Gushing in beer production
Here, researchers study causes of pink kernels in malting barley and how various factors correlate with gushing in beer.
Making soil biodiversity visible in EU policy
SOB4ES is a large project with 19 partners on a mission to make soil biodiversity visible to society and integrate it into EU policies. Within SOB4ES, we analyze soil biodiversity under various intensities of major land uses in different EU regions.
Improve soil health and biodiversity in agricultural soils
In the EU project MultiSoil, we develop strategies to improve soil health and biodiversity. Our aim is to study cropping practices to reduce the reliance on chemical pest control, enhance soil functions and resilience, and support climate-smart farming.
Biological control of root rot
The fungus Heterobasidion annosum is the most destructive pathogen in northern conifer forests, affecting up to 15% of Norway spruce in Sweden. A biological control using Phlebiopsis gigantea spores is now applied to felling stumps to prevent the spread of decay.
The role of mountain birch forests in conserving insects and fungi
What role do mountain birch forests play in preserving species that live in and on dead wood and are disadvantaged by forestry? In this project, researchers are seeking answers by mapping which wood-dwelling insects and fungi live in mountain birch forests.
