Spatial ecology in a changing world
ECO-LAND gets involved into the LTER programme through the TREEBIO project in Aigüestortes. ECO-LAND members together with other researchers at the CTFC took part in the LTER Spain meeting that was held 16-17th June in Collserola. Magda Pla from the Remote Sensing LABTAG group will […]
Our links with the Centre d’Étude de la Forêt (CEF, Québec, Canada) have been strengthened during these last weeks and a collaboration agreement has been signed between the CEF and two main forest research centers in Catalonia CTFC and CREAF. The bonds with the CEF […]
The Catalan winter bird Atlas 2006-2009 is out and was officially presented May 18th at the Pedrera building in Barcelona. Thanks to the work of over 1,000 contributors, and published by Lynx Edicions and Institut Català d’Ornitologia, this Catalan Winter Bird Atlas 2006-2009 is […]
In recent years, rapid developments in statistical techniques to address emerging issues in quantitatively based classification of vegetation plot data, partly a result of the increased power of modern computing, now allow researchers to analyse large (e.g. national scale) datasets in ways not previously possible. […]
The identification of relevant information is a critical task in modern science. This is a process that researchers do at all times during their professional lifes and sharing such relevant, filtered information is a step forward towards better science. The ECO-LAND lab wants to promote […]
An exploratory workshop from the European Science Foundation on risk assessment analysis will take place in Girona from 17 to 20th April 2011. The workshop, coorganized by the CTFC, is led by Núria Roura-Pascual and participated by other components of the ECO-LAND lab and MONTES […]
During these last weeks we received two international visits to our lab. Luke Kelly from Deakin University in Australia visited Solsona for some days in February, giving an interesting talk on fire regime impacts on biodiversity in southern Australia. Cesar Capinha from Évora University has […]

Second meeting of SOCC participants in Solsona Volunteers and researches taking part in the Catalan Common Bird Monitoring (SOCC) met at the CTFC in Solsona on October the 9th. New advances and applications of common bird monitoring where discussed including bird counting exercises and the […]
Modelling landscape dynamics driven by fire (MEDFIRE model) Landscapes are not static and in Mediterranean regions such as Catalonia fire is driving to a large extent current changes in forest extent and composition. In her master work Núria Aquilué has addressed different questions regarding to […]
At the 9th international Meeting on Vegetation Databases (26–28 February 2010, Hamburg, Germany), it was decided to establish a global metadatabase of vegetation data that is publicly available. This initiative has lead to the definition of the Global Index of Vegetation Databases (GIVD). GIVD is […]

Oak regeneration patterns in pine forests Forest regeneration is a complex proces driven by many interacting factors. In this TPT master (UdL) study, Óscar Santafé supervised by Carol Puerta have investigated the factor determining natural regeneration patterns of oak sedlings in pine forests (Pinus nigra) […]
