Clearcutting is often considered negative for biodiversity, which is why continuous cover forestry is seen as a more favourable alternative. But could it be that clearcutting - with proper management from a landscape perspective - could favour certain species? Recently, it has become increasingly common to find birds and butterflies on clearcuts, species that normally thrive in areas such as hayfi

How can the climate movement continue its struggle and be a force for change in the light of other current crises such as social and economic injustices, inequalities and pandemics?

Despite harsher sentences and increased resources for the criminal justice system, research shows nothing to indicate that this leads to reduced criminality. “We wanted to problematise the notion that punishment is the best option,” says Tova Bennet, researcher in Criminal Law at Lund University. Over the past 15 years, tougher sentencing has been a popular tool in Swedish law and order politics.

During the winter, the Sustainability Fund opened a call for proposals to test solutions to sustainability challenges in the organisation. Lund University is deeply committed to its sustainability strategy and sustainability plan, aiming for remarkable achievements in this area. We know that change requires new ideas.

When you start teaching using the flipped classroom or make use of digital media to free up time for more active student participation methods in the classroom, you might sometimes feel that it is difficult to come up with meaningful activities for the students to spend time on now that there is a time surplus in the classroom, especially if you were previously used to lecturing for a large propor

New research highlights how coastal planning and environmental restoration overlook social needs, cultural claims and existing vulnerabilities. Using Louisiana’s coastal wetlands as a case, researcher David O’Byrne argues that it is high time to turn away from a narrowly economic approach to coastal restoration, and i

Vegan food is often sidestepped due to its rubbery consistency. Food technology researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now developed a way to make vegan food more appetising by using new combinations of raw materials. So far, the research field for plant-based meat imitations, known as meat analogues, has been very small - but is now set to “explode”. The team at Lund is among those that ha

Passion, creativity and community. That’s the essence of an ongoing craft trend, according to organisational researcher and homebrewer Stephan Schaefer. “Craft is a timeless form of work that has always been important for human development. But craft is not static. It adapts and develops to fit our modern times. This is an important message and something that companies can learn from,” he says. St

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.

A research group at Lund University has studied how a molecular sensor located in the blood vessel wall, controls how the vessel compensates for high blood pressure. As we age, the sensor deteriorates, which can worsen vascular damage caused by high blood pressure and consequently lead to secondary diseases affecting the heart, brain, or other organs. In mice, the researchers demonstrate that the

Faster, more efficient, thinner, more energy-saving! These are some of the watchwords used in the development of better mobiles, solar cells and LED lighting. The common denominator for improving transistors in electronics or lighting diodes are ultra-small semi-conductors known as nanowires.

The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation is investing over SEK 3 billion in research that creates the conditions for a sustainable society. This will be done by developing new and improved materials and manufacturing processes, which, among other things, aim at better technology for the energy systems of the future and the control of pollution and toxic emissions. In addition, an increased investm
