A lot of research on human behaviour is based entirely on words: researchers read, ask questions, send out questionnaires and write reports. But this means they miss a lot of elements concerning sound, sights and people’s interaction with their physical surroundings. Devrim Umut Aslan wants to study consumers’ attitud

For decades, the Swedish forest have been intensely managed through clear-cutting and tree planting to maximize wood production. This type of management has created a strong culture and tradition where foresters feel that it is difficult to gain knowledge about, and support for, other forest management methods, for instance continuous cover forestry. This is according to researchers at LUCSUS who

Small passerine birds, such as blue and great tits, avoid breeding in urban areas where there are many non-native trees. Chicks also weigh less the more non-native trees there are in the vicinity of the nest. This is shown in a long-term study from Lund University, Sweden. City trees contribute to several important ecosystem services such as lowering local temperature and purifying air but are als
