The carbon and nitrogen losses attributable to forest fires are much larger than was previously thought. This has now been shown by an extensive study that has compiled fire experiments from around the world. It is not just vegetation that is lost in forest fires. When a forest burns, there is also an impact on the soil, through the loss of carbon and other nutrients. This loss of nutrients can ne

Two new research projects will shortly begin at Lund University in Sweden to investigate how particle emissions from spruce forests affect the climate. The trees’ emissions of reactive hydrocarbons are thought to have a cooling effect on the climate. Almost 70 per cent of land in Sweden is covered with forest, mainly commercially managed coniferous forest. The forests play a central role in affect

Plants in tropical dry areas have developed an unusual strategy for survival. Instead of using their water supply during the dry season, they hold on to the last drops until the very end in order to quickly get started on photosynthesis as soon as the rainy season has begun. Using satellite technology, researchers have now managed to investigate the storage of water in plants worldwide. The resear
