New publication from our lab! Our new study, published in iForest, explores how Mediterranean woody species enhance their flammability through different functional traits — revealing multiple, species-specific strategies shaped by fire.

Our Fieldwork in Beytepe🌿
To identify the distribution of Ailanthus altissima, examine its changes over the years, and predict its future dynamics, we carried out fieldwork at Hacettepe University’s Beytepe Campus
Together with our intern team, we collected data in the pilot area of our research. 🌸

Planting a massive chunk of public land in pines is not our solution to climate change. This is continuing short-term thinking and it's a net negative for biodiversity. Some pine is fine, but not at this scale.
Pine planting: Ministers 'dreaming' about amount of suitable land, say green groups
The government claims to be on track for net zero emissions but official figures show 280,000ha would need to be planted to public land to do it.
