A study recently published in the journal Nature Foods warns that increased concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and rising temperatures are exacerbating differences between the rice yields of high- and low-income countries.
An international scientific team with the participation of CREAF and CSIC has recently published an article in Nature Climate Change explaining that biodiversity protects forests from premature leaf out.
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.
The research has been published in the journal Nature Sustainability and was carried out by CSIC and CREAF researcher Josep Peñuelas and a team from CONICET, Argentina’s National Scientific and Technical Research Council.
The Ministry of Innovation and Science of the Spanish government has awarded CREAF and CSIC researcher Josep Peñuelas Reixach the National Research Award 2023 ‘Alejandro Malaspina’, highlighting his research into global change, his leadership in technological innovation and his dissemination task.
The high concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere reduces by more than 20% the availability of phosphorus in rice paddies worldwide, an indispensable fertiliser mineral. This puts countries with low purchasing power at a disadvantage in terms of the cost of phosphorus fertiliser, and further widens economic inequality due to CO2 emissions and impacts on geochemical processes.

A new article published in Nature argues that if bioenergy with carbon capture and storage is delayed until the second half of the 21st century, it will not be possible to guarantee the goals of the Paris Agreement even in the year 2200.
The global health risk posed by antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) is a challenge for the health system and, in turn, an alert for people. The
Josep Peñuelas, investigador del CSIC al CREAF, ha col·laborat en un article a Nature que proposa tres indicadors claus per valorar el funcionament d’un ecosistema terrestre i valorar si es troba en bon estat de salut o benestar.
