Gamla naturskogar är hotade av avverkning, skyddet är lågt och avverkningstakten är hög, inte minst i Sverige. Även skyddade skogar är i fara, och EU är på väg att misslyckas att nå sina mål, skriver forskare från Europa och USA i en debattartikel i Science. Anders Ahlström från INES är en av dem. Hotet mot Europas gamla naturskogar, rika också på biomassa, har ökat med de stigande priserna och av

SVT har intervjuat Anders Lindroth om de långtidsmätningar av skogens koldioxidupptag som ICOS och institutionens forskare bedriver utanför Perstorp i norra Skåne. Tidigare mätningar har visat att torkan 2018 minskade koldioxidupptaget i södra skogar, medan tallskogar i norr klarade sig bättre. Årets torka påverkar nu pågående mätningar, och forskarna följer utvecklingen noga. Sveriges Television

Fleråriga grödor har potential att minska behovet av plöjning och bekämpningsmedel, vilket i sin tur kan leda till minskad markförstöring och utsläpp av växthusgaser. Nyligen invigdes en unik forskningsinfrastruktur som har potential att transformera jordbruket av Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap och LUCSUS, i samarbete med SLU Alnarp. Den nya anläggningen, finansierad av Eur

Lina Eklund har intervjuats av flera nyhetskanaler för sin bevakning av kriget på Gazaremsan med hjälp av satellitbilder. Hör henne berätta i klippet nedan. Här visar och berättar forskaren Lina Eklund om vad de ser på satellitbilderna från Gaza. – Det som sticker ut är den omfattande förstörelsen på en väldigt liten yta och på väldigt kort tid, säger hon till SVT.SVT nyheter: Lundaforskare bevaka

INTERACT har tidigare varit en viktig aktör i forskningen runtom i Arktis, och kunskaperna därifrån går nu vidare in i POLARIN, med EU-finansiering på 163 miljoner SEK (14.6 million euros) över 5 år. Nytt i POLARIN är att Antarktis involveras, och att infrastrukturen utökas också med isbrytare. För Lunds universitets del är Margareta Johansson koordinerande. Officiellt sjösattes POLARIN den 1 mars

Afrika är, trots sin stora yta och därmed stora påverkan på den globala kolcykeln, relativt outforskat med avseende på ekosystemfunktioner och påverkan på klimatförändringar. Nu visar en ny in situ-studie under 2010-2022, att Sahelområdet har förlorat mycket av sin kraft som kolsänka under den undersökta tidsperioden. Afrika är, trots sin stora yta och därmed stora påverkan på den globala kolcykel

We expect a change in labour legislation that comes into force on 1 October this year. What is happening in the autumn is that general fixed-term employment, which is all fixed-term employment including hourly, but not temporary employment, disappears as a form of employment and is replaced by special fixed-term employment (Särskild visstidsanställning – SÄVA). The new preferential right requires

Finally! We are now (almost) at the execution phase of the ventilation project in the Ecology building! Years of planning and discovering that “nobody thought of this” have hopefully prepared us as much as possible for what is going to happen. So what will actually happen? The entire ventilation system at the Ecology building attic will be exchanged for a new one! Half this summer, and the other h

The basis of the legislation is that permanent employment becomes an even stronger norm and fixed-term employment is more quickly converted to permanent employment. The time is 1 year of fixed-term employment instead of the previous 2 years and is counted retroactively from the first of March this year. What do the new rules mean for our various employment types?General fixed-term employment (ALVA

We have now created two new pages – one Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and one web version of our strategic plan. The FAQ is mainly intended for younger researchers at the department who are responsible for their own grants. Other people may also have good use of the FAQ, so please do check it out. Our strategic plan is converted into a web version which makes it more readable, easier to find an

The old site where we were supposed to gather in case of a fire alarm, at the so-called assembly point, at the parking lot in front of Naturvetarvägen 6A has been moved to the lawn between the Ecology Building and the Biology Building, near the small bridge over our stream. You will find instructions about what to do in case of a fire on our fire web page.

In an effort to reduce electricity prices ahead of the coming winter, the government is asking all authorities to save as much energy as possible. We, therefore, need to review our energy use and see where we can save. If we all chip in and save, the risk of planned power cuts during the winter is reduced.

Only one month is left until we shut down parts of the Ecology building for this summer’s ventilation project! With a few exceptions, buildings B and F will be closed during June, July and August. If you want to access those parts of the building for something temporary, like picking something up, that’s ok. But we want you to do it from 09.00-15.00 on weekdays. If you want to access the freezer c

The summer is approaching and we want to draw your attention to the fact that it is high time to start planning for matters that need to be completed before the summer vacations. As employment matters are handled by both department and faculty, the dates become especially important when staffing is low.
