Plants in tropical dry areas have developed an unusual strategy for survival. Instead of using their water supply during the dry season, they hold on to the last drops until the very end in order to quickly get started on photosynthesis as soon as the rainy season has begun. Using satellite technology, researchers have now managed to investigate the storage of water in plants worldwide. The resear

VIDEO: Researchers from our department are measuring terpene particles emitted by spruce/fir forests, which are believed to have a cooling effect on the climate. They believe that planting more of this type of forest could help offset global warming. – Planting spruce forests could increase the carbon uptake. They would release aerosol particles which have a cooling effect on the earth, Janne Rinn
