New research results and methods by Abdulhakim Abdi, a researcher at the Department for Earth and Environmental Sciences (MGeo), are increasing knowledge about tree species in Sweden’s forests. Forests play a crucial role in Sweden’s economy, biodiversity, and climate system, and carry tremendous cultural values, so knowing which tree species grow where is important for managing them sustainably.

In the Arctic, the climate is warming faster than almost anywhere else on Earth. This is changing both the landscape and the ecosystems. Hanna Marsh, who recently completed her PhD, has investigated in her thesis how vegetation in the north is affected and what this means for nature’s carbon dioxide uptake. What have you been researching?'I have investigated how vegetation in the Arctic and other

The new project, "Forestry's climate adaptation and resilience" (FORESTCARE), will synthesise existing knowledge to support the transition towards more climate-resilient forestry. The project has received SEK 4 million in funding from Formas, as part of the call ”Knowledge syntheses for climate transformation”. Professor Markku Rummukainen tells us more about the project and what the funding means

Climate change is transforming the coldest regions of our planet at an unprecedented pace. Yet one of the key factors governing how ice sheets, glaciers, and permafrost respond is often overlooked: snow. A new EU-funded research project aims to change that. SnowPI (Polar Snow, Permafrost and Inland Ice in a Changing World), a newly launched Horizon Europe research project, is putting snow at the c

Strong ties between forest owners and their land does not automatically translate into greater efforts to promote biodiversity. The current system of voluntary protection also risks overlooking the most valuable natural areas, according to a new doctoral thesis by Hanna Ekström Pigot. The study is based on interviews with 23 forest owners in southern Sweden. Many express a clear and emotional conn

The mass extinction at the end of the Triassic period, 201 million years ago, was caused by extensive volcanic eruptions and a rapidly warming climate as the then-supercontinent Pangaea began to break apart. Global temperatures rose by at least 3–4 degrees Celsius. A new study in Nature Geoscience shows that widespread forest fires raged across the fern savannahs that spread following the die-off

Nature is a source of well-being and recovery for many people. However, research shows that there is also a growing number of individuals who experience negative emotions, such as fear, discomfort, or even disgust, toward nature. The phenomenon, called biophobia, is now highlighted in a new study from Lund University. “Research has long assumed that people fundamentally feel positive emotions towa

Continuous-cover forestry methods are gaining attention as a way to enable forests to deliver a broader range of benefits. The aim is to make forestry more sustainable, but significant challenges remain. These will now be addressed in a new project where five organizations are testing continuous-cover forestry in practice. In Bockeboda, just outside Kristianstad, the future of continuous-cover for
