Cloud detection in optical remote sensing images is a crucial problem because undetected
clouds can produce misleading results in the analyses of surface and atmospheric …

Being a relatively less known driver of land vulnerability to degradation in Southern Europe,
the net impact of urban expansion on land quality depletion requires a comparative …

Forest ecosystems are increasingly subject to disturbances, such as extreme (climate)
events, fires and pathological outbreaks, which exert significant (and still poorly quantified) …

The effects of short‐term extreme events on tree functioning and physiology are still rather
elusive. European beech is one of the most sensitive species to late frost and water …

Forest management is a complex topic at the interface between sustainability and the
resilience of socioeconomic and environmental systems. The influence of market forces …

Late frost can destroy the photosynthetic apparatus of trees. We hypothesized that this can
alter the normal cyclic dynamics of C‐reserves in the wood. We measured soluble sugar …

Satellite remote sensing is a highly valuable data source useful in the monitoring of surface
water dynamics and an essential tool in flood risk management although several factors can …

Phenological shifts in response to changing climatic conditions is a key acclimation process
for the persistence of perennial plants in temperate and boreal climates. The optimal time to …

Intense spring freezing events can kill the recently produced cohort of leaves, forcing trees to
expend additional carbon and nutrient stocks to produce a second cohort of leaves. The …

Global climate change is expected to result in more frequent and intense drought events,
especially during the warm season. In such perspective, it is crucial to assess the forest …
