Is repopulation enough to restore biodiversity? Birds cast doubt on this.
A study led by researchers from the Institute for Global Change Research (IICG-URJC) reveals that mature forests maintain higher levels of bird biodiversity. This is true even in forests that have been reforested for over 100 years, thanks to the greater variety of habitats they offer.

Extreme droughts threaten carbon storage in grasslands
An international study published in Science reveals that the intensity and duration of droughts limits vegetation's capacity to store carbon, also affecting activities such as livestock farming and agriculture. The most vulnerable regions are arid and semi-arid regions, such as the Mediterranean or the southwestern United States. The study, led by Colorado State University, involved 120 institutions, including CREAF, the CSIC, and the IICG-URJC.
