Exciting news! Our team at @fisioklima.bsky.social is growing! 🎉 Welcome @kortabarriapz.bsky.social, who is starting her PhD on resurrection plants, species that can survive extreme dehydration🌱💧. Looking forward to the great research ahead!

Innovation takes flight with the project VIA-DRON led by our team member Usue Pérez-López! Watch as our drone surveys the first of the vineyard plots🍇, paving the way for precision agriculture in the Basque Country! #PlantScience

Exciting news! @julenastigarraga.bsky.social joins our team as a postdoctoral researcher! 🎉 With expertise in forest ecosystems🌲 and global change, he will delve into forest ecology under the guidance of Dr. Asier Herrero. Welcome aboard, Julen!

Festive day in great company! 🎄Today we enjoyed our Christmas lunch together with @numaps-news.bsky.social and Ekofisko groups 🌱🌾 Cheers to collaboration and shared moments!

Great day in the lab! 🧪🌱 We had the pleasure of hosting high school students from Talaia Ikastetxea at the University of the Basque Country for hands-on pigment and protein measurements. A big thanks to the Elhuyar Foundation for making it possible!

Hidden demographics & threatened plants: Are we missing part of the story? 🌱 For her master’s project, @AinhoaArburua, with Iker Pardo & Esti Sarrionandia, is analysing gametophytes & spores in soils from thriving vs recently extinct sporophyte sites. Lab time begins!🔬

Recently, we enjoyed an insightful presentation by Lola Fariñas on using ultrasound technology to detect water in plant leaves🌱 non-invasively!

Innovation takes flight with the project VIA-DRON led by our team member Usue Pérez-López! Watch as our drone surveys the first of the vineyard plots🍇, paving the way for precision agriculture🛰️ in the Basque Country!

Did you know farmland with low-intensity management boosts biodiversity? Check out the research by our team member Iker Pardo published in the Journal of Environmental Management, offering insights on enhancing biodiversity in the Western Pyrenees'🌿🏔️ rural landscape. #Agroecology #Biodiversity

Today, our team member Guillermo Lopez presented at the University of the Basque Country his work on the role of the mesophyll conductance in using carbon isotope discrimination to estimate water-use efficiency.

Honored to host Hipólito Medrano from INAGEA-UIB, sharing valuable insights on plant water economy🌿💧 A truly informative session!

Last week our team members @martinezgonixs.bsky.social and Dr. Ander Yoldi-Achalandabaso presented their research at the the Spanish Symposium on Cereal Physiology and Breeding, organized by IRNASA-CSIC🌾 #SEFIMEC2024
