¿Por qué la región entre Zamora, León y Ourense arde tanto?
No, no es para construir aerogeneradores, ni por ninguna de las teorías conspiranoicas que estamos leyendo. La explicación es más compleja… y menos cómoda para quienes buscan respuestas simples. 1/13

After a half-year break for health reasons, I'm thrilled to be back in the world of botany at the XXIV International Symposium of Cryptogamic Botany in Pontevedra, surrounded by such a vibrant and inspiring group of colleagues and friends. Cryptogamic botany is livelier than ever!

Proud to be part of this research! 💚

Here we highlight how crypticity is the order of the day in plants, even affecting supposedly well-known landscape-forming species of the European tree canopy, such as alders! 🌳🍃
We are excited to share our new article on riparian alders in the Iberian Peninsula 🌳💚 We hope you find it interesting!

⚠️⚠️Trigger warning: Alder identification only for the bravest botanists
