Department of Ecology

Climate change, biodiversity loss and competition for land are putting growing pressure on ecosystems – and on us, who depend on them. Ecological knowledge has never been more vital than it is today. We contribute to sustainable agriculture and forestry, plant protection with less reliance on pesticides, nature conservation and wildlife management.

  • One of the largest centres for ecological research in the Nordic region
  • Extensive expertise in insects and wildlife
  • A focus on interdisciplinary research and collaboration with wider society
