Bioenergy plays a vital role in the transition to a fossil-free society. However, the "unused" agricultural land, so-called marginal land, deemed suitable for bioenergy cultivation in southern Sweden is practically nonexistent, according to a new study from Lund University. Much of the land is already in use, for example, for horse grazing. "Our study shows that the potential for bioenergy product

Lead, pesticides, brominated flame retardants, plastic additives, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and heavy metals. This is what researchers at Lund University in Sweden found when they collected dead hedgehogs to investigate the environmental pollutants found in urban environments. Previous research has investigated the presence of heavy metals in hedgehogs from other urban areas in Europe and

Facts and research must carry more weight when planning the greening of cities in the future. A new research article calls for a paradigm shift – from 'arbitrary decisions' to more evidence-based urban planning, where urban nature is managed as a resource for both people and biodiversity. Biodiversity is under pressure and many species are at risk of disappearing due to human activity. Research sh

Pollinators such as bees, bumblebees, and butterflies lack sufficient habitats, and the ones that do exist are often of inadequate quality. A new study conducted by researchers from more than 20 academic institutions – including CEC and the Department of Biology at Lund University – shows that these insects can benefit from increasing the area of their habitats significantly more than what is curr

Vid Psykiatriforskning Skåne bedrivs forskning kring psykisk sjukdom och behandling. Självskadebeteende är vanligt inom psykiatrin och förknippat med ökad suicidrisk. Allvarligt ökad suicidrisk hanteras oftast genom inläggning på psykiatrisk klinik. För personer med upprepat självskadebeteende kan sådan inläggning dock bli långvarig, ibland förvärra självskadebeteendet och övergå i tvångsvård. Två
