A new study by 33 researchers questions the EU report on european forestry, which had a significant impact last year. In the study, data was misinterpreted which made volume of clearcutting to appear greater than it was, the researchers argue. Thomas Pugh, senior lecturer at our department, was interviewed by the magazine Extrakt, after having co-authored a study in which he and 32 other researche

Copernicus has published a dataset that shows growing seasons and vegetation productivity in great detail. Researchers from the department - Lars Eklundh, Zhanzhang Cai and Hongxiao Jin - have developed the algorithms that form the basis of the databases. Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS), a service that provides geographic data from satellites, has recently published a large dataset cover

Forest management in the climate debate is splitting the forest community of researchers, forest owners, organisations and companies. Which way is the right way to go to make forestry work to help to counteract climate change? Several of our researchers appear in this, and professor emeritus Anders Lindroth explains his view on today´s forest management. Swedish National television program Vetensk

The increasing amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing our climate to warm at an alarming rate. The consequent changes are unprecedented, and difficult to predict due to the complexity of the Earth system.  While we know that half of the carbon emissions released to the atmosphere by fossil fuel usage are re-captured by the ocean and land ecosystems, we still lack knowledge when i

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Diagnosing Alzheimer's disease is often difficult, as several other conditions can cause similar symptoms. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered a blood marker that can accurately diagnose Alzheimer’s in the early stages of the disease.Read the full article here

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. To understand what happens in the brain when Alzheimer's disease develops, researchers need to be able to study the molecular structures in the neurons affected by Alzheimer's disease. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have tested a new imaging method for this purpose. The research is published in the journal A
