A detail of the leaves of Fitzroya cupressoides

Fitzroya cupressoides (Cupressaceae). The pictures are not very good quality (it was raining), but this species of tree is really impressive. I love it, and the Valdivian temperate forests.

📷 Los Alerces National Park (Argentina).

Fungi can clearly distinguish between heartwood and sapwood... #wood #fungi

Nice soil profile at Los Alerces NP, NW Patagonia (Argentina). I guess they are Andosols (?) (volcanic soils) #Patagonia #Argentina #soil

After some days visiting a few burnt areas in northern Argentinian Patagonia, here are some species that resprout from the base after a wildfire: Lomatia hirsuta (Proteaceae), Aristotelia chilensis (Elaeocarpaceae), Schinus patagonica (Anacardiaceae), Nothofagus antarctica (Nothofagaceae)

I love seeing glaciers. Torrecillas glacier (Chubut province, Argentina), last week. #glacier #Patagonia #Argentina

Mean annual temperature in Barcelona (1780-2024) (source: meteo.cat). Why did the temperature rise so suddenly from 2022 onwards?

These hot days, when I open the windows at home at night, I receive the visit of many of these creatures attracted by the lights. It is the box tree moth (Cydalima perspectalis), invasive species in Europe. Their larvae feeds the leaves of Buxus species leaving them totally defoliated.

Parece que Eryngium es bastante apetecible... 🦋

Last day of the @esmmicrobes.bsky.social conference in Helsinki. Lots of interesting talks and an opportunity to present some results of #FirePyr, #LifeUncinata and #Beep projects. And an opportunity to learn on the complex world of microbes in the natural world. #esm2025

Sebastião Salgado has died... He was a great photographer! Now comes to my mind the documentary entitled "The Salt of the Earth" which explains his works on several natural places or on peoples around the world. Then I bought one of his books...

On this day, in 1877, was born Francesc Pausas Coll (my great-great uncle), painter, specialized mainly in portraits. He worked mainly in Barcelona and New York, but also in Cuba and Panama. More information about his life and work, here: www.uv.es/jgpausas/fra...

And it was also very interesting to visit the amazing rain exclusion and warming experiments that are being carried out at the oak forest of the Observatoire de Haute Provence

After 2 days of @holisoils.bsky.social meeting in Marseille, yesterday was really interesting to visit the project's experimental site at Saint-Christol d'Albion where a nice experimental design will provide insights of the impacts of different thinning intensities on the ecosystem.

The pictures (ornithographies) of @xavibou.bsky.social are impressive! #photography

Today I received this book, and I'm excited!! #Darwin

Looking daily data from the meteorological station of Lladurs (Pre-Pyrenees, NE Iberian Pen., close to my home...), it is obvious that cold days have been less frequent and hot days more frequent in the last years (2014-2024) than in the previous ones (1999-2013). Look 👇 #ClimateChange

Great #fossil collection at the Natural History Museum of #Zurich. This stone with Ophiuras and Trilobites is impressive! Could be a nice painting!
Definitively Ophiuras did not follow a random distribution...
