Hur vi känner inför naturen påverkar vilka trädgårdsinsatser vi väljer och hur mycket de faktiskt hjälper pollinatörer. I en ny studie från Lunds universitet blir sambandet extra tydligt mot bakgrund av samhällets omfattande urbanisering, där både gröna ytor och människors praktiska naturkontakt minskar. Forskarna visar också att trädgårdar blir mest värdefulla när långlivade planteringar priorite

What can be done about the fact that more Ukrainian civilians die in traffic accidents than from Russian bombs? How is it that trains run on time – even though Ukraine is at war? And how do you rebuild a country that wants to move beyond the old Soviet structures, with a green transition in sight? These were some of the topics of discussion when a ministerial delegation from Ukraine visited LTH. I

Ouyang Yuan defends her Ph.D. thesis on 14 October 2022. As a medical student with a longstanding interest in blood malignancies, her research has focused on better understanding the development of a specific type of blood cancer, acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The hope is that these findings will help lead to a better understanding of AML and future treatments that can one day prevent, delay, or c

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. De senaste decennierna har klimatet i Sverige blivit omkring två grader varmare i genomsnitt och i år har vi kunnat se en rekordmild vinter och tidig vår. Hur svarar då naturen – djur, insekter, växter – på ett allt mildare klimat? Forskare i Lund kan ge svar. Bland annat visar en alldeles färsk studie att vegetatio

Stadsplanerare har det inte helt lätt. Städer måste byggas tätare eftersom omgivande jordbruksmark och natur måste skyddas - samtidigt som hälsokraven är högt ställda. Under fem år har forskare närstuderat förtätningsplaner i tre städer och hittat nycklar till hur den svåra ekvationen kan lösas. Lösningen är i korthet att fokusera på invånarnas välmående samt att inte bara följa befintliga standar

The sharing economy is altering the way we look at ourselves as consumers and our idea of the market, but it also raises other questions: what role should the city take in this, and how can we ensure that the result is truly sustainable

Extreme weather poses a big threat to birds. Yet there is a lack of both knowledge and methods for measuring its negative effects. In a new study, researchers from Lund University in Sweden have identified knowledge gaps and propose practical tools for analysing the risks to birds.

In March 2015, a valuable globe of Mars was stolen from the Astronomy Library. After disappearing without a trace for almost a decade, it suddenly turned up at an antique dealer in Stockholm. The astronomical treasure has finally been returned to Lund. Astronomers have been using globes to visualise moons and planets ever since the 18th century. As telescopes improved in the late 19th century, int

It takes a long time, up to several decades, before the benefits of organic farming take full effect on land that was previously cultivated conventionally, a new study from Lund University suggests. After thirty years, the plant species richness around the cultivated crop had doubled on organic farms compared to conventional farms. It is well known that organic farming benefits biodiversity and ca
