Professors Åsa Berggren and Keri Facer work together to develop methods for more democratic communication. The core of their joint project is to improve our ability to truly listen to each other and
Subarctic species richness and distribution influenced by climate
Even remote, sparsely populated areas are affected by human-induced climate change. In his doctoral thesis, Pablo de la Peña Aguilera investigated what controls the distribution and species
The gout fly - a new pest of spring wheat
The gout fly came to southern Sweden in 2019 and damages spring wheat. Hanna Kollberg has compiled information about the biology, damage and control of the corn fly in Sweden in her bachelor's thesis

Cultivar mixtures may reduce aphid problems in the future
Aphids are causing problems for agriculture worldwide and there is a great need to find alternatives to chemical pesticides. Sokha Kheam's thesis shows that it may be possible to reduce infestations
Intensive agriculture results in less reliable weed control from seed eaters
To increase crop productivity, agriculture relies on intensive use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers. In a new study, researchers show that with intensive agriculture, there is a risk of losing
Diverse crop rotations can give greater cereal yields in a changing climate
The importance of a good crop rotation is known, but analyses of 32 decade-long cropping experiments across Europe and North America have clarified the benefits. One conclusion is that diversifying
Exploring the future of agrobiodiversity
Increased agrobiodiversity is expected to provide more resilient ecosystem services in our farmlands. Mattias Jonsson and Ariani Wartenberg aim to improve agrobiodiversity for resilient pest control
