Climate warming is not a recent phenomenon; it has had detectable impacts on plants for at least 134 years!

Despite the general perception, global emissions from biomass burning have shown a decreasing trend over the last 23 years, a pattern that is reversed in North America.

🔥 RESEARCH 🔥

Shrub resprouting depends on pre-disturbance condition, with aridity, soil fertility & fire history as secondary drivers. Repeated disturbance reduces resprouting, & adult plants are more resilient under low water conditions - Zomer et al.

Fig. 1.Resprouting plants differ in their success in resprouting post-fire as well as in the vigour of resprouting shoots. Some plants may (A) not survive the fire and will not resprout (plant 1), or will successfully resprout and subsequently die (plant 2), while yet others will resprout but with differing degrees of vigour, as evidenced by different crown heights and volumes (B–D). The images are the California Mediterranean-type climate region shrub, Adenostoma fasciculatum Hook. & Arn. (Rosaceae), during the first winter post-fire. (Photo credit: A.L. Jacobsen.)

“As dozens of frog species have declined, scientists have witnessed a remarkable chain of events: With fewer tadpoles to eat mosquito larvae, rates of mosquito-borne malaria in the region have climbed, resulting in a fivefold increase in cases.”

First, the frogs died. Then people got sick.

An emerging area of research is uncovering hidden links between nature and human health.

Very happy. A paper just out of the oven. It is a piece of work made possible only after many years of thinking about, and looking at, an old problem from multiple perspectives. And with the magical brushstrokes of our artists, Gabriela and Ariadna.

Para comprender y gestionar mejor los incendios forestales debemos observar el paisaje

En el contexto actual de cambio climático, las plantaciones de pino, muy abundantes en España, pueden ser puntos críticos para los grandes incendios.

My Letter in @science.org on the need to align wildfire prevention with conservation.
The wildfires occurred in Spain in 2025 have fueled policies prioritizing shrub removal as a strategy, which would undermine the EU's long-term biodiversity conservation goals.
