Skog som växer på mossar kan bli en klimatbov

Johannes Edvardsson (forskare) och Lianne Gouma (gästdoktorand), båda vid geologiska institutionen, har intervjuats i flera medier med anledning av att de undersöker fyratusen år gamla trädstammar som legat under torven i en nordskånsk mosse. Edvardsson berättar bland annat att växthusgaser avges när träd börjar växa på mossar. På så sätt kan träden få rollen som klimatbov. Medier som rapporterat

Daniel Conley forskar om de urgamla haven.

  Daniel Conley forskar om de urgamla haven. Han vill hitta ögonblicket då kemin i haven helt förändrades – när kiselalgerna blev vanliga – vilket förändrade jordens ekosystem. Förutom att kiselalgerna är en stor matkälla, tar de upp mängder av kisel från haven. De suger i sig koldioxid och ger ifrån sig syre. Hela 20 procent av syret i atmosfären idag tros komma från kiselalgerna.

Charlotte Sparrenbom skriver om MIRACHL-projektet (in-situ sanering av mark förorenad med klorerade kolväten)

För att möta framtidens utmaningar inom stadsutvecklingen och det stora behovet av fler bostäder, sker förtätning av städerna. Detta är en viktig fråga för en framtida hållbar stadsplanering. Förtätning av städer görs ofta genom att expandera bostadsområden in i gamla förorenade industriområden. Trots större statsanslag för sanering, har vi med nuvarande takt inte kunnat uppnå det nationella miljö

Green infrastructure – planning and designing a functioning nature

After climate change, biodiversity loss is the biggest environmental challenge facing the world today. The loss of plant and animal species also means a loss of the resources that humans obtain from well-functioning ecosystems. At Lund University, a project is underway in which researchers are studying how work to counteract these losses is carried out with so-called green infrastructure. In today

Profitability, not more cattle, is needed to save natural grazing land

Sweden does not need more cattle to save natural grazing land with high biodiversity. This is the conclusion of a new report by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. What is needed instead, according to the researchers, are economic incentives that make natural grazing profitable. Natural grazing land is a central part of the Swedish cultural landscape and important for biodiversity. Grazing a

An unusually early spring – how nature in Sweden is responding to an increasingly warm climate

In recent decades, the climate in Sweden has become about two degrees warmer on average and this year we have seen an unprecedentedly mild winter and early spring. How is nature responding – animals, insects, plants – to an increasingly mild climate? Researchers in Lund can provide the answer. Among other things, a new study shows that greenery in Sweden begins to appear between one to two weeks e

Dramatic changes in regional flora

A study from Lund University indicates that the flora of Skåne in southern Sweden changed drastically throughout the 1900s and up to the present day. The greatest decline in species diversity can be seen in forested areas in the northern and central parts of Skåne. “I was surprised that climate change has had the biggest impact”, says researcher Torbjörn Tyler of Lund University. The researchers’

Revealed: How billions in EU farming subsidies are being misspent

A unique study has analyzed in detail how EU agricultural subsidies flow down to the local level. The new data show that most income support payments go to intensively farmed regions already above median EU income, while climate-friendly and biodiverse farming regions, as well as poorer regions, are insufficiently funded. Consequently, the majority of payments are going to the regions causing the
