För att möta framtidens utmaningar inom stadsutvecklingen och det stora behovet av fler bostäder, sker förtätning av städerna. Detta är en viktig fråga för en framtida hållbar stadsplanering. Förtätning av städer görs ofta genom att expandera bostadsområden in i gamla förorenade industriområden. Trots större statsanslag för sanering, har vi med nuvarande takt inte kunnat uppnå det nationella miljö

After climate change, biodiversity loss is the biggest environmental challenge facing the world today. The loss of plant and animal species also means a loss of the resources that humans obtain from well-functioning ecosystems. At Lund University, a project is underway in which researchers are studying how work to counteract these losses is carried out with so-called green infrastructure. In today

Sweden does not need more cattle to save natural grazing land with high biodiversity. This is the conclusion of a new report by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. What is needed instead, according to the researchers, are economic incentives that make natural grazing profitable. Natural grazing land is a central part of the Swedish cultural landscape and important for biodiversity. Grazing a

In recent decades, the climate in Sweden has become about two degrees warmer on average and this year we have seen an unprecedentedly mild winter and early spring. How is nature responding – animals, insects, plants – to an increasingly mild climate? Researchers in Lund can provide the answer. Among other things, a new study shows that greenery in Sweden begins to appear between one to two weeks e

A study from Lund University indicates that the flora of Skåne in southern Sweden changed drastically throughout the 1900s and up to the present day. The greatest decline in species diversity can be seen in forested areas in the northern and central parts of Skåne. “I was surprised that climate change has had the biggest impact”, says researcher Torbjörn Tyler of Lund University. The researchers’

The graduate research schools ClimBEco and the Bolin Centre Climate Research School (CRS) have recently initiated a collaboration with multiple climate-focused intentions. The joint activities will strengthen the course curriculum and network possibilities for the respective PhD students and contribute to the advancement of the climate and biodiversity research front.  “This is a fantastic way to

A unique study has analyzed in detail how EU agricultural subsidies flow down to the local level. The new data show that most income support payments go to intensively farmed regions already above median EU income, while climate-friendly and biodiverse farming regions, as well as poorer regions, are insufficiently funded. Consequently, the majority of payments are going to the regions causing the

Population density, and not the proportion of green spaces, has the biggest impact on species richness of pollinators in residential areas. This is the result of a study from Lund University in Sweden of gardens and residential courtyards in and around Malmö, Sweden. The result surprised the researchers, who had expected that the vegetation cover would be more significant.“We have found that, in c

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden can now reveal what the Danish King Hans had planned to offer when laying claim to the Swedish throne in 1495: a two-metre-long Atlantic sturgeon. The well-preserved fish remains were found in a wreck on the bottom of the Baltic Sea last year, and species identification was made possible through DNA analysis. At midsummer in 1495, the Danish King Hans was e

The climate crisis has received less media coverage during the corona pandemic despite that many think the climate challenges demand equally urgent attention. During the coming two weeks the United Nations gather the world in the Climate Dialogues 2020 “to increase the momentum for greater climate ambition” in an online format. Our climate researcher Markku Rummukainen comments on the event. When

Researchers at the Pufendorf Institute are working together in a Theme about Invasive Alien Plants, and are interested in finding out how the public, as well as experts, regard different plants in private gardens as well as in public spaces. Why are certain plants defined as more desirable than others, by whom, and how? Researchers now want to get help from the public to get a better understanding

The forest investigation recently submitted to the Swedish government gives suggestions on creating synergies between international and national commitments on biodiversity and a growing circular bioeconomy. A new report by CEC researchers concludes that forests and forestry also play multiple, key roles for climate change mitigation. The new report provides knowledge relevant for land users and p

2020 will be remembered as the year when the coronavirus paralysed the world. At the same time, the negative effect of climate change became increasingly apparent, and the pleas to listen to the scientist and the calls for action became even more urgent. What changes for the climate do researchers want to see in 2021? Researchers in climate and sustainability at Lund University list their hopes an
