Wild insect pollinators are essential to cultivated and natural ecosystems globally. Today, many pollinator species are declining. One reason is a general lack of flowering habitats at landscape scales. However, urban areas, including private gardens, may provide flowers, and constitute beneficial habitats for pollinators. Here, we evaluate the ecological outcomes of a citizen science campaign run
Phosphorus (P) availability affects the response of terrestrial ecosystems to environmental and climate change (e.g., elevated CO2), yet the magnitude of this effect remains uncertain. This uncertainty arises mainly from a lack of quantitative understanding of the soil biological and geochemical P cycling processes, particularly the P exchange with soil mineral surfaces, which is often described b
Homeowners are facing worse personal finances with high inflation and increasing interest rates. New groups are at risk of overindebtedness and foreclosure. The entire household, including children, are affected by worse health and well-being. This leads to large societal costs. Hence, it is imperative to break the negative cycle of overindebtedness for these households. Foreclosure is enforced by
Denna rapport är en sammanställning och analys av kunskapsläget när det gäller ekosystembaserade metoder för att minska utsläpp och öka upptag av koldioxid hos brukade marker i Skåne. Med fokus på markanvändning och skötselstrategier inom jordbruk och skogsbruk, samt användning av biokol, analyseras och bedöms potentialen för att inom Skånes gränser öka upptag respektive minska utsläpp av kol från
The Long-Term Global Goal (LTGG) is the focal point for addressing future climate change. This paper explores a specific institutional context: the Structured Expert Dialogue (SED) of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Set up as a platform for interaction between experts and UN negotiators, the SED is a site where scientific information about the LTGG and net-zero was translat
To ensure that cities and urban ecosystems support human wellbeing and overall quality of life we need conceptual frameworks that can connect different scientific disciplines as well as research and practice. In this perspective, we explore the potential of a traits framework for understanding social-ecological patterns, dynamics, interactions, and tipping points in complex urban systems. To do so
Background: This project plan proposes a new learning activity and assessment model of medical students' empathy and communication skills. An empathic ability and communication skills are crucial in a student future role as a physician. Empathy and communication skills are also Entrustable Professional Activities in most undergraduate medical educational programs1.Method: The students are first in
Interactions between microbiomes and metabolites play crucial roles in the environment, yet how these interactions drive greenhouse gas emissions during ecosystem changes remains unclear. Here we analysed microbial and metabolite composition across a permafrost thaw gradient in Stordalen Mire, Sweden, using paired genome-resolved metagenomics and high-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron res
Slight modifications to the manufacturer’s protocol (Qiagen #12966-10, now discontinued and replaced with #12988-10) enabled the successful extraction of high-quality DNA and RNA from permafrost peat samples. Integrating the DNA and RNA purification steps immediately after the extraction process helped streamline the workflow, resulting in consistent quality nucleic acids suitable for downstream s
Soil microorganisms are pivotal in the global carbon cycle, but the viruses that affect them and their impact on ecosystems are less understood. In this study, we explored the diversity, dynamics, and ecology of soil viruses through 379 metagenomes collected annually from 2010 to 2017. These samples spanned the seasonally thawed active layer of a permafrost thaw gradient, which included palsa, bog
Permanent ponds represent key landscape components that support biodiversity and supply various ecosystem services. Notably, the export of aquatic subsidies to land via emerging insects, may significantly influence terrestrial food webs. Various factors, including eutrophication, can influence these exports. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which greatly enhance consumer fitness, are among the
Arctic tundra ecosystems store a significant proportion of the global soil organic carbon (C). However, warming-induced shrub encroachment and reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.) grazing regimes promoting graminoid vegetation may strongly influence tundra soil C stability. Here, we studied how reindeer grazing intensity and experimental warming affect soil C stabilization in a tundra ecosystem. We hyp
This paper explores how pedagogical beliefs are challenged in everyday encounters, particularly when someone in an educational relationship acts unexpectedly.

Abstract The increased focus on social capital theory has made its way into labour economics. This has led to the creation of a vast literature about the use of networks and informal search methods in the labour-market, a literature that to some extent also deals with immigrants search behaviour and their relatively high unemployment rate. Characteristic for the literature in the area is the lack
The paper outlines a comprehensive set of recommendations, advocating for a systems thinking approach and acknowledging the importance of engaging with the entire food system.Embracing protein diversification fosters innovation, has the potential to create substantial economic opportunities and position EU Member States at the forefront of rapidly evolving sectors spanning and integrating biotechn
After a tank has been exposed to crash violence, or an external fire, it might, in some situations, be judged dangerous to move the vessel due to the risk of a sudden tank rupture. Therefore, Swedish rescue services have a long history of using rifles to penetrate and therefore depressurize the vessels. In this paper, some first steps on providing guidance on the selection of ammunition and requirAfter a tank has been exposed to crash violence, or an external fire, it might, in some situations, be judged dangerous to move the vessel due to the risk of a sudden tank rupture.

Understanding and addressing the complex societal sustainability challenges requires applying novel approaches, devising innovative assessment frameworks, and adopting methods and tools from other research fields. Dr Jagdeep Singh has been conducting inter- and trans-disciplinary research on these challenges impacting academia and society. He has pursued university degrees in Electrical Engineerin
The phyllosphere, particularly the leaf surface of plants, harbors a diverse range of microbiomes that play a vital role in the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. However, our understanding of microbial successions and their impact on functional genes during plant community development is limited. In this study, considering core and satellite microbial taxa, we characterized the phyllosphere m
