We develop eco-evolutionary models and life-history optimisation models to study adaptive phenology and their effects on ecological interactions and populations. Our work guides the interpretation of changing phenology patterns and enhances the possibility to predict the ecological consequences of climate changes.
Aims to analyse climate response in flowering time and phenological mismatch using records from herbarium specimens. Phenological data have emerged as effective tools for studying the impact of climate change on demographic processes. Of the biological responses to climate change detected to date, changes in phenological events during the spring such as onset of flowering are among the most sensit

addressing our society´s need for knowledge about the dynamics between biodiversity and ecosystem services in a rapidly changing world To generate cutting-edge research increasing the ability of societies to reach the UN Sustainability Development Goals, BECC currently focuses on three grand challenges arising from the combined consequences of climate change and land-use on biodiversity, ecosystem

One major challenge is to reduce the currently high uncertainty about how the carbon cycle responds to anthropogenic and biophysical drivers, including long-term effects of slow-responding processes of vegetation and soils. The carbon cycle dynamically couples the biosphere, oceans and atmosphere, and links societal and biophysical dimensions of the Earth system. A Grand Challenge is to reduce wid
A Grand Challenge is to integrate private and public values of ecosystem services into environmental policies and management, while accounting for the projected impacts of climate, land-use and other drivers of change. Climate, environmental and socio-economic change may negatively impact ecosystems and their services. But it may also provide opportunities such as increased agricultural and silvic
Climate change threatens biodiversity directly, but also indirectly through changes in land-use caused by attempts to mitigate or adapt to climate change. This calls for effective biodiversity conservation strategies on different scales. The direct and indirect consequences of climate change may have compounding effects on biodiversity, such as habitat loss that limits species range shifts. A Gran

Heads of Department meetingAs you may already know, a very large part of my time is spent in meetings. Frequent meetings and more occasional ones – and everything in between. And of course, within that mix there are meetings that are more or less exciting. At the end of April, I attended one of the more enjoyable meetings. I was in Stockholm, meeting with other heads of physics departments, with K

Scientists at Atomic Physics are pursuing research on the properties of atoms and molecules, mainly using advanced laser techniques. Lasers with outputs of the order of terawatts (1012 or a million million watts) are used to study how material and light interact at extremely high laser intensities. Areas of application can be found in medicine, IT and the environment. For example, methods are bein
