Some fungi are wasteful, while others recycle – and this can determine how much carbon is stored in a forest. Researchers at Lund University have now revealed how fungi manage their mycelium, the network that builds the structure of fungus. The results could provide new insights into the carbon cycle and climate. Researchers have investigated how fungi recycle their mycelium when they grow. Using

What we eat and drink impacts people and the environment in many ways – thanks to the way food is produced, transported and used. New guidelines for purchasing foodstuffs raise our ambitions and clarify the University’s role on issues of sustainable food production. The target is to increase the proportion of food that is vegetarian and in season, and for food wastage to be reduced. Food is a sust

A few sharp minds working together for almost an entire summer. The task: to tackle the problem that a couple of days of work generates so much data, that it would take months to analyse. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction is a technique that allows us to obtain precise and detailed structural information of materials and their properties, and to fundamentally understand physical processes at the atomi
