Sí al multilateralismo, no al escepticismo

La COP25 se celebró en Madrid porque fue imposible celebrarla donde estaba previsto y fue la más larga de la historia. Y aunque muchos la evalúan como un fracaso, recordemos algunas cosas. El hecho de que en menos de un mes haya sido posible celebrarla en la capital de España, evitando mandar la señal de que este proceso multilateral tan relevante podía interrumpirse, puede considerarse un éxito en sí. La Convención Marco de Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático (CMNUCC) ha sido ratificada por 195 países, y cabe recordar que Estados Unidos todavía formará parte de ella incluso si sale del Acuerdo de París.

Reseach Assistant to evaluate the role of soil fungal diversity in preserving functionality in Iberian beech forests under contrasting climate change scenarios

Current climate change scenario, with continuously rising temperature and more frequent and severe drought episodes severely threatens the maintenance of forests at the rear end of their climatic distribution limit. Symbiotic associations between tree roots and ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECM) can contribute to maintain forest functionality by enhancing root uptake of water and nutrients. In this project, funded by the regional Basque Government, we aim to quantify the functional role of ECM in beech forests in northern Spain, where this species finds its driest distribution limit.
