Forests of the Carpathians are of increasing research interest, as they cover a large area (>
9 Mha) within European forests and are influenced by diverse environmental conditions and …

Microclimate is a key driver of forest dynamics and shapes the response of forest organisms
to global warming. The spatial and temporal variability of microclimate is strongly affected by …

Systematic Sentinel-1 acquisitions provide an unprecedented stream of SAR data which
allows to describe forest temporal dynamics in detail, a powerful tool for phenological …

Context Planted pine forests are highly abundant communities in the Mediterranean Basin.
