Diversified cropping

The Bommarco lab analyses how diversified farming affects crop yield and ecosystem functions in crop production and cropped landscapes. We assess options for adaptation and mitigation of climate

Bommarco lab

We study insect and plant ecology in agriculture. We explore how farming practices, land use and climate affect biodiversity and ecosystem functions such as crop yield, pest regulation and

Economics, policy and food systems transformation

The Bommarco lab explores how diversified farming affects farm economy, how it can be developed and promoted in food value chains and food systems. We explore how biodiversity and ecosystem services,

Microbiome monitoring for risk assessment in recirculating aquaculture systems

Harmful bacteria have a negative impact in aquaculture operations, resulting in increased fish mortality and reduced yield. This project aims to understand the factors leading to their proliferation

Dispersal barriers and functional convergence in aquatic microorganisms

For almost a century, microorganisms have been thought to have a worldwide distribution, leading to the famous hypothesis that "everything is everywhere, but the environment selects". But recent

Plant cell wall research opens up new opportunities for bioengineering

Secondary cell walls provide the plant with stability and protection against damage and pathogens. PhD student Félix Barbut from Ewa Mellerowicz’s group at UPSC and SLU has been studying the role of

From healthy food to junk food

The northern landscapes are warming twice as fast as the Earth’s average because of climate change. This impacts lake ecosystem functions. Researchers have noticed changes in lake food webs. In many
