CREAF’s scientific coordinator, Alícia Pérez-Porro, takes part in the definition of the European framework for science diplomacy

Shaping binding regulations, policy guidelines and action plans requires connecting cross-cutting knowledge that includes science, diplomacy and public management. This is the embryo of a series of 5 working groups promoted by the European Commission in which Alicia Pérez-Porro, CREAF’s scientific coordinator, is involved.

Trees not only absorb CO2, they also clean the air of nitrogenous compounds

A new international study demonstrates the crucial role of micro-organisms on tree leaves in removing nitrogenous compounds from the air. The study shows that trees are not only excellent at absorbing carbon dioxide, but also play a surprising role in retaining and transforming other pollutants such as nitrogenous compounds.  The scientific team, led by Rossella Guerrieri, a Marie Sklodowska Curie researcher at CREAF while this research was being carried out, has discovered the presence of nitrifying microbes in tree leaves
