The climate issue is one of the biggest global societal challenges of our time. Research on where the climate is heading is an important part of that work, both to monitor the impact of emission reductions agreed between countries worldwide in Paris 2015, but also to be better prepared for the elements of climate change we will not be able to avoid. A climate model developed by researchers from Lu

Many pollinating insects benefit from a small-scale agricultural landscape with pastures, meadows and other unploughed environments. In landscapes dominated by arable land, they lack both food and nesting places. Sown flower strips can increase the availability of food for pollinating insects, and are therefore assumed to benefit pollination. However, new research from Lund University in Sweden sh
