM Process-based forest models (PBFMs) are valuable tools for investigating the effects of climate change and alternative forest management strategies. H…

🌲 Forests breathe, grow, and mitigate climate change! 🌍

First-ever national-scale study using NFI plots in Italy with 3D-CMCC-FEM shows how forests manage carbon and respond to climate change. Essential insights for policymakers & forest managers.

Earth system response to Heinrich events explained by a bipolar convection seesaw - Nature Geoscience The onset of Southern Ocean convection following a slowing of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation during Heinrich events can help explain rapid CO2 increases and Antarctic warming during these events, according to Earth system modelling.

🌍 Study the past to understand future trajectories!
A new Nature Geoscience study (PIK Potsdam, co-auth. Daniela Dalmonech from For.Mod.Lab) shows how a bipolar convection seesaw may recur if the AMOC weakens under climate change. 🌡️🌊

We reviewed @scienceofthetotalenvironment fire emissions in the Mediterranean region, where “top-down” methods have not yet been implemented. Data reveals discrepancies across the four inventories examined (GFED, GFAS, FINN, and EDGAR). Check out at: doi.org/10.1016/j.sc...
