In a more conspicuous sign of autumn, beech and other deciduous trees blanketing the hillsides start to sport reds and golds. The seasonal transformation was underway in southeast Poland\u2019s Bieszczady National Park on October 8, 2026, when the <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/landsat\/oli\/\" rel=\"noopener\">OLI<\/a> (Operational Land Imager) on the NASA-USGS <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/landsat-9\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Landsat 9<\/a> satellite\u00a0captured this image.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">European beech (<em>Fagus sylvatica<\/em>) dominates the area\u2019s forests, with other species such as sycamore maple (<em>Acer pseudoplatanus<\/em>) also contributing to vibrant color in the fall. Dropping air temperatures and waning daylight cause these trees to curtail the production of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthdata.nasa.gov\/topics\/biosphere\/chlorophyll\" rel=\"noopener\">chlorophyll<\/a>, the molecule that plants use to synthesize food. Without it, the leaves\u2019 green pigments fade, allowing the yellows and reds of other pigments to show through.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A descendent of ice-age survivors, the European beech has persisted across millennia in a range of climates. After the glaciers retreated, beech forests spread northward across the European continent from isolated refugia in the Carpathians, Alps, and other mountain ranges, and played a crucial role in reforesting the previously ice-covered land. Portions of Bieszczady National Park are included within UNESCO\u2019s network of <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/1133\/\" rel=\"noopener\">ancient and primeval beech forests<\/a> spanning 18 countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expansive as their footprint across Europe may be, beech forests reach only so high in elevation\u2014about <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1038\/s41598-022-22248-3\" rel=\"noopener\">1,000 to 1,260 meters<\/a> (3,300 to 4,100 feet)\u2014in this area.
