El proper 25 de setembre a les 10h del matí l'investigador del a Universitat de Stanford, William R.L. Anderegg realitzarà un seminari al CREAF. El seminari exposarà quines són les vies fisiològiques i les conseqüències de la mortalitat dels arbres induïda pel clima.

TÍTOL

Physiological pathways and consequences of climate-induced tree mortality

RESUM

Forest ecosystems store large amounts of carbon and absorb nearly a quarter of human emissions of carbon dioxide annually, but recent climate-induced, widespread forest die-offs highlight that climate change could threaten these carbon sinks. A recent “climate change-type” drought triggered die-off in trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) across much of the western United States.
