A climate risk analysis of Earth’s forests in the 21st century

Thomas Pugh, principal investigator at BECC and researcher at MERGE, is one of the researchers behind a new study that is published in Science. In the study, the researchers compared results from three major modeling approaches that provide information on different aspects of risk on the impact of climate change on forests in the 21st century. Forests harbor enormous biodiversity and are a major c

Inner dimensions and transformation can support people to live more sustainably and drive change 

A research initiative at LUCSUS examines how inner dimensions and transformation can support people to live more sustainably and drive change. Addressing (the causes and effects of) climate change is one of the most important societal challenges of our time. The demands for political action are becoming stronger from all levels of society, including individuals, social movements, businesses, and g

COVID Symptom Tracker app launched in Sweden

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have launched a free app to help map the spread of infection in Sweden and increase knowledge of the coronavirus. “Data from the app will give us a clearer picture of the development of the disease and why some people only experience mild symptoms while others get seriously ill and die”, says Paul Franks, professor of genetic epidemiology. It takes approxim

Effects of landscape change on the evolution of pollinators

An evolutionary perspective should be taken into account to ensure long-term crop pollination. This is the conclusion of an article published by BECC and CEC-affiliated researchers at Lund University. The researchers build on recent findings that evolutionary processes, in response to landscape change, are happening faster than previously thought. The article presents a model that can help us unde

Secondary forests could be a key factor in climate management – if we protect them in time

By analysing over 100,000 field measurements as well as environmental data, an international research team has created maps that show how and when naturally regrowing forests bind most carbon. To fulfil climate goals and avoid the most serious consequences of global heating, we need to both reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and remove carbon dioxide that is already in the atmosphere. Naturally

Could normal water prevent diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease?

Researchers at Lund University, Sweden, are studying whether it is possible to prevent obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease by reducing levels of the hormone vasopressin in the blood. 
- If you dilute the blood by drinking water, the body releases less of the hormone vasopressin, which can potentially lead to diabetes, says Sofia Enhörning, a doctor who has recently completed her PhD at Lu
