Forests have long been seen as a sink for greenhouse gases. Research conducted by scientists from University of Gothenburg has shown that over a forest rotation of 80 years, forest production on drained peat soil is a large source of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. BECC/MERGE researchers Hongxing He and Åsa Kasimir, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Gothenburg, are two of the authors

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. By blocking a protein, VDAC1, in the insulin-producing beta cells, it is possible to restore their normal function in case of type 2 diabetes. In preclinical experiments, the researchers behind a new study have also shown that it is possible to prevent the development of the disease. The findings are published in the

Last Tuesday, our PhD Candidate Lisa Heldt “nailed” her freshly printed PhD thesis. This traditional “spikning” takes place three weeks and three days before the official defense and it involves the PhD Candidate nailing (att spika in Swedish) their physical thesis to a public board where it can be read and scrutinized by the public before the official defense ceremony. At the same time, the spikn

Claudio Daminato and his coauthors explore whether and how financial technology can affect retirement saving behavior. In many countries, the demographic transition has prompted pension system reforms. These reforms are making individuals increasingly responsible for their own retirement preparedness, amidst evidence that many lack basic financial knowledge and often make poor decisions when savin

Through the DNA analysis of old air samples collected by the Swedish Armed Forces, researchers at Lund University in Sweden can show that spore dispersal of northern mosses has shifted over the past 35 years. It now starts several weeks earlier, revealing how quickly nature’s calendar can reset in line with a warmer climate. When the Swedish military began collecting air samples in the 1960s to re
