Stand-level probability of spruce bark beetle damage mapped across Finland Researchers have created maps identifying forest stands where bark beetle damage is more likely to occur.

A new study predicts the likelihood of European spruce #barkbeetle damage, #Ipstypographus, at stand level in Finland, opening a path to proactive interventions for bark beetle management. Researchers have identified stands where bark beetle damage is more likely to occur.

A Black-headed silvanid beetle on a rock. It is facing left in the photo. The beetle is long and thin. It has a black head, yellowish thorax, and its wings are mostly black, but with yellowish spots on the side that cover almost halfway down the wings. The wings are closed. It has two long antennae which are sticking out in a V formation.

Our last wind advisory not only took the colorful leaves it also brought down a dead tree - long dead due to the bark beetle blight that's been decimating trees in our area.

Did you know that #landslide can be connected to #barkbeetle outbreak? How about #honeyfungus #Armillaria which predisposes spruces to bark beetle outbreak? Thank you to #TANAP foresters for an insightful tour in the #TatraNationalPark!

Bark Beetle Outbreaks Raise Daytime Temps in Swedish Spruce Forests

Bark beetle‑killed spruce in southern Sweden raised daytime ground temps up to 2 °C; dead crowns were on average 2.6 °C hotter than live ones on sunny days. Read more: getnews.me/bark-beetle-outbreaks-ra... #barkbeetle #sweden #foresttemperature

Dogs and drones join forest battle against eight-toothed beetle Forest Research said the UK is the first country to eradicate the beetle after five-year battle.

The #BarkBeetle has been the #scourge of #Europe, killing millions of spruce trees. Now, UK government scientists have been fighting back, with an unusual arsenal including sniffer dogs, #drones and nuclear waste models. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Impressive death of Norway spruce trees, Picea excelsa, caused by the #BarkBeetle #IpsTypographus in Val Badia, South Tyrol. Experts consider this massive attack a legacy of the storm Vaia, which knocked down 42,500 ha of woods in northern Italy in 2018. Increasing temperatures favored the beetle.

I don't usually post just sketchy things but I saw a video that gave a really good tip on how to draw hands so I decided to practice with it (and just so happened to apply BarkBeetle to it, definitely not on purpose) :3

Watershed Responses to Climate Change-Driven Disturbances in Temperate Montane Ecosystems of the Western United States

New paper in #Ecosystems by Rock, Shoup et al. shows how mountain West US ecosystems are at risk as climate-driven disturbances ( #fires , #barkbeetle outbreaks, etc.) intensify, with effects on water quality and quantity. @steve-carpenter.bsky.social @springer1842.bsky.social

Trees and land absorbed almost no CO2 last year. Is nature’s carbon sink failing? The sudden collapse of carbon sinks was not factored into climate models – and could rapidly accelerate global heating

⚠️ #carbonsink↘️↘️

"In Europe, #France, Germany, the Czech Republic and Sweden have all experienced

significant declines in the amount of carbon absorbed by land,

driven by climate-related #barkbeetle outbreaks, #drought and increased #treemortality"🌳
