Persistent impacts of the 2018 drought on forest disturbance regimes in Europe [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2021
Europe was affected by an extreme drought in 2018, compounding with an extensive heat wave in the same and subsequent years. Here we provide a first assessment of the impacts this compounding event had on forest disturbance regimes in Europe.

Assessing traditional knowledge on forest uses to understand forest ecosystem dynamics

open access: yes, 2013
Forest ecosystems worldwide are heavily influenced by human activities. Information on these human activities are key for understanding ecosystem dynamics, especially as some of these human activities have long-term consequences, i.e. legacy effects.
