We had the pleasure of hosting Prof. Em. Deborah Neher from the University of Vermont and The Land Institute at our agricultural site today. Such a fun visit with lots of great conversations and ideas flying around.

Alexandra Pongracz on Why You Shouldn’t Miss Swedish Climate Symposium:
– It's a rare opportunity to meet colleagues from disciplines & sectors we don’t usually meet in our work... all gathering around the same purpose: ensuring climate knowledge leads to actions & societal change: shorturl.at/FCQYd
Biodiversity and climate strongly shape forest resilience after multi-year droughts, but after accounting for the human footprint, biodiversity’s contribution is consistently and strongly negative 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Very exciting N₂O dynamics emerging from our ley experiments — big emission pulses during snowmelt and soil thaw captured with our chamber measurements yesterday.

Still time to submit an abstract to the ICOS Science conference 2026 in Lund! #ICOS2026SC
And while you're in Lund come visit us! An excursion to #Hyltemossa will be part of the programm.

CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O fluxes measured at our agricultural site. Weather: uncooperative. Crew: unstoppable.

Some of our BSc students are on field excursion in Rwanda. Here they are working with Rwandan students and teachers with maintenance of a Meter weather stations installed last year (funded by The Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography).

Networks, integration, and community have been at the center of Kernza development. This figure shows how increasingly diverse stakeholder groups have and may continue to engage with Kernza over time.

En ovanlig rapport släpptes från Skogsstyrelsen idag.

Tough day for the field crew today. Sub-zero temperatures, snow and strong winds at our agricultural site Alnarp. Perfect conditions for sampling soil water and ground water... but they still managed to download data groundwater loggers etc.

Consider submitting an abstract to the ICOS Science Conference 15-17 September 2026 in Lund, Sweden. Sessions 10, 14 and 22 has LU Fluxes members as convenors but there are many other interesting options as well

New exciting paper with Lu Fluxes involvement, highlighting how trees, ponds and grazing strongly shape greenhouse gas dynamics in Sahel savannas, showing how complex and dynamic semi‑arid ecosystems really are.
Well Done Alek!

A climate‑friendly perennial grain that could reshape European agriculture has been held up in the EU approval system for over six years. Researchers call the rules outdated.

Hard work forvStig and Nele to drag hundreds of liters of water across the fields te get infiltration rate estimates
Infiltration rate estimates underway in the perennial wheat (Kernza) field
Our hardworking team are measuring infiltration rates and ground water levels to support hydrological modelling and estimates of nutrient leaching in perennial and annual grain crops in Alnarp.

@lund-university.bsky.social
Stig and Nele have been busy installing tension lysimeters the last few days. This will help us estimate nutrient leaching from perennial wheat #Kernza and the annual reference crop (currently winter wheat).

It's a challenge, to say the least 😀
Our amazing field assistants are hard at work conducting forest inventory in our continuous cover forest at Rumperöd.
Their efforts help us monitor forest structure, growth and dynamics, supporting sustainable management and carbon balance research.

Stig had a great fieldwork Friday with chamber measurements of CO2 and CH4 fluxes at both our perennial wheat field and the annual winter wheat field

New C/N analyzer, new lab - all part of our soon-to-be Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. Kalle and Stig are hard at work setting up the equipment.
Exciting times ahead!

Flux tower maintenance: the ultimate Monday reset. Climbing gear on, sensors humming, data flowing. Who needs coffee when you’ve got eddy covariance and a view like this? Awesome work by Peter and Tobias
@beccsweden.bsky.social
@lund-university.bsky.social
Wrapped up a great fieldwork day with our MSc Physical Geography students! Today they dismantled the eddy covariance tower they installed at the start of the course, marking the end of six weeks of successful flux measurements. Great teamwork and solid science in action!
@lund-university.bsky.social
This week Johannes, our dendrometer & -chronology expert, and Martin, who used #dendrometer measurements from @hyltemossa.bsky.social in his BSc thesis, attended the Nordic #DendroNet meeting at @uninmbu.bsky.social organized by @daniellecreek.bsky.social
& visited the @icos-ri.eu station #Hurdal
Tobias, Paul and Peter at our perennial crop site
We had the pleasure of meeting up with Professor Paul Stoy in Lund this week—he joined us as the opponent for a PhD defense and still made time to visit our agricultural EC flux field site. Great science, good vibes, and even better company!

Nice change of scenery during today's excursion to "Tavastland", currently docked in Landskrona. Thanks Madeleine for showing & explaining the ferry box setup. Measurements by #SMHI as part of @icossweden.bsky.social & data from other ships of opportunity contribute to the @icos-ri.eu Ocean Domain.
