Looking at old forests, in the small areas of forest lands where they are left untouched, and looking among other things at carbon dynamics. For the team this was a unique experience, and two field assistants have now published a film showing some of the environment and work deep in the forests far from common roads. Pristine or very old forests are not very common in the managed forest areas that

In May and June 2020, more that 300 dead elephants were found in Botswana´s Okavango Delta. Initially it was suspected that poaching was the reason, but it was later shown that they were poisoned by cyanobacteria. This is an increasing environmental problem, and recent work to create a global dataset on algal blooms shows significant changes in the last twenty years. Toxic algal blooms in water, k

Old- growth forests are to a large extent unprotected to logging, and the rate of cutting them down is high, not least in Sweden. Even protected forests are at risk, and the EU is on the way to failure, writes researches from Europe and USA in a debate article in Science. The pressure on Europe´s biomass rich old-growth forests have increased with the rising prices, and the logging rate was alread

SVT has interviewed Anders Lindroth about the long-term measurements of forest carbon uptake conducted by ICOS and researchers at the department outside Perstorp in northern Skåne. Previous measurements have shown that the drought in 2018 reduced carbon uptake in southern forests, while northern pine forests fared better. This year's drought is now affecting ongoing measurements, and researchers a

Perennial crops have the potential to reduce the need for ploughing and pesticides, which in turn can lead to reduced soil degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. Recently, a unique research infrastructure that has the potential to transform agriculture was inaugurated by the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science and LUCSUS, in collaboration with SLU Alnarp. The new facility, fu
