Sistemas Forestales Mediterráneos (SIFOMed)

The SIFOMed  group aims to study the dynamics and function of Mediterranean forest systems, with a special focus on their response to different Global Change drivers (mainly climate change and invasive species). We conduct basic and applied research in plant community and ecosystem ecology, with relevant implications for the restoration and conservation of […]

Las micorrizas en plántulas de Quercus están afectadas por el decaimiento del alcornocal

In forests affected by problems of tree dieback, tree health status could be an additional factor shaping mycorrhizal abundance in soils, which in turn could affect the probability of seedling establishment in a feed-back process.

A research team in the IRNAS has studied how cork oak (Quercus suber) decline can impact […]

El decaimiento del alcornoque y sus consecuencias sobre la regeneración del bosque

The predicted increase of tree decline episodes as a consequence of temperature rise could have an important impact in forest regeneration dynamics, and therefore in the future composition of forests.

A research team in the IRNAS, with the collaboration of the University of Basel (Switzerland), has studied how cork oak (Q. […]
