A study published in the journal PNAS has revealed that short-term droughts (lasting a year or less) of extreme intensity reduce the carbon storage capacity of shrublands and grasslands by 35%, a figure higher than previously estimated.
This data has been calculated using mathematical modelling and has been published in the journal Nature Communications.

Disinformation arrives in all our homes, like distant family at Christmas, and sometimes it makes us doubt; even more so when the denialist discourse comes
It is said that science is often stranger than fiction and the Teabag Index initiative is a case in point. The star of this project is an object as everyday as a teabag and it is helping researchers around the world to better understand climate change. In what way?
An international research has shown that termites wood decay increases 6.8 times per 10°C rise in temperature. With climate change, the distribution area of these insects will increase, amplifying this CO₂ release effect that is currently not captured by climate models.
The Third Vice-President of the Spanish Government and Minister for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (MITECO, the Spanish acronym), Teresa Ribera, visited CREAF intending to know the centre and its scientific activity.
