Klimatförändringarna förändrar de kallaste regionerna på vår planet i en aldrig tidigare skådad takt. Ändå förbises ofta en av de viktigaste faktorerna som styr hur inlandsisar, glaciärer och permafrost reagerar: snön. Detta ska ett nytt EU-projekt råda bot på. SnowPI (Polar Snow, Permafrost and Inland Ice in a Changing World) är ett nystartat forskningsprojekt inom EU:s forskningsprogram Horisont

I studien har 23 skogsägare i södra Sverige intervjuats. Många av skogsägarna har en tydlig och känslomässig relation till sin skog, so

En ny studie från Lunds universitet visar att förändrad markanvändning inte bara minskar antalet insekter – den ökar även risken för inavel bland svenska fjärilar. Detta gäller särskilt arter med specifika krav på livsmiljöer, vilket kan få allvarliga konsekvenser för deras långsiktiga överlevnad. Artikeln publicerades ursprungligen den 13 augusti 2025 på naturvetenskapliga fakultetens webbplats.
