How do forests shape the climate — and how does a changing climate reshape our forests? What can science reveal about the forests of tomorrow? This mini-documentary dives into the world of climate modeling and forest ecosystems, offering insights into one of the most pressing environmental questions of our time. This short documentary explores the complex relationship between forests and climate t

On 6-8 October, the MERGE autumn meeting of 2014 was held in Kalmar. The three interesting days focused on the future possibilities of research within MERGE and what is to come. For those of you who could not join the meeting - and those of you who would like to see a particularly interesting presentation again - we have collected the presentations from the meeting here. MERGE is now at the end of

Researchers at Lund University have produced the most detailed map of carbon emissions from Swedish forest fires to date. The results show that the largest emissions occur below the ground surface, in peat and organic soils. During the extremely hot summer of 2018, 324 forest fires were reported in Sweden. Using field measurements, models, and data from the Swedish Forest Agency, the Swedish Envir

Wildfires are becoming more frequent and are ravaging new parts of the world due to global warming. A study led by MERGE-members and researchers from the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers shows that this change is increasing the vulnerability of thousands of plants, animals and fungi. As global temperatures rise, the incidence of wildfires is increasing in many regions. This is mainly because

A lack of phosphorus in forest soil could lead to an acceleration of global climate change. This is shown by new research that has investigated the complex balance between carbon dioxide fertilisation, phosphorus deficiency and tree growth. The world’s forests are vital in the fight against climate change, as they absorb around a quarter of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Trees

During the past week, 350 delegates from 120 countries have gathered in Copenhagen, to go through and come to a common conclusion about the state of knowledge on climate change. The result was finalized as a synthesis report which states that the human influence on the climate system is clear and recent anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are the highest in history. But the report also sta

Comparing the first simple climate models with those of today is like comparing a little blurry black and white line drawing with a large, high-resolution full-color photo. Everything has increased dramatically - both complexity, geographical resolution and model datasets.

Lund University has collected the top research of the university's twelve strategic reseach environments in a new book. MERGE is one of these environments. In 2008, the Swedish Government designated 20 ‘Strategic Research Areas’ (SRAs) in its research-policy bill. Within these 20 areas, 43 research environments were chosen for specific funding in a special evaluation in 2009. They were all conduct
