Observed the ARES mission today from the ground in La Massane, France. 🛩️🌳 Calibration measurements are done and more really cool ground data to be collected in the next days here! @spatialgenetics.bsky.social

Satellite Observations Reveal a Positive Relationship Between Trait‐Based Diversity and Drought Response in Temperate Forests 📄 https://buff.ly/4gBgsRr @helfenstein.earth

Happy to share our latest work towards monitoring functional diversity using #Sentinel-2 time series at @esa.int's #BIOSPACE25 conference in Frascati, Italy. Visit our poster and talk to our team from @spatialgenetics.bsky.social and @wslresearch.bsky.social! 😊

🌍🌳 Using Sentinel 2- data, we showed that Swiss forests with higher functional diversity resist & recover better from drought! A step toward scaling BEF insights to real-world forests! Check out our new publication in GCB by @helfenstein.earth et al. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Check out our most recent publication in @globalchangebio.bsky.social. 🌳🌍🛰️ Sentinel-2 data revealed that forests with greater canopy trait diversity showed higher resistance and resilience to the drought of 2018 in non-experimental forest ecosystems at landscape scales. 📄 doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70059

🚀 The Genes from Space team recently hosted a workshop in Bern with over 100 participants (!!) joining to learn about our new monitoring tool. It enables users to use space-based Earth observation data to assess habitat suitability and estimate key genetic diversity metrics worldwide🌍

#HiSciSky I am a Ph.D. student from the University of Zurich, focusing on observing biodiversity in forests using satellites! 🛰️🌳🌲
