Changes in land use have been highlighted as one of the main reasons for the global decline of insects. New research from Lund University, which examined three common Swedish grassland butterflies, shows that changes in land use not only reduce insect numbers. The loss of habitat can also lead to increased inbreeding, especially among specialised species that find it increasingly difficult to move

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere vary naturally between ice ages and interglacial periods. A new study by researchers and BECC-members at the University of Gothenburg and Lund University, among others, shows that an unexpectedly large proportion of carbon dioxide emissions after the ice age may have come from thawing permafrost. For a long time, it was the shifts between ice ages and interg

By combining satellite data, mathematical and statistical ecosystem modeling, and artificial intelligence, it is now possible to generate earlier and more reliable crop yield forecasts—an essential step toward ensuring future food security in a changing climate. This is demonstrated in a new doctoral thesis by Xueying Li, PhD at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science, and membe

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
