🌳 Com adaptar millor la #gestióforestal al #canviclimàtic?
En el marc de #MONIMED vam organitzar una jornada tècnica amb seminaris i visites a camp per definir estratègies d’adaptació als boscos mediterranis, del rodal al paisatge.

Cada #otoño pasa algo mágico ✨️y muy útil✨️ en los #bosques 🍂
Las hojas caen, el suelo se tiñe de marrones y parece que el #bosque se prepara para hibernar...
Pero se está preparando para volver a empezar 🌳

Why green schoolyards?
Because traditional ones are outdated — too hot, too hard, and too grey.

Boreal expansion isn’t just about rising #temperatures.
Shrubs thrive where tundra and forest meet 🌡️warmth and 💧moisture help them spread.
But under their cover, tundra lichens decline 🦌👥 threatening caribou, reindeer, and Indigenous Arctic traditions.

Smaller boreal species 🌱 especially #shrubs and #grasses 🌱 are better colonizers than tall ones.
They efficiently absorb nutrients and spread faster, outcompeting tundra herbs.
Borealisation is strongest in #Eurasia and #alpine zones, where tundra and forest are closest.
