Forskare: Dalafjällen kan försvinna – skogen tar över - P4 Dalarna Dalafjällen kan försvinna när nya arter etablerar sig. Det visar en studie som kollar på borealisering, det vill säga hur fjällmiljöer förskogas i takt ...

✨ Here’s a shorter web version! Just a heads-up: the title doesn’t fully reflect what this version covers. That said, our modelling studies support it — I’ll link to that paper too (bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/...

Produktivitetsavdraget måste avskaffas och senaste decenniernas nedskärningar måste kompenseras för om vi ska kunna ha högre utbildning och annan statlig verksamhet som inte ständigt försämras i kvalitet och arbetsmiljö.

Intressant, utan att veta vad frågan berör (men kan gissa). Skulle dock gärna vilja veta vilken forskare som inte är överens om gravitationsteorin🤔?

The Swedish tundra has historically lacked a wildfire regime, making it ecologically unique. However, climate-induced shifts are now elevating fire risk. I commented on these emerging dynamics on @svtnyheter.bsky.social this morning.🔥🌍 #ClimateChange #WildfireRisk #Arctic
