It is expected that European Boreal and Temperate forests will be greatly affected by climate
change, causing natural disturbances to increase in frequency and severity. To detangle …

Wind and windstorms cause severe damage to natural and human-made environments.
Thus, wind-related risk assessment is vital for the preparation and mitigation of calamities …

Disturbances have increased in Central Europe's forests, but whether changes in
disturbance regimes are driven by natural or human causes remains unclear. Satellite …

The yearly exceedance probability of extreme precipitation of multiple durations is crucial for
infrastructure design, risk management, and policymaking. Local extremes emerge from the …

In the domain of landslide risk science, landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) is very
important, as it helps spatially identify potential landslide-prone regions. This study used a …

Severe winds are among the main causes of disturbances in boreal and temperate forests.
Here, we present a new geographic information system (GIS) database of stand-replacing …

Climate change poses a significant threat to the distribution and composition of forest tree
species worldwide. European forest tree species' range is expected to shift to cope with the …

In the climate-vulnerable Mediterranean basin, the severity and frequency of disturbances
such as windthrows, droughts and fires are intensifying. Forests are generally resilient, but …

Wildland fires and windthrows represent relevant disturbances for forest ecosystems
worldwide. In this context, especially for Italian catchments, the interaction between …

Forests provide important ecosystem functions such as carbon sequestration and climate
regulation, particularly in countries with high forest cover. Climate change-induced extreme …
