The ForExD project investigates how climate change and extreme weather events affect forests' ability to absorb carbon dioxide. By using advanced remote-sensing data and developing new models, it aims to understand and simulate the interactions between climate, forests, and disturbances like droughts and wildfires.
Forests play a crucial role not only in providing breathable oxygen, supporting biodiversity and regulating water and energy exchanges, but also in mitigating climate change.
Currently, forests absorb 25% of human CO2 emissions, but their sequestration potential may be negated by more frequent and intense weather extremes and disturbances in the future.
Mega-droughts, massive wildfires and widespread tree mortality reported in the last decade might be early warnings of the upcoming threats to fo…
