A large amount of data of different types has been generated by the project until now, therefore it was necessary to design a data structure to store and handle them. Data structure helps the project team to share and access data more easily and significantly improve the data (pre-)processing. For further analyses and data processing …
The summary of measures for the restoration of forest stands after a disturbance provides basic framework information on the annual development of bark beetle calamities, the extent of reforestation needs and an estimate of seedling material requirements. In the years 2017-2019, the extent of calamity clearings and reforestation needs were determined exclusively by remote sensing …
Two different forest types at the pole stand growing stage were compared regarding their transpiration during the peak of the growing season: a pure, artificially established even-aged Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) pole stand and a pure, naturally regenerated silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) preparatory pole stand. Both sites were comparable, as evidenced by …
We are pleased to share the highlights of a fascinating keynote presentation given by Petr Horáček, the leader of the Forest4Future project, during our recent event. His presentation, entitled “Climate change as a trigger for forest change in Central Europe – what lessons have we learned from biomonitoring of forest ecosystems?”, explored critical aspects of …
The goal of the working meeting of the Forest4Future project was mutual acquaintance with the data of the DendroNetwork on both the Czech and Norwegian sides, and the analysis of remote sensing data concerning the productivity of forest stands in both the Czech Republic and Norway. Furthermore, coordination of the preparation of joint map outputs …

We’re delighted to announce a significant milestone in the DendroNetwork infrastructure – the establishment of the 98th monitoring site, marking the completion of our extensive infrastructure. DendroNetwork is at the forefront of biomonitoring, providing invaluable insights into the current and future state of forests in the Czech Republic. In the face of climate change, it’s …

Although forests store significant amounts of carbon in tree stems, the extent to which stem growth depends on carbon assimilation and environmental factors is poorly understood. In this study, gross primary productivity (GPP) and net ecosystem productivity (NEP) are compared for the first time at daily resolution with stem carbon allocation (SCA) in a spruce …
