Artist Erik Olof Wiklund, student at Umeå Academy of Fine Arts, has together with staff scientist Nils Hauff pushed the boundaries of both technology and imagination – creating the world’s smallest Dala horse, the same size as a human red blood cell.

(1/2) The world’s smallest Dala horse! 🧪

What happens when you combine an #ElectronMicroscope with an artist's vision?

At UCEM, a SciLifeLab unit at @umeauniversitet.bsky.social, the tiny Dala horse was created using a FIB-SEM.

Graphical abstract of a scientific paper showing drawings of a helicopter fertilizing a forest, a harvester cutting down a tree and a tree stump next to a pine sapling with ectomycorrhizal fungi on its roots. In a 2 panel figure data on the organic layer carbon stock in fertilized and unfertilized forests is shown. In the left panel right after clearcutting, where there is a larger carbon stock in the previously fertilized clearcuts. In the right panel 4-13 years after clearcutting, when there is no longer a significant difference in soil organic layer carbon stocks.

New paper out in @jappliedecology.bsky.social ! We studied carry-over effects of nitrogen fertilization in Swedish production forests. 🌲🧪🌍
