Project Grant 2022 – Feedbacks between a changing climate and vegetation

Plants release chemical compounds that impact clouds, and thereby the climate on Earth. Researchers are examining this chain of events in a project involving field trials in Swedish coniferous forest and in tropical rain forest, as well as theory development. The aim is to improve our climate models.

The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has published a report on Ilona Riipinen's project Mapping the unexplored impact of forest on climate, which received the KAW Stifelsen project grant in 2022.
