Article Synopsis
- Insect and disease outbreaks in forests are increasingly problematic due to climate change, which disrupts ecosystem services like carbon storage and biodiversity conservation.
- The Database of European Forest Insect and Disease Disturbances (DEFID2) compiles over 650,000 records of such disturbances from 1963 to 2021 across eight European countries, utilizing methods like ground surveys and remote sensing.
- DEFID2 provides detailed qualitative and quantitative data on forest disturbances, enabling researchers to study ecological processes and assess the impacts of these biotic disturbances more effectively.
