Mañana presentaré el tema de mi tesis a los estudiantes de la UIB, en el marco del ciclo de conferencias Víctor Guerrero. Como siempre hablar en público me estresa, pero espero que la charla pueda despertar curiosidad hacia este espacio tan fascinante cual es el bosque Mediterráneo 🥰🌳

Deadline extended until the 31st of January!

This work sheds light on the complex interplay between urban growth and the Mediterranean environmental impact over centuries 🤔 @iphes-cerca.bsky.social @ub.edu

🌳🌲 From the Late Middle Ages onwards, oak usage rebounded, although the vegetation around the city was highly degraded. This increase in Quercus wood is consequence of the widening in the wood catchment areas, and the key role of imports, mostly from the NE coast of Catalonia

🌳🌲Key insights🌲🌳: during the Middle Ages, holm oak woodlands declined compared with Roman times, with a rise in Ericaceae shrubs, maquis species and arboricultural wood debris. This shift likely reflects deforestation for agriculture, grazing and firewood.

As a result, we obtained a 1700-year anthracological sequence revealing how Barcelona shaped its surrounding woodlands due to wood fuel extraction. We framed our findings within the city's historical context, highlighting socio-economic and urban transformations between the Medieval and Modern times

These excavations were conducted over the last 20 years in the Ciutat Vella neighborhood. Our work focuses on the Medieval and Early Modern periods, while also connecting to earlier data from Roman times (Bianco et al. 2023).

Wood fuel consumption in the city of Barcelona in the medieval and early modern periods. An overview based on archaeological wood charcoal analysis - Vegetation History and Archaeobotany Wood fuel was essential for urban development in the Mediterranean area during the Middle Ages. Therefore, wood gathering practices and supply can be investigated through the study of wood-charcoal fr...

Thrilled to share a bit about our latest paper, published just before the NYE 🤗📃🎉

In this comprehensive study, we explored wood fuel consumption in Barcelona during historical periods, by analysing archaeological charcoal fragments from urban rescue excavations 🤠⌛️🔥

This is the first fieldwork that we did in the framework of "Dendrolandscapes" project from the University of Balearic Islands in collaboration with colleagues from the archaeobotany unit of @iphes-cerca.bsky.social, which were conducting parallel experiments regarding fire 🔥

We collected samples from trunks, using a Pressler auger, and 3 discs with different diameter of a branch of the same tree, to study the growth rates of these two organs (trunk and branch) in different growing situations (pioneer tree, understory, pollarded, unmanaged etc.) 🌳🌳🌳

One week ago we were sampling oaks (𝑄𝑢𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑢𝑠 𝑝𝑦𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑎𝑖𝑐𝑎) in the cold and rainy Arlanzón, Burgos. The huge amount of trunk cores and branch discs collected will be used to improve the living-tree referencial dataset of the Iberian Peninsula, for calibrating the existent dendro-anthracological tools
