The MEDFATE model helps to understand the functioning and dynamics of water-limited mixed forests
A new study with the MEDFATE forest simulation model makes it possible to read into the effect of the mixture of plant species and their interactions in terms of water use and drought stress.
The future of the Amazon rainforest, in the hands of the smallest trees
A new study, led by the University of Exeter with the participation of Maurizio Mencuccini, ICREA research professor in CREAF, suggests small trees adapt better to droughts and could grow into a new generation to help the rainforest survive.
