La Desertificación del Suelo, Aspectos y Estrategias de Lucha

Publicaciones e Investigación, 2016
La desertificación es el resultado acumulado de un contexto climático difícil y de la utilización inapropia- da de la tierra. La recuperación de suelos desertificados comprende todas las actividades que mejoran las tierras de las zonas áridas, semiáridas

Do good neighbours compensate for bad climate? The case of sessile oak Quercus petraea in phylogenetically distant neighbourhoods

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 11, November 2026.
Stressful climates threaten the performance of individuals and the survival of species, but individual performance also depends on biotic interactions with neighbours, so that ‘good' neighbours might in theory compensate for ‘bad' climates. However, what makes a good neighbour, and why, has been little studied.

A plant–pollinator invasional meltdown: the Japanese pagoda tree Styphnolobium japonicum facilitates the invasion of the giant resin bee Megachile sculpturalis

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
An invasional meltdown can occur when a non‐native species facilitates the spread of another non‐native species in the invaded area, increasing its likelihood of survival or its ecological impact. Plant–pollinator systems pose an exceptional study system to test this concept, which remains poorly known.

Shrub canopies preserve climatic niche disparity among recruit species in Mediterranean drylands

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 10, October 2026.
Shrub canopies create microrefuges for recruit diversity. Across 10 Mediterranean shrublands, recruits beneath canopies encompassed a wider range of climatic niches and greater phylogenetic diversity than those in open ground. By hosting diverse climatic strategies, plant canopies may help sustain biodiversity under climate change, offering a ...

Maternal plant exposure to fire enhances offspring germination

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Plants that resprout after fire experience drastically altered conditions in post‐fire environments. However, the effects of plant exposure to fire on offspring traits remain understudied. Many resprouting species are herbaceous plants that flower and fruit rapidly after fire (i.e., fire‐stimulated flowering), developing their seeds under ...

Biases and Uncertainties in Radiosonde‐Based Precipitable Water Vapor

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Precipitable water vapor (PWV) plays an important role in weather and climate phenomena. Accurate PWV measurements based on radiosonde observations are essential for assessing remote‐sensing measurements and long‐term trends. This study examines the performance of PWV algorithms, including their intrinsic biases and their sensitivity to ...

A Field Guide for Soil Erosion Risk Assessment in Olive Orchards Across Mediterranean Conditions for End‐Users and Stakeholders

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9202-9221, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion control poses a crucial challenge to the sustainability of Mediterranean olive groves. To facilitate field‐level decision‐making, we have developed a field guide oriented to use in any type of olive orchard across the Mediterranean.

Zonas áridas de Latinoamérica: Desafíos y oportunidades para un desarrollo sostenible

Mètode Science Studies Journal: Annual Review, 2023
Las zonas áridas de Latinoamérica sostienen la economía de sus países. Sin embargo, la gobernanza y los modelos económicos enfocados en el corto plazo y la exportación han resultado en injusticia ambiental, desarrollo no sostenible y promoción de la ...
