We invite you to read the CREAF Annual Report 2019, so you can keep informed about all our progress. During that year, we published 233 articles indexed on SCI. 88% of this articles were in scientific magazines located in the first quartile.

Finally we can share with you the last CREAF Annual Report, which gather up the most important milestones, news, events, activities and publications of the center during 2019. You will also find information about CREAF's research projects, staff and financial questions. Some of the highlights are:

We have published the first international CREAF's newsletter with the purpose of improving our visibility, reputation and recruitment of talent.

Using mathematical models, a joint Spanish and Portuguese study has shown that altering the landscape, so as to reduce vegetation density and combustibility for example, and promoting farming activities of high natural value would drastically reduce the amount of land damaged by fire.

According to a study co-authored by CREAF-based CSIC researcher Josep Peñuelas and published in Science Advances, increases in ozone in Earth’s atmosphere will be a danger to the biodiversity of the Mediterranean Basin, Japan and equatorial Africa by 2100.
