3 p, 277.5 KB La diversitat d'espècies vegetals augmenta la resiliència dels ecosistemes davant el canvi climàtic / Mencuccini, Maurizio (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Martínez Vilalta, Jordi 1975- (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Poyatos, Rafael (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Anderegg, William R. L. (University of Utah)
Investigadors del CREAF i de la UAB han participat en un estudi internacional que revela com les comunitats arbòries compostes per diverses espècies són menys sensibles a l'estrès climàtic. Demostren que mantenen estables els fluxos d'aigua i carboni en els ecosistemes boscosos enfront de sequeres i altes temperatures, com les esperades a causa del canvi climàtic.

Researchers from the CREAF and the UAB have participated in an international study that reveals how tree communities composed of various species are less sensitive to climate stress. They show that they maintain stable water and carbon fluxes in forest ecosystems in the face of droughts and high temperatures, such as those expected due to climate change.

Temporal Ecology and Biogeography Lab
São Tomé (Gulf of Guinea, Central Africa) is a 854 km2 tropical island that had a pivotal role in early European colonial expansion through the Atlantic between the 15th and 16th centuries. Historical sources suggest that native vegetation has been heavily impacted since human arrival (1470 CE) due to monoculture economies and the introduction of mammals and plants, some of which now have established wild populations.

A minuscule fraction of the Earth's paleobiological diversity is preserved in the geological record as fossils. What plant remnants have withstood taphonomic filtering, fragmentation, and alteration in their journey to become part of the fossil record provide unique information on how plants functioned in paleo-ecosystems through their traits.

The increasing similarity of plant species composition among distinct areas is leading to the homogenization of ecosystems globally. Human actions such as ecosystem modification, the introduction of non-native plant species and the extinction or extirpation of endemic and native plant species are considered the main drivers of this trend.

The Ecosystem Modelling Facility (EMF) is a small unit within CREAF specifically devoted to modelling activities, with special focus on the response of ecosystems to global change. EMF aims at becoming a meeting point for people (from CREAF and beyond) interested in developing or applying models to predict the response of terrestrial ecosystems to drivers of global change, both for research or knowledge transfer purposes.

Understanding the sensitivity of spring leaf-out dates to temperature (ST) is integral to predicting phenological responses to climate warming and the consequences for global biogeochemical cycles. While variation in ST has been shown to be influenced by local climate adaptations, the impact of biodiversity remains unknown. [...]
