Are pine plantations helping or hurting nature? Let me share our research-supported view of pine plantations in Mediterranean landscapes, and how they relate to wildfires, soil erosion, and biodiversity loss. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Beyond the forest-centric bias: rethinking extensive pine plantations in mediterranean landscapes

This contribution examines the significant ecological consequences of extensive pine afforestation in the western Iberian Peninsula since the mid-20th…

Que difundan nuestro estudio en la web "Club de Caza" es como un oxímoron. En efecto, la caza aniquila por diversión a aves que realizan migraciones increíbles, a la par que sostienen la biodiversidad y la resiliencia de los ecosistemas. Mejor caza con 📸 www.club-caza.com/article/art/...

Los zorzales, grandes aliados de la reforestación al dispersar semillas a más de 500 kilómetros

Algunas aves migratorias que se alimentan de frutos carnosos pueden dispersar semillas a más de 500 kilómetros. Es lo que ha probado una investigación científica que ha estudiado al zorzal común.

Record-Breaking 2025 European Wildfires Concentrated in Northwest Iberia onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... ~541000ha burnt under extreme monthly FWI Shrublands were +vely selected by fire & to a lesser extent pines. Oaks & crops were -vely selected @globalchangebio.bsky.social 🧪🌍🔥🌳 wildfire

Map of the Burned area in August 2025 across the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula (NW-IP; orange), highlighting megafires (> 10,000 ha; red).

Scatterplot of monthly Buned Aarea versus Fire Weather Iindex in the NW Iberian Peninsula for 1985–2025.

$Plot of the burn selectivity in August 2025 for the NW-IP: black dots show the fraction of BA for each vegetation class. “Pinus” and “Quercus” include natural, semi-natural, naturalized and plantations of native species. The red triangles indicate the presence of each class in the study area (i.e., what fraction of that vegetation class would have burned if fires were equally affecting all vegetation classes). Black error bars are 95% confidence intervals estimated through a conservative leave-one-fire-out jackknife.$

"las plantaciones de pino ardieron con mayor severidad que robledales, bosques mixtos o matorrales ... la intensidad del fuego en la vegetación colindante fue mayor cuanto más cerca estuvieran de dichas plantaciones." @irene-repeto.bsky.social 🧪🌍🔥🍁🌿🌳🔥 #wildfire theconversation.com/para-compren...

Para comprender y gestionar mejor los incendios forestales debemos observar el paisaje

En el contexto actual de cambio climático, las plantaciones de pino, muy abundantes en España, pueden ser puntos críticos para los grandes incendios.

Spain's fire-ridden summer 2025 sparked big debates about how forests are managed. Now new research in @jappliedecology.bsky.social shows that pine plantations in Spain can increase fire severity, that post-fire recovery is rare, & but that tree density management can help tinyurl.com/mf33xrt8

The legacy of pine plantations on fire severity

Our findings provide quantitative evidence that pine plantations can exacerbate fire severity under contemporary climate conditions, and that, once burned, these areas seldom recover. Effective spati....

Dense and continuous pine plantations fuel severe wildfires and hinder recovery 🔥 Reducing tree density can lower impacts, guiding more resilient afforestation and fire management strategies in Mediterranean ecosystems 🌲 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/1365...
