An international team led by CREAF has published a new method to characterise which of the world’s forests are most vulnerable to water shortage.
The article has been recently published in PLOS Computational Biology. It has been led by the Department of Ecology of the University of Alicante (UA), with the collaboration of CREAF, among other research centres.
William Anderegg has been distinguished for his work on how trees absorb and release carbon dioxide in a context of climate change.
CREAF participates in a report by the European Commission to advise on the management of deadwood in European forests.
The results will help farmers and forest owners to choose management models that, in addition to producing food and wood, improve the ecosystem services of crops and forests.
The Uforest project will carry out four simultaneous tree plantations in autumn 2023, one of them in the metropolitan area of Barcelona (Spain), as a pilot educational forest.
Published in the journal Nature, an article arising from a study involving CREAF and led by the University of Leeds reveals that climate change is weakening the forests of the southern and western Amazon.
CREAF joins forces with the Centre d’Oftalmologia Barraquer to promote intelligent forest management based on excellent science, through the signing of a collaboration agreement.
All Data for Green Deal (AD4GD) is a European project led by CREAF that will help to unify all Earth observation data in a single space and thus support priority actions of the European Green Deal.
As a member of CREAF’s International Scientific Committee, Bridget Emmett helps define the center’s research strategy and to evaluate its results periodically.
