🔊Counting species is not enough Our new study from the Lower Ebro River (Spain) shows that the invasive apple snail (Pomacea maculata) and blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) significantly reduce functional diversity, despite little change in overall species richness. doi.org/10.1016/j.ec...

🌱La restauración de pueblos abandonados puede restaurar los ecosistemas. 🐞Un nuevo estudio muestra que la repoblación moderada y de bajo impacto en zonas rurales aumenta la diversidad, mantiene la calidad del agua y del suelo, y recupera valores culturales, sin perder su papel como sumideros de C.

🌱Restoring abandoned villages can restore ecosystems too. A new study shows that moderate, low-impact repopulation in rural mountain areas creates more diverse landscapes, supports biodiversity, maintains water and soil quality, and recovers cultural values—while still acting as carbon sinks.

Across Europe, climate-driven forest disturbances, such as wildfires and insect outbreaks, are expected to increase over the next century, according to a new large-scale modeling study in Science, substantially altering forested landscapes continent-wide. scim.ag/4uwZMmH

Climate change will increase forest disturbances in Europe throughout the 21st century

los mayores desfases económicos se refieren a Europa y a las plantasTras la llegada de las especies invasoras, los costes que acarrean tardan en manifestarse: un desfase medio de 46 años oculta su impactoMuchos países, aunque no tengan estudios publicados, soportan altos
costes. Los datos de ocurrencia de GBIF ayudan a predecir estos costes
El modelo predictivo revela que el PIB, la población y la superficie agrícola explican gran parte de los costes por daños causados por especies invasoras
