Researchers from CREAF and the UAB have carried out a study to evaluate the contrasting effects of conventional and organic management in six vineyards in the...
A recent scientific study reveals the impressive adaptability of honeybees to climate challenges. Bee colonies quickly adjust their internal roles and increase communication within the colony during extreme weather events, ensuring a...
Anthropogenic fertilization of the Earth, with increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2 and nitrogen in-puts, has enhanced plant photosynthesis and carbon sinks of terrestrial ecosystems. Several signals now suggest, however, that this carbon-sink activity is slowing its rate of...
A study with the participation of the Department of Animal Biology, Plant Biology and Ecology of the UAB highlights how important crocodiles are in the ecosystems they inhabit and proposes a new conservation protocol that prioritizes the components...
Cure4Aqua's mission is to develop new perspectives to improve the health and welfare of fish and thus improve...
Researchers from the UAB and CREAF participated in a study on the potential of the invasion of the Megachile sculpturalis bee in Europe, the causes of its expansion and the influence of climate change in this process. The results show a vertiginous...
On the occasion of her visit to CREAF as part of the CREAFTalks program, we interviewed researcher Ophélie Ronce, director of the CNRS research group at the University of Montpellier and member of the CREAF Scientific Council since 2017. Ophélie studies the role of evolution...
Protected marine areas are increasingly a space where maritime activities converge that require co-management of activities. The Interreg Pharos4MPAs project has carried out a review of the marine...
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a gas with a 273 times higher global warming potential than Carbon dioxide (CO2), originated in agriculture and livestock cultivation, and rarely mapped for peri-urban areas. An ICTA research group has mapped its emissions from...
The effects of global change include large changes in the beginning, duration and end of the growing season thus affecting the growth of trees. A study in collaboration with CREAF's Global Ecology Unit has analyzed...
