SLU launches large-scale climate experiment in Swedish forest

Forest growth in Sweden has slowed down. Climate change is believed to play a key role – but exactly how remains unknown. Now, SLU is launching one of the largest field experiments of its kind to find out how earlier snowmelt, drought, and warmer summers affect forest growth and ecosystem functions.

Plant genotype-dependent biocontrol of wheat diseases

Genetic variation in plants can affect how efficiently biological control agents can reduce diseases. In this doctoral thesis, Sidhant Chaudhary has investigated this variation to bring us closer to optimising crops for higher biocontrol responsiveness.

Pharmaceutical pollution affects migration in Atlantic salmon

Young salmon exposed to pharmaceutical pollution change their behaviour. They prefer to swim alone rather than in shoals and take greater risks during the vital migration from river to sea. This is the result of a unique new study conducted at SLU.
