Researchers at Lund University have produced the most detailed map of carbon emissions from Swedish forest fires to date. The results show that the largest emissions occur below the ground surface, in peat and organic soils. During the extremely hot summer of 2018, 324 forest fires were reported in Sweden. Using field measurements, models, and data from the Swedish Forest Agency, the Swedish Envir

Do you have a lot of ideas but nobody and no time to pursue them? Do as Nicole van Der Burg and get an intern through Jobbsprånget ("job leap"). Why did you apply to Jobbsprånget?– As a small lab we have a lot of big ideas with hardly any free time to pursue them, especially with patients sample collection taking up half our week. We knew that if we had a little more time to get some preliminary d

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An

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

Lundaforskare har tagit fram en modell som från rymdobservationer kan beräkna enskilda länders koldioxidutsläpp. De nya resultaten kan bli användbara i arbetet med de satelliter som EU de kommande åren ska skicka iväg inom jordövervakningsprogrammet Copernicus. Vid klimattoppmötet COP26 enades världens länder om ett nytt dokument som för första gången nämner avveckling av kol och fossila bränslen.
