There has been much confusion about the historical distribution of Pinus sylvestris in the Iberian Peninsula, and little is known about the plant communities they form. We address all of this in our last paper, led by PhD student Victor González-García.

We just activated the field work campaign for habitat mapping in Vojvodina (Serbia) for the Twinning EU SONATA project. Great excursions visiting Pannonian grasslands and super-rich forests! Project info in sonata-nbs.com
What a wonderful recogition from my plant-interested colleagues 🌴🌿🌸🍂🌳🌐🍃 #vegetationscience #IAVS #humboldt
And many congrats to Meelis and the DarkDivNet core group for leading this! It was a pleasure to be one of the sampling groups.
The first paper from #darkdivnet is out now! Huge thank you to all our >200 co-authors who helped to reveal dark diversity in different parts of the world! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Junto con @borjajimalf.bsky.social desarrollamos el capítulo de los bosques templados caducifolios, donde tanto la renaturalización pasiva como la intervención directa son herramientas complementarias de restauración.

Front entrance of the "Jardín Botánico Atlántico" de Gijón, below, an group of students observing the organization of the botanical garden (looking into a map).
Mature individuals of Polypodium cf. cambricum (one of the most common species of Polypodium in the botanical garden) growing along a branch of a centennial Quercus tree. The branch is covered in moss in its upper side.
Individuals of four species growing on the lower trunk of a Populus. There are moss patches and the back site is some sort of crevice. Three maple (Acer sp.) seedlings were observed, but the individuals of the other species (Polypodium cf. cambricum, Cymbalaria muralis and perhaps a Viola) do not seem to be juveniles.
A healthy individual of the tree Prunus laurocerasus (cherry laurel) growing on the main crotch of a Quercus ruber.
Fun visit to the Atlantic Botanical Garden of Gijón with @borjajimalf.bsky.social and a #botany class.
At least eight species of plants 🪴🏵️ growing as #accidental #epiphytes.
Quercus full of surprises! I wonder if this counts towards the value of centenary #Quercus for #biodiversity.
