Old floras reveal shifts in the flowering season in response to a warming climate
SLU researcher Alistair Auffret discovered a new way to track plant responses to climate change. Delving into floras and wildflower guides from the late 1700 until 2018, he could show how species are now starting to flower earlier and continuing to flower later into the summer and early autumn. On average, the floras showed that the flowering season has increased with almost 4 weeks over a 220-year period. Alistair Auffret believes that historical sources such as this can be an important way for us to understand how humans affect biodiversity.

SLU Artdatabankens naturvårdspris 2021 går till Mats Rosenberg
SLU Artdatabankens naturvårdspris 2021 går till Mats Rosenberg för hans livsverk att omvandla ett av människan förstört och sargat landskap till ett biologiskt myllrande område, numera Oset och Rynningevikens naturreservat. Arbetet har lett till innovationer i naturvårdsteknik som också har påverkat naturvårdsarbete både nationellt och internationellt.
