Can agriculture shift to perennial grain crops?

Perennial crops have the potential to reduce the need for ploughing and pesticides, which in turn can lead to reduced soil degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. Recently, a unique research infrastructure that has the potential to transform agriculture was inaugurated by the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science and LUCSUS, in collaboration with SLU Alnarp. The new facility, fu

Sustainable construction: How fungi research at Lund University could revolutionise infrastructure repair

Much of the world's infrastructure is made of concrete, which presents a challenge when it cracks and needs repair. Traditional repair methods involve cutting away a large amount of material. Now researchers at Lund University are investigating an innovative solution: using fungi to mend concrete. This groundbreaking research got off the ground with a Sustainable Idea Exploration grant and support

Flyttfåglar tar längre flygturer för att ge sina ungar en bättre start i livet

Klimatförändringar gör att våren kommer tidigare. Men flyttfåglarna hänger inte med i svängarna och kommer för sent till födan när de ska häcka. Genom att få fåglarna att flyga lite längre norrut har forskare i Lund och i Nederländerna sett att fåglarna kan ge sina ungar en bättre start i livet. Den globala uppvärmningen ställer till det för våra fåglar. Varmare vårar betyder att fjärilslarver klä

Dammsugareffekt hos svampar kan hålla nanoplastpartiklar i schack

Genom att använda mikrodesignade jordmodeller har forskare vid Lunds universitet undersökt hur pyttesmå partiklar av polystyren påverkar bakterier och svampar. Trots att denna nanoplast minskade både bakterie- och svamptillväxten lyckades svampen faktiskt ”städa upp” i sin omgivning och mildra plastens påverkan. – Plastavfall är ett enormt problem idag. Oavsett om det slängs nonchalant i naturen,

Omvänd Ikaroseffekt kan ligga bakom flyttfåglarnas extrema flyghöjder

Långflyttande fåglar som flyger flera dagar i sträck skiftar höjd under dygnet, ett beteende som hittills inte har gått att förklara. Men nu är forskare i Lund ett steg närmare gåtans lösning. Mycket tyder på att djuren stiger till extrema höjder dagtid för att kyla ner sig. Tidigare studier har visat att dubbelbeckasiner och trastsångare – två långflyttande fåglar som övervintrar söder om Sahara

Kallare klimat och syrerika havsströmmar lade grund för moderna marina ekosystem

Förändringar i syresättning och klimat hade fundamental betydelse för marina miljöer och ekosystem under en av de mest omvälvande tiderna i livets utveckling. Det visar en ny studie där forskare analyserat jod och kalcium i kalkstensprover från Sverige, Estland och Ryssland. Det har länge spekulerats kring storskaliga samband mellan biodiversitet och syretillgång under livets tidiga utvecklingshis
