Can more hands in the water provide better knowledge about fish health? Researchers from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) are now testing a new method to collect data along the Swedish Baltic Sea coast.

The EU wants all soils to be healthy by 2050 – but reaching that goal requires better ways to measure soil health. A new study shows that biological indicators, such as nematodes, could play an important role, but that more data and coordination are needed.

Researchers at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) have made a remarkable discovery in cod from the Åland Sea. Compared to their relatives in the rest of the Baltic Sea, the Åland cod have extremely high levels of boron in their otoliths. But where it comes from remains a mystery.

Wildfires are vital for regrowth in boreal forests. But where does the nitrogen these recovering forests use actually come from? A new study on wildfire recovery sites across the boreal biome led by SLU, shows that the source of this vital nutrient largely lacks explanation.
