Fisken i frysdisken Den ljuvliga doften av ört- och honungsmarinerade lax döljer en mycket mörkare sanning bakom fasaden som det hälsosamma och miljövänliga alternativet. I svenska hem äts det allt mer lax och importen från Norge ökar. Vi känner nog alla igen de fyra inplastade rektangulära rosa fiskbitarna som nu står färdiglagade på bordet.

Barkborrar är en grupp av insekter som lever av och i vedartade växter. Vissa av barkborrarna har förmågan att angripa levande träd, och därav kan de potentiellt orsaka storskaliga skogsskador. Dessa skogsskador kan ha en betydande ekologisk inverkan på skogars ekosystem samt betydande ekonomisk inverkan för skogsägare och samhällen som är beroende av skogsbruk. I den här studien användes fenologiBark beetles are a subfamily of insects living in and breeding on woody plants. Some of the bark beetle species have the ability to attack living trees, and thereby the potential to cause major forest damage. These forest damages can have a significant ecological and economic impact to forest ecosystems and foresters. In this study, phenology models were used to compare the responses to climate ch

Den ökande mängden förorenade områden runt om i världen har blivit ett allt större problem. Risken att människor, djur och miljö exponeras för skadliga ämnen ökar, liksom de kostnader som krävs för att åtgärda dessa områden. För att kunna prioritera de värst förorenade områdena för vidare åtgärder använder man sig i Sverige av Naturvårdsverkets Metodik för Inventering av Förorenade Områden, MIFO. The great number of polluted sites has become a big issue for many countries around the globe as the risk of people being exposed to hazardous substances follows. To deal with the problem within Sweden the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket) has developed a unified Method for Inventory of Contaminated Sites, called MIFO. In this study a number of inventories that were made
