Secondary forests could be a key factor in climate management – if we protect them in time

By analysing over 100,000 field measurements as well as environmental data, an international research team has created maps that show how and when naturally regrowing forests bind most carbon. To fulfil climate goals and avoid the most serious consequences of global heating, we need to both reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and remove carbon dioxide that is already in the atmosphere. Naturally

"Environmental politics should be included in all politics"

A new report from "miljöforskningsberedningen" (MFB), a council for dialogue between the scientific community and the Swedish Minister for climate and the Environment, is arguing that the environmental politics has to change fundamentally in order to be effective. Henrik Smith, coordinator of BECC at Lund University, and Olof Johansson-Stenman, University of Gothenburg, are two of the 12 authors o

Today's Great Explorers

Lund University has collected the top research of the university's twelve strategic reseach environments in a new book. BECC is one of these environments. In 2008, the Swedish Government designated 20 ‘Strategic Research Areas’ (SRAs) in its research-policy bill. Within these 20 areas, 43 research environments were chosen for specific funding in a special evaluation in 2009. They were all conducti

Special Oikos volume: Phenological change and ecological interactions

The special volume "Phenological change and ecological interactions" is edited by BECC-researchers Jacob Johansson, Jan-Åke Nilsson and Niclas Jonzén. Changes in the seasonal timing of biological events, e.g. flowering or bird migration, are well documented effects of recent climate change. There is widespread concern that such changes may disrupt important ecological interactions such as pollinat

New article about climate change effects on soil nitrogen dynamics

A recent review article in Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems proposed a new conceptual model on nitrogen (N) cycle responses to elevated CO2: gross N mineralization is stimulated in N-limited ecosystems only, but not in phosphorus limited ones. Authors are BECC researchers Tobias Rütting and Louise C. Andresen. The researchers have conducted a meta-analysis on gross N transformations in free air

Lost genes make fungi dependent on trees

A new research study has shed light on the underground interaction between tree roots and fungi. In order to understand how this important symbiosis came about, an international team of researchers have sequenced the genomes of different fungi that live underground. The study shows that in the course of evolution, the symbiotic fungi have lost many genes present in their free-living ancestors, and
