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

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
