SLU is participating in the world's largest initiative to reduce methane emissions from cows through selective breeding. Using advanced measurement technology and the Gigacow research platform, Swedish researchers are contributing to global data collection for breeding of ruminants with lower methane emissions.

SLU launches large-scale climate experiment in Swedish forest

Forest growth in Sweden has slowed down. Climate change is believed to play a key role – but exactly how remains unknown. Now, SLU is launching one of the largest field experiments of its kind to find out how earlier snowmelt, drought, and warmer summers affect forest growth and ecosystem functions.
