Gamla naturskogar är hotade av avverkning, skyddet är lågt och avverkningstakten är hög, inte minst i Sverige. Även skyddade skogar är i fara, och EU är på väg att misslyckas att nå sina mål, skriver forskare från Europa och USA i en debattartikel i Science. Anders Ahlström från INES är en av dem. Hotet mot Europas gamla naturskogar, rika också på biomassa, har ökat med de stigande priserna och av

SVT har intervjuat Anders Lindroth om de långtidsmätningar av skogens koldioxidupptag som ICOS och institutionens forskare bedriver utanför Perstorp i norra Skåne. Tidigare mätningar har visat att torkan 2018 minskade koldioxidupptaget i södra skogar, medan tallskogar i norr klarade sig bättre. Årets torka påverkar nu pågående mätningar, och forskarna följer utvecklingen noga. Sveriges Television

Fleråriga grödor har potential att minska behovet av plöjning och bekämpningsmedel, vilket i sin tur kan leda till minskad markförstöring och utsläpp av växthusgaser. Nyligen invigdes en unik forskningsinfrastruktur som har potential att transformera jordbruket av Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap och LUCSUS, i samarbete med SLU Alnarp. Den nya anläggningen, finansierad av Eur

Afrika är, trots sin stora yta och därmed stora påverkan på den globala kolcykeln, relativt outforskat med avseende på ekosystemfunktioner och påverkan på klimatförändringar. Nu visar en ny in situ-studie under 2010-2022, att Sahelområdet har förlorat mycket av sin kraft som kolsänka under den undersökta tidsperioden.
