A new video of CREAF Talks conferences is now available. Scott Ollinger, from University of New Hampshire, USA, talks about basic relations among foliar N and CO2 assimilation in forests, relationships between N concentrations and a suite of functionally convergent plant traits that influence canopy reflectance, and implications for broad-scale N mapping and ecosystem—climate interactions.
Our researcher Mariona Ferrandiz considers 10 basic aspects about urban forests that we want to share.
A new study reveals that trees consume methane, a greenhouse gas responsible for around 30% of global warming.
Plants play a crucial role in the biosphere: they absorb carbon dioxide, release oxygen, and transfer water from the soil to the atmosphere. How do trees drink, and what happens when the water in the ground runs out?
A study published in Communications Earth and Environment – Nature has managed to read the rings of five hundred trees and reconstruct the history of rainfall in the Andean highlands of South America from 1700 to 2013.
Soil becomes increasingly enriched with nitrogen from activities such as intensive agriculture, which uses nitrogen-rich artificial fertilisers, or from livestock excrements.
Experts from CREAF, the UB, the UAB, CTFC and IRTA have written a report for the European Parliament on the potential of agricultural soils to sequester carbon.
