SLU calculates and reports emissions and uptake from Sweden's Land use, Land Use Change and Forestry sector (LULUCF).
We develop ecological knowledge that is useful when making decisions that affect terrestrial biodiversity. We study how biodiversity is affected by land use, conservation measures and climate change.
Our research consists of field studies, analysis of environmental monitoring data and syntheses of earlier studies. We do this through ecological studies of various organism groups, such as insects, fungi, lichens, and vascular plants, as well as important ecological functions like carbon sequestration, decomposition, and pollination. We often put biodiversity in a wider perspective by linking it to ecosystem services and also considering other aspects important for land use decisions.
