In a recent paper, Nicholas Borsato, along with collaborators Jens Hoeijmakers, Bibiana Prinoth, Brian Thorsbro, and Rebecca Forsberg, provides insightful research on the complex atmospheric composition of the exoplanet KELT-9b. The team captured the exoplanet's spectra during transit, revealing numerous elements within its atmosphere. This study not only verifies the presence of previously known

The annual Space Research School was organized here in late August by Astronomic Youth (Astronomisk Ungdom) in collaboration with Lund Observatory. Attending this year's Space Research School were twenty intelligent, motivated and space-interested high school students from across Sweden.  During their 10 days in Lund the group of high school students attended several lectures given by university r

Thomas Pugh, principal investigator at BECC and researcher at MERGE, is one of the researchers behind a new study that is published in Science. In the study, the researchers compared results from three major modeling approaches that provide information on different aspects of risk on the impact of climate change on forests in the 21st century. Forests harbor enormous biodiversity and are a major c

Wild bees that ingest the neonicotinoid clothianidin when they feed from nectar of rapeseed flowers grown from clothianidin-coated seeds, become lethargic. In addition, strawberries pollinated by these bees become smaller. These are the results of a study conducted by three BECC researchers at Lund University. Wild and managed bees are important providers of pollination services and benefit the pr

Tree-planting has been widely seen as an effective way of binding carbon as carbon dioxide levels rise in the atmosphere. But now, BECC researcher Louise C Andresen among others, are warning that forests on nutrient-poor land won’t be an additional carbon sink in the long term. As forests age, their uptake of CO2 declines and, each time forests are planted, there is a risk of additional carbon bei

China has suffered an extreme heat wave this summer and the Yangtze River has been completely dried up in parts. This is the topic of a new episode of the Swedish podcast Kinapodden with BECC-researcher Deliang Chen as one of the guests. China has suffered an extreme heat wave this summer. The Yangtze River has been completely dried up in parts, resulting in an acute energy shortage. In a new epis

A new study led by Lund University with researchers at BECC shows that cities negatively affect the diversity of birds. There are significantly fewer bird species in urban forests compared with forests in the countryside - even if the forest areas are of the same quality. The researchers examined 459 natural woodlands located in or near 32 cities in southern Sweden. They counted the occurrence of

Effects of a warmer Arctic are not only negative for the climate, according to a new thesis from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science at Lund University, Sweden. Modelling showed that moving the tree line upwards could increase carbon storage, as trees sequester more carbon in their biomass than tundra plants. But the results are uncertain. The Arctic – the area north of the Arctic Cir
