SVT har intervjuat Anders Lindroth om de långtidsmätningar av skogens koldioxidupptag som ICOS och institutionens forskare bedriver utanför Perstorp i norra Skåne. Tidigare mätningar har visat att torkan 2018 minskade koldioxidupptaget i södra skogar, medan tallskogar i norr klarade sig bättre. Årets torka påverkar nu pågående mätningar, och forskarna följer utvecklingen noga. Sveriges Television
Fleråriga grödor har potential att minska behovet av plöjning och bekämpningsmedel, vilket i sin tur kan leda till minskad markförstöring och utsläpp av växthusgaser. Nyligen invigdes en unik forskningsinfrastruktur som har potential att transformera jordbruket av Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap och LUCSUS, i samarbete med SLU Alnarp. Den nya anläggningen, finansierad av Eur

Afrika är, trots sin stora yta och därmed stora påverkan på den globala kolcykeln, relativt outforskat med avseende på ekosystemfunktioner och påverkan på klimatförändringar. Nu visar en ny in situ-studie under 2010-2022, att Sahelområdet har förlorat mycket av sin kraft som kolsänka under den undersökta tidsperioden.

Methane emissions from Arctic tundra increase when sea ice melts, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. This connection has been suspected before, but has lacked strong evidence until now. “Changes in the Arctic Ocean can affect ecosystems located far away on land, ” says Dr. Frans-Jan Parmentier, the study’s lead author and researcher at the Department of Physical Geography and

Neurons thrive and grow in a new type of nanowire material developed by researchers in Nanophysics and Ophthalmology at Lund University in Sweden. In time, the results might improve both neural and retinal implants, and reduce the risk of them losing their effectiveness over time, which is currently a problem.
