🔥🌿 ¿Y por qué unos bosques arden más que otros? El equipo @ecosystemmodelf.bsky.social del CREAF ha desarrollado una herramienta que muestra la humedad de la vegetación en toda España en tiempo real para mejorar la prevención. Un factor clave que faltaba 💧 www.creaf.cat/es/articulos...

Una nueva herramienta del CREAF permite conocer la humedad de la vegetación de toda España en tiempo real y mejorar la prevención de incendios

La herramienta, conocida como ForestDrought, puede consultarse casi en tiempo real en un mapa que muestra el contenido de agua del suelo y la humedad de la vegetación de la Península y las islas Balea...

Ecological Trajectory Analysis (ETA) is a framework developed by EMF to analyse dynamics of ecological entities defined as trajectories on a chosen multivariate space. ETA is implemented in package [`ecotraj`](emf-creaf.github.io/ecotraj/) which has been recently updated to version 1.2.2 in CRAN.

Which are the key sources of uncertainty when modeling plant moisture content? Although process-based models are an attractive tool for monitoring live fuel moisture content dynamics, their application to operationally assess near-term wildfire danger at regional scale faces important challenges.

What are the key sources of uncertainty in process-based modeling of live fuel moisture content? Balaguer-Romano et al. @ecosystemmodelf.bsky.social nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

medfate package reaches version 5.0.0 in CRAN!! 🎉 It now includes computational improvements with higher speeds! 🚄 It also incorporates a new organic matter decomposition simulation process! 🍃 Read all the news here: emf-creaf.github.io/medfate/news...

POR FIN los #bosques pueden decir GRACIAS 🌳🙏 Así se ven los suelos recargados de agua en toda #España 💧🌧️ Las lluvias recientes han rellenado los acuíferos y el sistema subterráneo de los #bosques 📊 En este MAPA vemos la evolución del contenido de agua en el suelo forestal desde octubre hasta hoy⤵️

🚀 We’re excited to announce the launch of ForestDrought, the new app from the Catalan Forest Laboratory! With ForestDrought, you can visualize and download daily estimates of water balance for mainland Spain. Check it out ! laboratoriforestal.creaf.cat/forestdrough...

🌲Volem que els boscos segrestin més carboni? O necessitem mantenir alguns serveis ambientals? Realment, NO hi ha un model ideal de #gestióforestal. 📘 Un nou informe, del projecte FORESTUTURE Escenaris de futur, analitza diferents escenaris de gestió tenint en compte el #canviclimàtic

Catalunya presenta el ForesFuture, un marc per decidir com gestionem els nostres boscos

El projecte ForesFuture ha simulat com evolucionen els boscos i els seus serveis ambientals segons dos situacions climàtiques i cinc escenaris de gestió forestal.
