In addition to research and education the Government has charged SLU with the task of conducting environmental monitoring and assessment (EMA). SLU monitors the country's forests, agricultural landscapes, lakes, watercourses and species in order to analyse environmental trends. This makes the university a key player in interpreting and understanding changes such as those that may result from a warmer climate.
The following EMA projects are on-going at the department of Animal Nutrition and Management now:
Development of new techniques for prediction of greenhouse gases from ruminants (Swedish only)
Routines to register effect of grazing on semi-natural pastures
