Forests are important for climate change mitigation, both as raw material for biofuels and for carbon storage. At the same time, forests are under pressure from a changing climate and more intensive forestry. A new thesis by Klas Lucander at Lund University, also member of BECC, shows the possible consequences for forests of fertilisation, and how this could lead to eutrophication and acidificatio
