Department of Ecology

Climate change, biodiversity loss and competition for land are putting growing pressure on ecosystems – and on us, who depend on them. Ecological knowledge has never been more vital than it is today. We develop solutions for sustainable agriculture and forestry, plant protection with fewer toxins and effective conservation and wildlife management.

  • One of the Nordic region's largest centre for ecological research
  • Deep knowledge of insects, wildlife and soil organisms
  • A strong focus on interdisciplinary research and working closely with society
