Los bosques maduros absorben menos CO2 del previsto: «Nos tenemos que emplear más a fondo para reducir las emisiones»

Climática, suplemento de la revista la Marea, ha entrevistado a la ecofisióloga de BC3 Teresa Gimeno sobre el estudio. Durante la entrevista Gimeno ha destacado los resultados obtenidos en la investigación reflejan que los bosques maduros son claves para mitigar el cambio climático pero que tienen limites

Article: The long-term restoration of ecosystem complexity

Multiple large-scale restoration strategies are emerging globally to counteract ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss. However, restoration often remains insufficient to offset that loss. To address this challenge, we propose to focus restoration science on the long-term (centuries to millennia) re-assembly of degraded ecosystem complexity integrating interaction network and evolutionary potential approaches. This approach provides insights into eco-evolutionary feedbacks determining the structure, functioning and stability of recovering ecosystems. Eco-evolutionary feedbacks may help to understand changes in the adaptive potential after disturbance of metacommunity hub species with core structural and functional roles for their use in restoration.

La restauración de ecosistemas dañados requiere estrategias a largo plazo

Un estudio publicado en Nature Ecology & Evolution señala que un ecosistema degradado requiere una estrategia de restauración a largo plazo (de décadas o incluso siglos) para mejorar el comúnmente limitado éxito de la restauración. En el estudio han participado David Moreno-Mateos, investigador del BC3 y la Universidad de Harvard, y Asun Rodríguez-Uña, investigadora de BC3.

Anil Markandya participate in the “The ClimateTech Podcast”

BC3 former director Anil Markandya participate in the The ClimateTech Podcast of UNEP DTU Partnership, a leading international research and advisory institution on energy, climate and sustainable development. In this podcast series, experts and practitioners present their views and insights on specific technologies or sectors, that can help address the climate crisis, and more importantly, how we can speed up its implementation in the developing world. The programme participate Anil Markandya, Former Director of the Basque Centre for Climate Change, Richard Klein, Senior research fellow at the Stockholm Environment Institute and  Jessica Troni, Head of the adaptation unit at UN Environment

Article: The fate of carbon in a mature forest under carbon dioxide enrichment

Atmospheric carbon dioxide enrichment (eCO2) can enhance plant carbon uptake and growth, thereby providing an important negative feedback to climate change by slowing the rate of increase of the atmospheric CO2 concentration. Although evidence gathered from young aggrading forests has generally indicated a strong CO2 fertilization effect on biomass growth, it is unclear whether mature forests respond to eCO2 in a similar way.
