This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that plant-eating insects affect forest ecosystems considerably more than previously thought. Among other things, the insects are a factor in the leaching of nutrients from soil and increased emissions of carbon dioxide. The researchers also establish that the temperatu

Thanks to a new function, you can register the dataset in LUCRIS and display it in the Lund University Research Portal. At present, it can be difficult to find information about research data because it is scattered in different places on the web. A common way is to deposit a dataset in a repository that can be either cross-topic or topic-specific.But now you can register metadata on your datasets
