Forests in Šumava and Bavarian Forest NP are getting wild - describing their structure with #LiDAR was very helpful for #microclimate modelling.
Here are a just few pics from the #fieldwork:

Announcement: I will start as an assistant professor of ecohydrology at the University of Oulu starting from January. Snow, microclimate and Arctic-alpine ecosystems still on focus. Stay tuned for soon-to-be-opened Postdoc and PhD positions! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Vítěznou fotografií letošní Vědy fotogenické je Anglermoss od našeho kolegy Tomáše Figury. Gratulujeme! Nejen ji můžete vidět na aktuální výstavě v galerii Věda a umění @akademievedcr.bsky.social.
Nice to have such a motivated excursion to our #microclimate research plot! @spacetimeeco.bsky.social
Glad to see that cage protecting our loggers is still there.
New in gdalraster 2.2.0 🎉
You can now run GDAL CLI algorithms (e.g., gdal raster calc) directly from R -- thanks to the new GDAL 3.11 unified CLI.

This is figure 1. The global extent of natural forests in 2020 (according to the model, and based on the probability threshold of 0.52) with zoom-in examples (from left to right: Amazon Basin in Brazil, deforestation frontier in Indonesia, and boreal forest in Western Canada).
A paper in Scientific Data presents a novel global natural forest map for 2020 at 10 m resolution. This map can support forest monitoring or conservation efforts that require a comprehensive baseline for monitoring deforestation and degradation. go.nature.com/4remVIQ ⚒️ 🧪

Love to see the progress in implementation of shape-restricted smooths in my favourite package! Shape-restricted smooths are great for constructing models reflecting theoretical assumptions and hypothesis testing in ecology. #rstats

Technician carefully inserting a camera on a very long rail into a transparent tube in the ground in a beech forest.
First images from our #HydroScale Průhonice site show a cluster of beech roots growing at a depth of 1.2m!
Michal Man there, using the new device to #GoBelowground. We may need to come up with a new name for it--doesn't feel like a "mini" rhizotron.

Podíl VaV na celkových výdajích státního rozpočtu se v Česku snížil šestým rokem v řadě, a to z nejvyšší hodnoty 2,40 % v roce 2017 na 1,77 % v roce 2023. Vůči HDP to v roce 2021 bylo 0,61 %, v roce 2022 pak 0,55 % a v roce 2023 jen 0,51 %, což je nejméně od roku 2008. Ale zase máme nový zákon.
