This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The theme of the ClimBEco annual meeting was “Multidisciplinary learning environments – seizing their opportunities and avoiding their pitfalls”. After an icebreaker that included seeing some sweet ‘corona-pets’ in the screens, we brought ourselves onto the level of metaphysics and the multiple ways of knowing about t

Photochemical smog, including tropospheric ozone and fine particles, is an important environmental concern over large parts of the world with strong connections to climate change climate policies. Especially in densely populated regions of the world with fast growing economies, such as China and India, there is a great risk for rising levels of air pollutants such as ozone with important environme

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. BECC researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered the individual traits of fungi, and how their hyphae – that is, the fungal threads that grow in soil - behave very differently as they navigate through the earth’s microscopic labyrinths. The study was performed in a lab environment, and the underground sys

The movie "The Bee Effect" is a movie about pollinators, the changes in the agricultural landscape and human impact. Researcher Maj Rundlöf is one of the interviewed researchers in the movie, which can be seen on SVT Play. About the movie:"In recent years there has been a dramatic reduction of pollinators, mainly due to pesticides, diseases and changes in the agricultural landscape. If this trend

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The Swedish government has on 20 May 2021 decided on an assignment to the Swedish Forestry Agency to start re-wetting drained peatlands to reduce the amount of climate gases. This decision is based on the government inquiry “Vägen till en klimatpositiv framtid” (SOU2020:4). Findings from BECC-researchers, among others

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The forest is currently at the centre of an intense debate. It concerns, in simplified terms, which climate benefits the forest can provide, either by sequestering carbon in standing forest, or by being used to substitute fossil fuels and fossil-intensive materials. In a new literature review from the Centre for Envir

As the holiday season approaches, we would like to extend our warmest wishes to you all.    After last year’s restrictive situation we are so happy to have been able to meet in person during 2022. Even so there are lessons to be learned and we are therefore staying partly with digital formats that work well. Here are some highlights from the past year: AI related Degree Project fairs both in Helsi

The first call for applications, Sustainable Idea Exploration, within the University’s Sustainability Fund opened during the autumn. The aim is to explore the innovative potential of sustainability-related research projects at an early stage. Four projects have now been granted funding. One of the projekts addresses text mining for environmental science and was applied for by Sonja Aits, Departmen

Patients are often asked to rate their feelings using a rating scale, when talking to psychologists or doctors about their mental health. This is currently how depression and anxiety are diagnosed. However, a new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that allowing patients to describe their experience using their own words - is potentially viewed as more precise and preferred by the patients.

Today, Monday 26 January, the new report "Klimatsäkrat Skåne" will be launched. The report is a knowledge review and analysis of Skåne's climate work including opportunities and challenges. The launch event focuses on three panel discussions on how we should make our society less vulnerable to climate change, how we use ecosystem services and the implications of climate change for business.

On the 13th of January 2015 the workshop "Science of Decision Making in Research" was held. You can now find both presentations and videos from the workshop. The workshop hosted 19 participants from different departments and universities. An ambition was to create contact points between BECC projects working with multi-criteria decision making and stimulate methodological discussions. The presenta

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

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

A new report shows that restored wetlands can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. BECC researchers Åsa Kasimir and Leif Klemedtsson at the University of Gothenburg are two of the authors. Drained peatland is a major source of greenhouse gases.

30 years of study of several hundred plots (obsytor) in Swedish forests have followed the developments of forest damage. The result is a unique material about the effects of air pollution on the forest and its ecosystems up to 2013. BECC researcher Cecilia Akselsson, Lund University, has led the evaluation and Per Erik Karlsson, IVL, is one of the other co-authors of the report. Skogsstyrelsen sta
