Tropical forest canopies play a crucial role in the biosphere’s carbon, water, and energy cycles. Despite this, they are often treated as uniform in climate system models. A new study now reveals that canopy traits vary significantly across different regions, which could have major implications for how we understand and model forest functions in a changing climate. By combining field data from ove

We present empirical work

Business travel at the University took off again in November last year compared with the same month the year before. More business trips could mean that the University’s climate footprint is increasing again and that the drop seen in 2020 was a one-off phenomenon. For a time last autumn, the pandemic restrictions were eased and people started to travel again. Some employees made the most of the op

Nya studier från Lunds universitet visar att miljöföroreningen med PFAS i Ronneby, sannolikt startade tidigare än man trott. Med hjälp av blod från Sveriges PKU-biobank* har forskare hittat förhöjda PFAS-nivåer hos barn födda 1985, vars mammor bodde i området före sin graviditet. De nya forskningsresultaten tyder därför på att föroreningen startade före 1985. Ny forskning från Lunds universitet in
