This chapter explores feminist activism during and after the so-called Arab Spring, a transformative event that brought new challenges and a new political environment for feminist activists. At first, the overthrow of old regimes raised hopes for a more open and liberated society, but these hopes did not last long. Feminist organizations in countries such as Egypt and Tunisia have faced state repr

Researcher Patrik Vestin writes in a " news and views " article in Nature that the woody surfaces of trees may take up methane on a scale of global importance. This is a missing piece in the estimation of global methane budgets, and hence in climate models. Future research should involve not just stems and trunks, but also leaves and small branches to get a fuller picture. Forests play a crucial r

Africa, despite its large area and thus large impact on the global carbon cycle, is relatively unexplored with respect to ecosystem functions and impact on climate change. Now one of few in situ studies over a long period of time, 2010-2022, shows that the Sahel area has lost a lot of its power as a carbon sink during the time period examined. Africa, despite its large area and thus large impact o

Allowing nature to cover up after human activities, known as rewilding, has several benefits. It improves the resilience of ecosystems, increases biodiversity and favours the interaction between nature and society. This is according to a new study from Lund University. Rewilding is a method that aims to re-establish animal and plant species that have disappeared from a particular area. In a new st

Växter har ett kemiskt försvar som gör att de släpper ut vissa ämnen vid exempelvis insektsangrepp. Nu visar en studie med forskare från Lunds universitet att växternas utsläpp kan vara många gånger större om angreppen sker i varmare klimat. Hur utsläppen av dessa ämnen förändras i framtiden och vilka effekter de har på ekosystemet måste tas med i klimatdiskussionen, menar forskarna bakom studien.
