Observed shifts in the floral traits of cowslips
The study focus on the well-being of insect-pollinated plants under changing climate and land use conditions.
A new Antarctic ice core - a historic milestone for climate science
An international team of scientists, within the European-funded project “Beyond EPICA - Oldest Ice”, successfully drilled a 2,800 meters long ice core, reaching the bedrock beneath the Antarctic ice sheet.
Nitrogen causes unexpected plant migration in forests
A new study surprisingly shows that nitrogen pollution is the main driver of forest plant expansion in Europe. Climate change does not affect plant movement to the same extent.
Heavy melting on Kebnekaise's southern peak
Sydtoppen (the South Peak) – Sweden's former highest point – is now 3.3 meters lower than last year and also 6.9 meters lower than Kebnekaise's north peak.
Quantifying the global risk of water scarcity
Results indicate higher risks to water supply than previously expected if accounting for the environmental conditions and governability where rain is produced.
