That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected. This is shown in a new study from Lund University. The EAT–Lancet diet is a global dietary guideline developed to promote both human health

Eldhärjade skogsområden i Norden fortsätter att avge koldioxid långt efter att lågorna slocknat. Utsläppen är till och med betydligt högre efter en brand, än medan den pågår. Det visar en ny unik studie från Lunds universitet, där effekten av den omfattande skogsbranden i Ljusdal den torra sommaren 2018 har studerats. Att klimatförändringen, med stigande temperaturer som följd, ökar risken för sko

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The question of how small, dwarf galaxies have sustained the formation of new stars over the course of the Universe has long confounded the world’s astronomers. An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has found that dormant small galaxies can slowly accumulate gas over many billions of years. W
