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

What roles do the forest and other ecosystems play on the greenhouse gas balance? How is this measured? Researchers and engineers from our department, engaged in ICOS, are featured in Vetandets Värld in Swedish Radio. Listen to the audio clip to find out about this research. Throughout Euope, ICOS - Integrated Carbon Observation system -  is building a network, an infrastructure of measurement sta

Actic expeditions - very expensive as well as time consuming and sometimes dangerous. Researchers Hakim Abdi and Daniel Metcalfe about unevenly distributed research. The Arctic is a remote and hard to reach area, which affects where research expeditions go and where climate scientists set up their field experiments. "The result is an extremely uneven concentration of research effort", states Hakim

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

A pioneering permafrost study has just been released in the online journal Nature Communications, showing that in all permafrost regions, soil temperatures rose by an average of 0,3 degrees Celsius between 2007 and 2016. Margareta Johansson, researcher at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science at Lund University, is one of the co-authors of this study. The new study shows that

Climate change causes an amplified warming of the Arctic, which may lead to the release of methane from previously frozen soils. Since it’s a strong greenhouse gas, arctic methane release can act as a positive feedback on climate change. However, anthropogenic efforts to reduce methane emissions may be more important for the direction of future climate warming. Torben R. Christensen and Frans-Jan

A warming experiment in a subarctic birch forest resulted many times higher release of BVOCs. Not to be neglected in the climate discussions, says one of the researchers behind the study. Ecosystems and the climate change response, as well as the feedbacks of these, are complicated to fully understand and to map out. As the currently ongoing climate change amplifies the temperature, plants respond

On August 29th, Margareta Johansson, researcher at our department, was interviewed in SVT news program Aktuellt. The topic was how ongoing climate changes are affecting alpine regions in Sweden. Climate changes are occurring with twice the speed in northern Sweden, compared with the rest of the country. When compared to pre-industrial times, the world has been warmed with +0,8 degrees Celsius betw

De senaste två veckorna har vi haft flera kortare eller längre nedstängningar av BioCollect. Detta är ytterst olyckligt eftersom allt fler av våra inventerare börjat använda BioCollect och vi just nu är inne i en intensiv inventerings- och redovisningsperiod.  Problemen ligger helt utanför vår kontroll. De har sin upprinnelse i ett elavbrott den 30 maj hos den operatör som sköter driften av de sys

God Jul och Gott Nytt År! Önskar vi på Svensk Fågeltaxering alla Sveriges fågelinventerare och fågelintresserade! Under året har många hundra inventerare gjort fantastiska insatser genom att räkna fåglar efter standardiserade metoder. Det har räknats längs bitande kalla kustremsor i januari, i lummiga skogar under ljuvliga vårmorgnar, i spännande obanad terräng längs standardutter och från fågelto
