Climate warming is not a recent phenomenon; it has had detectable impacts on plants for at least 134 years!

“As dozens of frog species have declined, scientists have witnessed a remarkable chain of events: With fewer tadpoles to eat mosquito larvae, rates of mosquito-borne malaria in the region have climbed, resulting in a fivefold increase in cases.”

First, the frogs died. Then people got sick.
An emerging area of research is uncovering hidden links between nature and human health.

Very happy. A paper just out of the oven. It is a piece of work made possible only after many years of thinking about, and looking at, an old problem from multiple perspectives. And with the magical brushstrokes of our artists, Gabriela and Ariadna.

"las plantaciones de pino ardieron con mayor severidad que robledales, bosques mixtos o matorrales ... la intensidad del fuego en la vegetación colindante fue mayor cuanto más cerca estuvieran de dichas plantaciones." @irene-repeto.bsky.social

Para comprender y gestionar mejor los incendios forestales debemos observar el paisaje
En el contexto actual de cambio climático, las plantaciones de pino, muy abundantes en España, pueden ser puntos críticos para los grandes incendios.

My Letter in @science.org on the need to align wildfire prevention with conservation.
The wildfires occurred in Spain in 2025 have fueled policies prioritizing shrub removal as a strategy, which would undermine the EU's long-term biodiversity conservation goals.

Tree plantations burn exceptionally hot and often spread high intensity fire into adjacent vegetation -- true in Europe, NAmerica, Australia,etc. Yet plantation forestry is ostensibly climate-smart? Try again. 🌎
Pine plantations burn more severely & recover more slowly than other vegetation types. This is observed using the forest map (L) or the forest inventory (R), Spain

Update: The journalist, Gabriele Nunziati, has lost his job for asking this question.
'You say Russia should pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine. Do you believe Israel should pay for the reconstruction of Gaza?'
During an EU Commission press briefing, a journalist questioned the double standards of European policy, asking whether Israel should also be held accountable for rebuilding Gaza — just as the EU demands Russia
The question was met with silence, as the EU spokesperson declined to comment.

Sequoia sempervirens (redwood; world's tallest tree) is well adapted to high-intensity crown fires (eg 2020), but Sequoiadendron giganteum (giant sequoia; world's most massive tree) is adapted to surface fires only!

Un homenatge silenciós
La @ua.es convoca demà, 29 d'oct, 1 minut de silenci com a homenatge i record a les víctimes de la dana. Les banderes del campus onejaran a mitja asta.

La concentració silenciosa tindrà lloc a les 12 h als voltants de l'escultura de la mà, Dibuixar l'espai, UA.
La alta frecuencia de perturbaciones puede generar adaptaciones. Un intervalo de 75 años entre dos inundaciones (2024 color, 1949 BN) parece ser no suficiente para adaptarse.
