Small passerine birds, such as blue and great tits, avoid breeding in urban areas where there are many non-native trees. Chicks also weigh less the more non-native trees there are in the vicinity of the nest. This is shown in a long-term study from Lund University in Sweden. City trees contribute to several important ecosystem services such as lowering local temperature and purifying air but are a

Nature-based solutions offer excellent opportunities to address environmental and social challenges. They can help mitigate climate change and protect biodiversity. However, better governance and funding, complemented by clear political priorities, are needed to scale up such solutions in the Nordic region. This is the finding of a new research report from the Nordic Council of Ministers, in which

With the arrival of spring, bumblebee queens take their first wing beat of the season and set out to find new nesting sites. But they are flying earlier in the year as a result of warmer climate and changing agricultural landscape, new research shows. – The risk is that we will lose additional bumblebee species and have reduced pollination of crops and wild plants, says researcher Maria Blasi Rome

The world is changing; we have experienced societal disruption due to global hazards such as pandemics and climate change. Environments or institutions that were taken for granted are suddenly at risk, forcing us to consider new risks that require careful development of concepts and theories, as well as novel approaches to assessment. This is the theme of the upcoming international conference SRA

Fifteen years ago, the first doctoral students began their education at CEC. Since then, there have been 240 PhD students from CEC and ClimBEco, the research school hosted by CEC. This week, about 60 of them gathered for a joint alumni celebration with networking, workshops and lectures at AF-borgen in Lund. The alumni of CEC and ClimBEco are now in very different fields, some have researched and

The city is the perfect place to study nature and how humans affect it, says Johan Kjellberg Jensen. In a new dissertation from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC) at Lund University, he explores the interaction between plants, animals, and humans in the physical environment of cities. Many of us associate 'nature' with something we go to the countryside to experience. But natu

Preschool and primary school children will now be able to learn more about insects, birds, flowers and plants, how valuable they are and how people can protect nature. The Natural Nations co-operation project is introducing biodiversity into the curriculum. In the past, knowledge of species and nature was part of general education, and knowledge was also transmitted between generations. Today, the

What if ordinary skin cells could be effectively reprogrammed to become brain cells and help with diseases like Alzheimer's? And what if machine learning allowed surgeons to precisely remove tumour cells on the operating table? These are the areas of research that Emil Andersson has been exploring to get closer to a solution. He successfully defended his PhD in computational biology at CEC. His th

A new study from Lund confirms that pesticides commonly used in farmland significantly harm bumblebees. Data from 106 sites across eight European countries show that despite tightened pesticide regulations, more needs to be done. Despite claims of the world's most rigorous risk assessment process, the use of approved pesticides in European agricultural landscapes still negatively affects non-targe

Remnants of plastic left by humans can now be found practically everywhere in nature – in waterways, within animals, and even amidst the clouds. In her thesis, Micaela Mafla-Endara examined how nanoplastics that end up in the soil affect the microorganisms living there. The answer is clear: there is an effect on the organisms and how they behave. One could say that Micaela Mafla-Endara and her tea
