Skelettskogar breder ut sig – forskare ser lösning i blandskog Skelettskogar och värme – så påverkar granbarkborren skogen. Fler lövträd kan göra skogarna mer motståndskraftiga, visar ny forskning.

Varmare och torrare somrar gör skogarna mer sårbara för granbarkborrar. En ny studie av bl a Caroline Greiser, Stockholms univ, visar att angreppen höjer temperaturen i drabbade områden. Men lövträd pekas ut som lösningen på uppvärmningseffekten. @bolincentre.bsky.social www.svt.se/nyheter/loka...

The team at our research site in the alps

📣 New PhD student position opening in my lab!
Soils are full of microbes, but how many are active?
Surprisingly, we still lack reliable methods to answer this.
If you are interested in microbial dormancy and are fascinated by the Alps and glacier forefields, contact me.

Our ability to predict how biology will feed back to climate change relies on our ability to convert biological insights into mathematica formulations that can be scaled up in structured ways, within the context of Earth System Models (ESMs)...

A huge thank you to everyone that joined us at the first day of the re-launch & 75th Anniversary of the journal #Tellus! 🫶

Brilliant presentations, and we are more than excited for what day two will bring tomorrow. 🌍

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.
