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.
The scientific community has already shown that forests growing in a climate unsuitable for them, such as a spruce in a dry climate, are easily
Tanca els ulls i pensa en l’ésser viu més sòlid que coneixes. Has pensat en un arbre? Sòlid, immòbil i impassible al pas del temps. Res més lluny de la realitat i és que els troncs dels arbres bateguen, es contrauen de dia quan es buiden d’aigua i es dilaten de nit al reomplir-se per les arrels.
A new review study in the journal Annual Review of Plant Biology warns that forests that were not considered threatened by extreme climatic events are
In this post, we explain everything you need to know about the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and its latest reports.
Two studies led by Jofre Carnicer, CREAF researcher and professor at the University of Barcelona-IRBIO, show that natural areas that maintain microclimates are more resilient
La ciència ja ha demostrat que el canvi climàtic està avançant la primavera fenològica. Fins ara, els hiverns suaus provocats per l’escalfament global se’n consideraven la causa principal. Tot i això, un estudi publicat avui a la revista Nature Climate Change afegeix que la manca de pluja també provoca que les plantes brotin abans d’hora a l’hemisferi nord. En aquesta zona del planeta, les pluges han disminuït la seva freqüència els darrers trenta anys i ara es demostra que això afecta també el calendari natural de les plantes.
