A research group from the ‘Camino de Purchil’ Centre of the Andalusian Institute of Agricultural, Fisheries, Agrifood and Organic Production Research and Training (IFAPA) in Granada, the ‘Hinojosa del Duque’ IFAPA Centre in Córdoba, and the University of Granada have studied the effect of tree shelters on the regeneration of open oak woodlands (known in Spain as dehesas). The results of the study reveal that the survival rate of the trees is increased by both the direct seeding of acorns and the planting of nursery-grown seedlings.

The initiative, called AL-COMPOST, is based on the use of alperujo — a mix of olive pomace and mill wastewater — which is the main by-product generated in olive oil extraction

Researchers from the Universities of Granada (Spain) and Southern Denmark reveal a new abiotic process driven by sunlight that contributes to global N2O emissions from aquatic ecosystems

Researchers show that this hormone improves muscle energy efficiency and could become an innovative therapy to combat “diabesity”

According to data from the latest Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS), Spain is falling behind in reading comprehension levels. None of the Spanish-speaking countries are among the top ten with the best reading comprehension levels and all are below the OECD average

The international KM3NeT collaboration, with the participation of the University of Granada, publishes the detection of a neutrino of unknown origin with a record energy of approximately 220 PeV, making the news in the journal Nature. The finding demonstrates the potential of this experiment to study the cosmos through neutrinos, the second most abundant particle in the universe after light

Researchers at the University of Granada, in collaboration with other universities, have adapted and validated in Spanish the Perceived Responsiveness and Insensitivity Scale (PRIS-SA), a tool that measures the degree to which a person feels understood, validated and cared for by their partner. This Friday, February 14th, is Valentine’s Day, the Day of Lovers. A greater perception of response from one’s partner is associated with health benefits
