Most moose prefer to stay in young forests and mixed forests with a high proportion of deciduous trees. But they want to be far away from the nearest road. This is shown by a study from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), which has mapped moose movements for over 20 years.

How can a tree grow several meters tall? The answer lies in the ability of plant cells to attach to each other. This process has long been difficult to study, but PhD student Léa Bogdziewiez has developed methods that make it possible to study the process on a whole new level.

The 2025 SLU Alumnus of the year, Åsa Domeij, has now been honoured during an award ceremony at Ultuna.

Congratulations to our researchers who won the prizes "The Best Paper in the Rural Enterprise Track" and "The Alistair Anderson ERD Publication Prize".

A new study from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) reveals that the popular programme ´The great moose migration´ deepens viewers’ relationship with nature. Although it is a digital nature experience, the programme promotes calm, recovery, and emotional closeness to the wild.
