Estamos en el auditorio de #Sax en la presentación del libro 📚Arida cutis. Ecología y retos de las zonas áridas en un mundo cambiante, de Santiago Soliveres, Jaime Valderrama y Fernando T. Maestre ➡️ publicaciones.ua.es/libro/arida-cu… #ADN #PublicacionesUA

As part of the #WorldEnvironmentDay 2024 celebrations in KAUST I will be talking tomorrow about drylands, their challenges and their importance to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. Info for Zoom registration 👇

Hoy es el #DíaMundialDelMedioAmbiente. Recientemente hemos publicado el buen libro de Fernando T. Maestre, Jaime Martínez Valderrama y S. Soliveres Prologado por la ministra para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico, Teresa Ribera 🌹 ➡️bit.ly/3wHlU4C #PublicacionesUA colección #ADN

Biodiversity is fundamental to sustain ecosystem functioning & service delivery. In this perspective in npj Biodiversity we discuss research needs on the biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationship in #drylands nature.com/articles/s4418… #WorldEnvironmentDay‌ KAUST

Excited to announce our new perspective paper in @npjBiodiversity! 🏜️ "Research needs on the biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationship in #drylands" highlights key gaps to advance our comprehension of the BEFr and improve ecosystem management ⬇️nature.com/articles/s4418…

Happy to share the seminar I gave yesterday about #drylands and #SDGs as part of the celebration of #WorldEnvironmentDay‌ at KAUST youtu.be/_67ad9XfO_M?si… Many thanks KAUST Sustainability Students for Sustainability at KAUST for the invitation, I really enjoyed it! #GenerationRestoration

Our latest paper has just been published in NatureClimate Check it out!

Si estás por Madrid no te pierdas el próximo lunes la presentación del último libro de nuestro compañero Jaime Martínez Valderrama sobre #desertificación #DiaMundialDelAmbiente

Over the past decade, research in drylands has greatly improved our understanding of how #biodiversity impacts ecosystem functioning. But there are still important gaps that need attention. Here's a breakdown: 🧵1/4 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4418… Nature Portfolio npj Journals

Today´s #DesertificationandDroughtDay reminds us the need of caring & restoring our precious land and water resources to mitigate #desertification& #climatechange in #drylands In the @MaestreLab KAUST we work to deliver science relevant 2 address these issues #UNited4Land

🌍🌱 Today is #DesertificationAndDroughtDay. With 40% of land already degraded, these are critical challenges. Fernando T. Maestre studies dryland ecosystems & their responses to climate change. Research results 👉 bit.ly/4c2yBGy #FrontierResearch Maestre Lab Universidad de Alicante UA

¡No te pierdas la nueva entrevista de nuestro compañero! Habla sobre su atlas de la desertificación en España y las complejas realidades que enfrenta. Descubre qué es la desertificación en realidad y cómo afecta el uso intensivo del territorio⬇️ bit.ly/4cAVlxk

#IBC2024 presentation done ✅ Thanks to everyone who passed by and listened to my talk on #mycorrhiza and ecosystem functioning 🌱

Our latest article has just been published in NatureClimate 👇Here we used data from the BIODESERT global field survey to explore how soil mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC) respond to changes in climate across drylands worldwide

Hoy en EL PAÍS: los #desiertos albergan una sorprendente variedad botánica. Según un estudio publicado en Nature (▶️doi.org/10.1038/s41586…), las zonas áridas tienen más diversidad funcional y de formas que las regiones húmedas: 📰 elpais.com/ciencia/2024-0… Miguel Ángel Criado👇

Our latest article, which is also the latest from the BIODESERT global survey, has just been published in nature 👇#Drylands act as a global reservoir of plant phenotypic diversity and challenge the pervasive view that harsh environmental conditions reduce plant trait diversity

"Hay tanta diversidad en las zonas áridas como en las selvas o en los bosques" EL PAÍS Materia se hace eco de nuestro artículo en nature con este reportaje de Miguel Ángel Criado elpais.com/ciencia/2024-0…

What a nice cover nature has this week 😀 If you want to learn more about the paper behind this cover and about the unexpectedly high functional diversity of dryland flora see rdcu.be/dRBA1

Our paper is today on the cover of the nature journal! If you want to know more about "the plant loneliness syndrome" the paper is here🔽 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Congratulations to #KAUST Professor Fernando T. Maestre on his pioneering research being featured on nature's front cover! Even in the harshest environments, life finds a way. The research uncovers the remarkable adaptability of plants in arid landscapes. kaust.news/PDAS
