Europe's forest provide multiple ecosystem services for societies, ranging from provisioning
(eg wood) and regulating (eg climate mitigation and biodiversity) to cultural (eg recreation) …

Aim Primary forests have high conservation value but are rare in Europe due to historic land
use. Yet many primary forest patches remain unmapped, and it is unclear to what extent they …

Forests provide a series of ecosystem services that are crucial to our society. In the
European Union (EU), forests account for approximately 38% of the total land surface. These …

Abstract Changes in forest disturbances can have strong impacts on forests, yet we lack
consistent data on Europe's forest disturbance regimes and their changes over time. Here …

Mortality is a key indicator of forest health, and increasing mortality can serve as bellwether
for the impacts of global change on forest ecosystems. Here we analyze trends in forest …

The scientific literature contains contrasting findings about the climate effects of forest
bioenergy, partly due to the wide diversity of bioenergy systems and associated contexts, but …

Agricultural abandonment is widespread and growing in many regions worldwide, often
because of agricultural intensification on productive lands, conservation policies, or the …

The accelerating global rate of species extinctions and the inevitable human impacts on
biodiversity have increased the need to conserve, restore and use ecosystems sustainably …

Insect disturbance are important agents of change in forest ecosystems around the globe,
yet their spatial and temporal distribution and dynamics are not well understood. Remote …

Assessing changes in the extent and management intensity of land use is crucial to
understanding land-system dynamics and their environmental and social outcomes. Yet …
