Mertid är den arbetstid som en deltidsanställd arbetar utöver sin ordinarie arbetstid, men inom heltidsmåttet. Mertidstillägg betalas inte för kortare tid än 15 minuter i följd.Från och med den 1 januari 2026 gäller nya bestämmelser om ersättning för mertid enligt det centrala kollektivavtalet Villkorsavtalet/Villkorsavtalet-T. Syftet är att harmonisera reglerna med EU-rätten och skapa likvärdig e

Universitetet och de lokala arbetstagarorganisationerna har enats om ett nytt kollektivavtal som reglerar arbetstiden för forskare och biträdande forskare. Avtalet träder i kraft den 1 januari 2026 och innebär att dessa grupper övergår till årsarbetstid i stället för att omfattas av flextidsavtalet. Avtalet gäller alla forskare och biträdande forskare, med undantag för de forskare som är anställda

Tropical rainforests have long been considered the Earth’s lungs, sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and thereby slowing down the increasing greenhouse effect and associated human-made climate change. Scientists in a global research project now show that the vast extensions of semi-arid landscapes occupying the transition zone between rainforest and desert dominate th

The photosynthesis of tropical species in montane rain forest is very sensitive to high temperature which means high-altitude rain forests are particularly under threat by global warming. This has been shown by researchers from the University of Gothenburg in a study published in the journal New Phytologist. An increase in temperature usually stimulates photosynthesis and growth for plants at our

The rapidly rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere affect plants’ absorption of nitrogen, which is the nutrient that restricts crop growth in most terrestrial ecosystems. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have now revealed that the concentration of nitrogen in plants’ tissue is lower in air with high levels of carbon dioxide, regardless of whether or not the plants’ growth is

Can the loss of biodiversity slow down if one exposes its economic value? In a study recently published in the scientific journal Nature Communications, the scientists show that among the many thousands of species of bees in the world, only a few species are of economic importance for agriculture. The most common pollinators of crops can be promoted by relatively simple measures in agricultural la

Researchers from Lund University, Sweden, and USA have shown that our understanding of how organic material is decomposed by fungi and bacteria is fundamentally wrong. This means that climate models that include microorganisms to estimate future climate change must be reconsidered. When a plant dies, its leaves and branches fall to the ground. Decomposition of soil organic matter is then mainly ca
