Wildfires are becoming more frequent and are ravaging new parts of the world due to global warming. A study led by MERGE-members and researchers from the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers shows that this change is increasing the vulnerability of thousands of plants, animals and fungi. As global temperatures rise, the incidence of wildfires is increasing in many regions. This is mainly because

A lack of phosphorus in forest soil could lead to an acceleration of global climate change. This is shown by new research that has investigated the complex balance between carbon dioxide fertilisation, phosphorus deficiency and tree growth. The world’s forests are vital in the fight against climate change, as they absorb around a quarter of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Trees

According to new research, northern peatlands are likely to play a greater role in future climate change than previously thought. The study shows that large areas of peatland could start emitting carbon dioxide as early as the mid-2000s. To date, peatlands have mainly been regarded as natural environments capable of mitigating climate change, thanks to the fact that peat stores enormous quantities
