We are systematically working to reduce our negative impact on the environment and increase our positive impact. SLU's Environmental Management Systems (EMS) is certified according to ISO 14001.
Long-term and large-scale environmental change, such as climate change, eutrophication (nutrient enrichment), oligotrophication (nutrient depletion), brownification and acidification, affects ecosystems and knowledge of these changes and their consequences are essential.
An important part of the research is to separate changes caused by human activities from natural changes and variation. Data from our environmental monitoring programs, some of which have data from more than 50 years, serve as an important basis.
