The ecosystem services of Mediterranean forests are at risk if global temperatures rise more than 2°C
For the first time, the scientific evidence on how fire risk and ecosystem services in Mediterranean forests are affected by a global temperature increase or decrease above 2°C is reviewed.

Planting 3,000 million trees in Europe could increase the risk of forest fires
A research group made up of researchers from CREAF, CTFC, InBIO/CIBIO, University of Santiago de Compostela and CSIC warns that the massive reforestation proposed by the Green Deal could increase the risk of fire if it isn't carried out according to good planning and scientific criteria.
During the lockdown, nature did not invade the cities, it only became more visible
After a year of lockdown in the world, the results of the ornitho.cat scientific project are available, promoted with the aim of understanding the effects of shutdown on nature. A scientific work in which we have collaborated with the Catalan Institute of Ornithology and published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Climate change affects birds in Europe and North-America differently than in the Mediterranean, and could expose them to a climate trap
The behavior of bird communities in Europe and in the United States and Canada due to climate change is different than in the Mediterranean area. It changes faster in winter, when they migrate, than in spring, when they nest.
We participate in Europabon, the biodiversity observation project at the service of European public policies
We are involved in the European project H2020 EuropaBON (Europa Biodiversity Observation Network: integrating data streams to support policy), which aims to create a standard for controlling biodiversity and ecosystems in Europe, to integrate data and support public policies.
Global change requires new fire management to preserve biodiversity
More than 4,400 terrestrial and freshwater species are threatened by changes in the fire regime. While many species are at risk by the increased frequency and intensity of fire, its suppression can be harmful to some life forms and ecosystems.
