On-going human population growth and changing patterns of resource consumption are increasing global demand for ecosystem services, many of which are provided by soils. Some of these ecosystem services are linearly related to the surface area of pervious soil, whereas others show non-linear relationships, making ecosystem service optimization a complex task. As limited land availability creates co

The Paris agreement on climate change requires rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. One important mitigation strategy, at least in the intermediate future, is the substitution of fossil fuels with bioenergy. However, using agriculture- and forest-derived biomass for energy has sparked controversy regarding both the climate mitigation potential and conflicts with biodiversity conservation.

Soil functions can be classified as supporting (nutrient cycling) and provisioning (crop production) ecosystem services (ES). These services consist of multiple and dynamic functions and are typically assessed using indicators, e.g. microbial biomass as an indicator of supporting services. Agricultural intensification negatively affects indicators of soil functions and is therefore considered to d

The increasing complexity of software applications and architectures in Internet services challenge the reasoning of operators tasked with diagnosing and resolving outages and degradations as they arise. Although a growing body of literature focuses on how failures can be prevented through more robust and fault-tolerant design of these systems, a dearth of research explores the cognitive challenge

Lund University's four campuses offer attractive academic environments that clearly reflect the University's identity. Research and learning are at the core, while the campuses also provide inviting spaces for social interaction, relaxation and recreation – all within a safe and inclusive setting. The University's campuses are continuously developed to meet the needs of a changing society. The pro

Godstransporter fyller en central roll i det industrialiserade och globaliserade samhället. I takt med att den globala handeln har ökat har en ökad efterfråga på transporter drivits fram. Trots att transporter bidrar till ekonomiska och sociala fördelar världen över står transportbranschen inför flertalet hållbarhetsrelaterade problem där godstransporter har identifierats som ett av de största hotEffective freight transportation is a central part of the modern society, creating social and economic benefits. Nevertheless, the logistics industry is facing substantial sustainability challenges, where freight transports have been identified as the main environmental hazard. Scholars have previously highlighted the centrality of the purchasing process for reducing the environmental impact of th

With nanotechnology, our researchers can create very small structures. The technology enables the development of materials that hold promise for future advances in fields such as information technology, sustainability and precision medicine. When a material becomes very small, it can acquire entirely new properties. On the nanoscale, a substance can behave in a radically different way than when it

Logging activities and the associated creation of roads and tracks can disturb and fragment forests, which may lead to a loss of forest-dependent species and possibly favour nonforest generalists and edge species. The effects of such disturbance are poorly known for African insectivorous bats. We studied the activity patterns of insectivorous bats in a tropical African forest at Kibale National Pa
