Att låta naturen på egen hand sopa igen spår efter mänsklig framfart, så kallad rewilding, har flera fördelar. Ekosystemens motståndskraft blir bättre, den biologiska mångfalden ökar och samspelet mellan natur och samhälle gynnas. Det visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Rewilding, eller återförvildande, är en metod som bland annat syftar till att återetablera djur- och växtarter som försvun

Bly. PCB. Bekämpningsmedel och bromerade flamskyddsmedel. Samt plasttillsatser och tungmetaller. Det var vad forskare i Lund hittade när de samlade in döda igelkottar för att undersöka vilka miljöföroreningar som finns i urbana miljöer. Urbana gröna områden är attraktiva för många vilda arter, men innehåller också en rad ohållbara syntetiska material och kemikalier. Igelkottar vandrar långa sträck

De senaste 40 åren har majoriteten av jordens sjöar ändrat färg. Det visar en ny studie där 32 miljoner satellitobservationer från drygt 67 000 vattendrag analyserats. Orsaken är omfattande förändringar i insjöarnas ekosystem. Sjöar är kritiska komponenter för jordens ekosystem. De fungerar som livsmiljöer för vatten- och landlevande arter, stödjer den biologiska mångfalden och upprätthåller den e

Ett forskarlag har studerat fyra märkliga stenar som hittats i en grusgrop strax utanför den lilla byn Kitkiöjärvi i Pajala kommun. Analyser av mineralkorn i stenarna visar att de härstammar från ett hittills okänt meteoritnedslag för 659 miljoner år sedan. Nu återstår jakten på nedslagskratern som lurar någonstans i närheten av grustaget. Ett forskarlag har studerat fyra märkliga stenar som hitta
