Farewell to Mario Vargas Llosa, the end of an era for Latin America鈥檚 literary luminaries

The death of Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa (Arequipa, 1936 鈥 Lima, 2025) marks the end of a Golden Age of Latin American literature. Just as there will not be another generation in Spain like that of Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Calder贸n de la Barca, Tirso de Molina, G贸ngora and Quevedo, in America there will not be another like that of Vargas Llosa, Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez, Julio Cort谩zar, C茅sar Vallejo, Pablo Neruda, Jorge Luis Borges, Alejo Carpentier and Carlos Fuentes.

Microclimatic protection proves ineffective in improving the survival and development of holm oaks

A research group from the 鈥楥amino de Purchil鈥 Centre of the Andalusian Institute of Agricultural, Fisheries, Agrifood and Organic Production Research and Training (IFAPA) in Granada, the 鈥楬inojosa del Duque鈥 IFAPA Centre in C贸rdoba, 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.
