A diversity of different pollinators and other beneficial organisms in an agricultural landscape leads to an increase in crop production. This has been shown by a comprehensive international study that included researchers from Lund University. The study investigated two so-called ecosystem services that are of great significance to our food production. They concern the pollination of crops and na

If you exhale on a clear day in the clean, cold air of the Arctic, you will not see your breath form the cloud we are used to seeing when the temperature drops. The reason for this is that the cloud cannot form without aerosol particles. Moa Sporre, researcher in nuclear physics at Lund University, focuses on how these particles affect cloud formation and how the clouds, in turn, affect the climat
