The earth is both inundated and drying up. Water supply is a complex phenomenon that has probably never been more complicated – or more important – than now. Kenneth M. Persson is a professor of water resources engineering and he took the initiative for Lund University’s Water Portal, which involves over 200 (!) water researchers. “The absolute greatest threat to well-functioning water management

Donald Trump aims to introduce sharply increased tariffs and an extensive deportation policy, while Kamala Harris is focused on domestic issues like stabilizing inflation and strengthening the middle class. What will happen to the U.S. and global economy when one of them becomes president? Maria Persson, Associate Professor in Economics, takes a closer look at the next U.S. president from an econo

Sown flower strips of clover. Photo: Maj Rundlöf. 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. Howev

Researcher Karin Steen is leading a new Formas project on love, gender and agriculture in Zimbabwe. – I wanted to pursue research that took a different approach to sustainability, gender, power and agriculture. Usually, you look at things like ownership and access to land. By focusing on immaterial values such as love, I believe that you can gain new insights into existing power structures, and ho

Rice in Japan. Photo: Kazuhiko Kobayashi The rapidly rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere affect plants’ absorption of nitrogen, which is the nutrient that restricts crop growth in most terrestrial ecosystems. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have now revealed that the concentration of nitrogen in plants’ tissue is lower in air with high levels of carbon dioxide, regardless

New data presented by researchers at Lund University and others in the journal Oceanologia show that the air along the coasts is full of hazardous nanoparticles from sea traffic. Almost half of the measured particles stem from sea traffic emissions, while the rest is deemed to be mainly from cars but also biomass combustion, industries and natural particles from the sea. “This is the first time an
