Greetings from (parts of) the BECC board! We are on a two-day-retreat in Höör to work intensely with our future research strategy. Grateful for all the input we've had from our members, Scientific Advisory Board and Stakeholder Reference Group!

Tumbling between denial, rubbles and hope - Lund botanical garden's interactive exhibition of the Broken Greenhouses touched me deeply. Based on the UN's climate scenarios for 2100, created by MBigert and LBergström, involving amongst others my dear BECC colleague matsbjörkman. Really worth a visit!

Exciting postdoc opportunity with Milda Pucetaite and us in the Soilchip group: Become the spectroscopy expert in our multimodal fungal recognition project within our interdisciplinary VR research environment:) lu.varbi.com/what:job/job...

I really recommend Planet Soil - see it, if you can get across a screening, or contact producer Ignas van Schaik to organize one in your city:) Featuring @tobykiers.bsky.social and many more

Lund's Sustainability Week was a lot of Soil this year! Soil microscopy at the botanical Garden and Skylle, nanoplastics, and the documentary "Planet Soil" at a pretty full KinoLund with panel discussion afterwards. Thanks a lot all wonderful people who made this all happen!:) @BECC @Soilchipgroup

Svamparna som kan bli världens bästa sopgubbar - Vetenskapsradion En mängd olika material i naturen bryts ner av svampar. Nu har det visat sig att de även kan tugga i sig och städa bort miljöfarligt avfall.

Hur kan svampar bryta ner plaster? Biologiforskare @edithhammer.bsky.social medverkar i programmmet från Vetenskapsradion.

Aligning spatial ecological theory with the study of clonal organisms: the case of fungal coexistence Established ecological theory has focused on unitary organisms, and thus its concepts have matured into a form that often hinders rather than facilitates the ecological study of modular organisms. He...

To bridge this gap, we have developed the concept of the "unit of community interactions", which brings fungal ecology and modern coexistence theory closer together.

Svamparna som kan bli världens bästa sopgubbar - Vetenskapsradion En mängd olika material i naturen bryts ner av svampar. Nu har det visat sig att de även kan tugga i sig och städa bort miljöfarligt avfall.

Listening tip (In Swedish): Varför vill svampar bryta ner människoskapade material av plast?

Det och mycket annat får du svar på i detta avsnitt av Vetenskapsradion där @edithhammer.bsky.social, lektor i biologi och koordinator för BECC, dyker upp cirka 15.40 minuter in i programmet:

Inspiring (and shocking) seminar on forestry and environmental protection conflicts in Sweden and Columbia with @lisarostlund.bsky.social, fariborz Zelli and Torsten Krause. @beccsweden.bsky.social

High time for #EGU25 submissions. Consider contributing to our interdisciplinary session on the spatial heterogeneity of soils influencing biogeochemical matter cycles and C dynamics.

Today is World Soil Day! It pays attention to the importance of healthy soil & the sustainable management of the resource.
Meet Professor Katarina Hedlund & researcher Albert Brangarí, as they discuss how we can manage soils in agriculture to mitigate climate change: www.becc.lu.se/outreach-and...
