Manzanitas (Arctostaphylos spp.) flower and fruit when water is plentiful. To gauge upcoming conditions, they form flowering shoots at the tips of spring growth that stay dormant until the next season—like a tiny “big toe” testing for moisture.

Our DACWIRE project on drought adaptation of crop wild relatives is thriving! Plants are growing very well. We've just inaugurated a new drought exclusion facility. We've also started measuring plant traits @iicg-urjc.bsky.social @biodiversosurjc.bsky.social #DroughtAdaptation #CropScienc #DACWIRE

Irrigation in Mediterranean urban areas: a good strategy to face the ongoing climate change impacts on urban cedar trees? - Urban Ecosystems Irrigated trees are known to develop large aboveground structures that can be detrimental during dry spells, and therefore irrigated trees are expected to perform worse than non-irrigated ones under c...

In Mediterranean cities facing more frequent and severe droughts, urban greening strategies should prioritize better-adapted tree species and efficient water use rather than relying solely on irrigation
