Forests cover one-third of the Earth’s land surface, and they provide many essential ecological, economic and social services. During the last decades, the scientific community has been alarmed by reports of widespread tree and forest mortality worldwide.
A new scientific article published by members of CREAF, the Autonomous University of Barcelona, and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences reveals that when a forest is attacked by certain fungi during an episode of drought, tree mortality multiplies. The article explains the two classes of fungi which benefit from situations of drought and how they colonize and end up killing trees through food and water starvation.
El Màster Universitari en Teledetecció i SIG starts this year with more than 80% of the available seats.
The aim of the workshop organized by EBD and CREAF will be the analysis of patterns of intraspecific genetic variation with species distribution models. The conference will take place in Sevilla on 23 October at the Biological Station of Doñana.
John Maso, CREAF researcher organizes the group named Geospatial User Feedback Standards Working Group with Sim Thum Fraunhofer Institute and Lucy Basten Aston University.
