The work took place at Cala Santa María, one of the most isolated Juniper populations present on the island. It involved accurate geo-referencing and sampling >1,100 junipers of different life stages (from saplings to reproductive adults), a challenging task given rough slopes were they grow - as you may appreciate in some of the pictures.
The sampling team included three members of Gensabina: Carles Molina (who joined us as field and lab technician last October: welcome!), Pablo Guitian (USC) and Luis Santamría (EBD); and three Master students of the Anglia Ruskin University: Sarah J. Evans, Suzanne Makki and Martina J. Bristow. It was a week of intense work but, despite a couple of days of heavy wind, we were able to enjoy Cabrera's sunny weather and awsome landscapes.
