Farming practices that result in higher levels of carbon in agricultural soils could protect both wheat and barley harvests in a future changed climate. This is what emerges from a new study from Lund University in Sweden. However, the practices required are more costly for farmers in the short term, according to the researchers who argue for targeted environmental payments. Ongoing climate change

Primitive stoves and diesel engines produce soot particles, besides being bad for your health, have a negative effect on the climate. By affecting the atmosphere’s ability to form cloud droplets and ice particles, soot can dislodge the radiation balance. This according to doctoral student John Falk, who is currently working on his dissertation about cloud droplet and ice particle formation in clou

Lack of habitats and climate change – parameters that scientists know affect the number of pollinators in the world. But exactly how big is the effect and what else contributes to the decline of bees and bumblebees? This has Maria Blasi i Romero tried to find out in her dissertation which will be presented on November 26. A sure sign of spring is the buttery yellow rapeseed fields that every year

The type of tree you plant – whether you choose native or non-native species – is of great significance for insect life in a city, more so than researchers previously thought. This is what emerges from a new study by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, who investigated the parks in the city of Malmö. Trees are crucial to insects, birds and even people in a city. They lower the temperature, p

Scientific advice to decision makers requires transparent scientific assessments, in which communication of uncertainty is important in order to avoid over- or underestimating conclusions. In her dissertation ”Robust analysis of uncertainty in scientific assessments”, doctoral student Ivette Raices Cruz, who recently defended her dissertation at Center for Climate and Environmental Science (CEC),

Increasing attention is being paid to the impact of honey bees on wild bees. In a new report from Lund University in Sweden, researchers observed that honey bees compete with wild bees for flower resources, and that more research and knowledge are needed to create the conditions for coexistence between bee-keeping and the conservation of wild bees in Sweden over the long term. In recent years, the

Scientists at Lund University have discovered for the first time that it is possible to detect insect DNA in the air. Using air from three sites in Sweden, insect DNA from 85 species could be identified. This offers scope for exploring a whole new way to monitor terrestrial biodiversity. These preliminary results was presented at Ecology Across Borders (13th-15th December) via an online poster by

On Monday, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published a new report on how climate change is impacting nature and people worldwide, and on the necessity for adaptation. According to the researchers, more than three billion people live in environments that are particularly vulnerable to climate change, and the same applies to many species. The researchers establish that thos
