  • Significant increase in natural disturbance impacts on European forests since 1950, 2022, Global Change Biology

The main areas of study Seidl has contributed to include forest management and policy, fire effects on ecosystems, ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, forest ecology and biodiversity studies, forest insect ecology and management, forest ecology and management, and species distribution and climate change.

Seidl frequently publishes in several scientific venues. The most common ones are:

  • Global Change Biology
  • Landscape Ecology
  • Forest Ecology and Management
  • Journal of Applied Ecology
  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Their collaborations include coauthors with whom they have published extensively:

  • Cornelius Senf
  • Werner Rammer
  • Dominik Thom
  • Sebastian Seibold
  • Monica G. Turner

Rupert Seidl's body of work spans multiple dimensions of environmental science, notably focusing on the dynamics and disturbances of forest ecosystems across Europe. Their research covers the interplay between climatic factors such as drought and insect outbreaks, the effects of natural disturbances on forest landscapes, and broad ecological and policy aspects of forest management.
