A new study from Lund confirms that pesticides commonly used in farmland significantly harm bumblebees. Data from 106 sites across 8 European countries show that despite tightened pesticide regulations, more needs to be done. Despite claims of the world's most rigorous risk assessment process, the use of approved pesticides in European agricultural landscapes still negatively affects non-target or

What methods can we use to reduce emissions and increase removals of greenhouse gases in agricultural soils? What opportunities and obstacles are there? These questions were discussed at a LU Land breakfast seminar earlier this autumn. The seminar was attended by Katarina Hedlund from Lund University who presented methods for carbon sequestration in agricultural soils, and by Åsa Kasimir from the

An evolutionary perspective should be taken into account to ensure long-term crop pollination. This is the conclusion of an article published by BECC and CEC-affiliated researchers at Lund University. The researchers build on recent findings that evolutionary processes, in response to landscape change, are happening faster than previously thought. The article presents a model that can help us unde

In just two weeks, Zhengyao Lu, Researcher in Physical Geography at Lund University and a member of MERGE and BECC, gained 60.000 reads of his article “Gigantic solar farms of the future might impact how much solar power can be generated on the other side of the world”. How could this be? We asked Zhengyao Lu himself to share his experience. In just two weeks, Zhengyao Lu, Researcher in Physical G

Clearcutting is often considered negative for biodiversity, which is why continuous cover forestry is seen as a more favourable alternative. But could it be that clearcutting - with proper management from a landscape perspective - could favour certain species? Recently, it has become increasingly common to find birds and butterflies on clearcuts, species that normally thrive in areas such as hayfi

During the unusually dry year of 2018, Sweden was hit by numerous forest fires. A research team led from Lund University, and partly financed by BECC, has investigated how climate change affects recently burnt boreal forests and their ability to absorb carbon dioxide. The boreal forests form a single biome that spans the entire Northern Hemisphere. These forests play a key role in the global clima

Toxins and chemicals are a major threat to our environment. The "third crisis" - the chemical crisis - is often forgotten when we talk about the climate and endangered species. Ahead of Biodiversity Day on 22 May, Maria Hansson, a researcher at Lund University and member of BECC, offers tips on how to create a non-toxic environment in your own garden, benefiting all its inhabitants, big and small.

After a year of intensive work by many involved, the Swedish Climate Symposium with its close to 400 participants, has come to an end. Now an evaluation of the conference awaits, but the feeling is that most people experienced it as a successful event. To take the pulse during the symposium itself, we did a couple of short interviews with some of those who were there. Satisfied organisers Josefin
