Last week, BIOPARQUE @forestbiosec.bsky.social project (@oapngob.bsky.social) completed its final field sampling before the summer at Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park. Our broader mission is to assess the conservation status of habitats protected under the EU Habitats Directive.

We have started the spring field sampling for the @optiforvalue.bsky.social project 🌲 In this task we aim to compare the effect of tree species and forest composition on the internal trunk fungal microbiome (as an indicator of forest tree health) using a metabarcoding approach.

Great to have the opportunity to share our #OptiForValue research at last week’s #Adapt4K project event focused on the Almanac of Forest Research in Lower Austria. A big thank‑you to the #Adapt4K team for hosting an insightful event.
Thanks again to the team for representing #OptiForValue - Christian Kanzian (- seen presenting here), Sonja Vospernik, Stephan Böhm (University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU)) and Axel Solt-Rindler (Wood K plus - Kompetenzzentrum Holz GmbH) !

Holm oak forests (Quercus ilex) cover around 2.79 million hectares in Spain, making them one of the most widespread forest types in the country. Incredibly resilient, this species thrives under summer drought, wide temperature fluctuations, and a broad range of soils.

Beech forests (Fagus sylvatica) cover 387,776 ha in Spain. The country includes 18 provenance regions for this species. These forests in the Iberian Peninsula represent the southwesternmost populations of beech in Europe, making them ecologically and biogeographically unique.

As a forest researcher, I very often (far too often) encounter questions such as: What does a forest researcher do in Spain? Do you even have forests there? The international image of Spain as a mostly desert-like country, and mainly associated with sun and beach,has contributed to this stereotype.
