#satellites spot #forest stress two years before #BarkBeetle die-offs become apparent
A faint signal emitted during photosynthesis may reveal physiological stress well before tree mortality appears in aerial surveys, potentially giving forest managers more time to prepare before […]

Themes of UNITE flagship include enhancing forest resilience and adaptation and mitigation to climate change. How can dogs help in this? 🐶

Doctoral researcher Reetta Kangaslampi presented about Utilizing #ScentDetectionDogs in the identification of the European spruce #BarkBeetle. #Ipstypographus

They’re all dying from the BarkBeetle..
250yr old trees… It’s sad😞
Oddly enough, every tree on my property exploded with Nuts at the same time!!! First time ever in 32yrs of living here. Needless to say, THERE ARE A LOT OF FAT MICE RUNNING AROUND 😮😮 BlessThem, it’s their home….😊😊😊😎😎

A new study predicts the likelihood of European spruce #barkbeetle damage, #Ipstypographus, at stand level in Finland, opening a path to proactive interventions for bark beetle management. Researchers have identified stands where bark beetle damage is more likely to occur.

Our last wind advisory not only took the colorful leaves it also brought down a dead tree - long dead due to the bark beetle blight that's been decimating trees in our area.

Now, it's a matter of clearing all the debris.

Did you know that #landslide can be connected to #barkbeetle outbreak? How about #honeyfungus #Armillaria which predisposes spruces to bark beetle outbreak? Thank you to #TANAP foresters for an insightful tour in the #TatraNationalPark!

Bark beetle‑killed spruce in southern Sweden raised daytime ground temps up to 2 °C; dead crowns were on average 2.6 °C hotter than live ones on sunny days. Read more: https://getnews.me/bark-beetle-outbreaks-raise-daytime-temps-in-swedish-spruce-forests/ #barkbeetle #sweden #foresttemperature

The #BarkBeetle has been the #scourge of #Europe, killing millions of spruce trees. Now, UK government scientists have been fighting back, with an unusual arsenal including sniffer dogs, #drones and nuclear waste models. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Impressive death of Norway spruce trees, Picea excelsa, caused by the #BarkBeetle #IpsTypographus in Val Badia, South Tyrol. Experts consider this massive attack a legacy of the storm Vaia, which knocked down 42,500 ha of woods in northern Italy in 2018. Increasing temperatures favored the beetle.
