The carbon and nitrogen losses attributable to forest fires are much larger than was previously thought. This has now been shown by an extensive study that has compiled fire experiments from around the world. It is not just vegetation that is lost in forest fires. When a forest burns, there is also an impact on the soil, through the loss of carbon and other nutrients. This loss of nutrients can ne

Two new research projects will shortly begin at Lund University in Sweden to investigate how particle emissions from spruce forests affect the climate. The trees’ emissions of reactive hydrocarbons are thought to have a cooling effect on the climate. Almost 70 per cent of land in Sweden is covered with forest, mainly commercially managed coniferous forest. The forests play a central role in affect

At least three members of our staff have been interviewed in different media outlets as experts in their field. Professor Emeritus Anders Lindroth was interviewed in Dagens ETC about greenhouse gases and harmful emissions. “Absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is the only way we can achieve the two-degree goal. We need negative emissions and must absorb more carbon dioxide than we release,

Actic expeditions - very expensive as well as time consuming and sometimes dangerous. Researchers Hakim Abdi and Daniel Metcalfe about unevenly distributed research. The Arctic is a remote and hard to reach area, which affects where research expeditions go and where climate scientists set up their field experiments. "The result is an extremely uneven concentration of research effort", states Hakim

VIDEO: Researchers from our department are measuring terpene particles emitted by spruce/fir forests, which are believed to have a cooling effect on the climate. They believe that planting more of this type of forest could help offset global warming. – Planting spruce forests could increase the carbon uptake. They would release aerosol particles which have a cooling effect on the earth, Janne Rinn

Climate change causes an amplified warming of the Arctic, which may lead to the release of methane from previously frozen soils. Since it’s a strong greenhouse gas, arctic methane release can act as a positive feedback on climate change. However, anthropogenic efforts to reduce methane emissions may be more important for the direction of future climate warming. Torben R. Christensen and Frans-Jan
