Jubilee Year, 19 December 2016 to 28 January 2018 Lund University celebrated its 350th anniversary from 19 December 2016 to 28 January 2018. As the University was founded on 19 December 1666, but was not officially inaugurated until 28 January 1668, the jubilee lasted 13 months instead of one year. During the 13-month jubilee, the University offered almost 400 events involving the general public,

For just over 350 years, Lund University has educated students and created new knowledge. Below is a history of how it developed from a small provincial academy into a major international university with world-leading research. When Lund University was founded in 1666, Sweden was a great power, which eight years prior had won the province of Skåne from Denmark. Just one month after the Swedish vic

This project aims to describe the impact of recent climate change on birds utilising data from the Swedish Breeding Bird survey. We are taking a number of different approaches with the aim of gaining a holistic overview of how population changes can drive distribution shifts and in turn drive changes in bird communities.Detecting distribution shifts in Swedish birdsChanging climate is expected to

Preliminary results from the STAKE project indicate that BECC needs to work more systematically with stakeholder interaction (SI). The project continues with a broader study of environmental researchers in Sweden and how they work with SI, with a study of how researchers try to respond to Formas demands for SI, and finally with a guideline for how SI can be conducted in a systematic way. The BECC

BECC consists of scientists at different stages of their career. A particular role is played by BECC’s Principal Investigators (PIs) who, as representatives and leaders within the research groups encompassed by BECC in Lund and Gothenburg, contribute to the development of BECC. A PI in BECC is a permanently employed researcher (as researcher, lecturer, or Professor) or associate senior lecturer, a

How can increased demands for food and fibre be combined with conservation of biodiversity which often is threatened by agricultural intensification and expansion? This project focus on the relative benefits of segregating or integrating conservation and agricutlural production (land sparing versus land sharing). On one hand it has been suggested that agriculture should be intensive on existing ar

We develop eco-evolutionary models and life-history optimisation models to study adaptive phenology and their effects on ecological interactions and populations. Our work guides the interpretation of changing phenology patterns and enhances the possibility to predict the ecological consequences of climate changes.
Aims to analyse climate response in flowering time and phenological mismatch using records from herbarium specimens. Phenological data have emerged as effective tools for studying the impact of climate change on demographic processes. Of the biological responses to climate change detected to date, changes in phenological events during the spring such as onset of flowering are among the most sensit

addressing our society´s need for knowledge about the dynamics between biodiversity and ecosystem services in a rapidly changing world To generate cutting-edge research increasing the ability of societies to reach the UN Sustainability Development Goals, BECC currently focuses on three grand challenges arising from the combined consequences of climate change and land-use on biodiversity, ecosystem

One major challenge is to reduce the currently high uncertainty about how the carbon cycle responds to anthropogenic and biophysical drivers, including long-term effects of slow-responding processes of vegetation and soils. The carbon cycle dynamically couples the biosphere, oceans and atmosphere, and links societal and biophysical dimensions of the Earth system. A Grand Challenge is to reduce wid
A Grand Challenge is to integrate private and public values of ecosystem services into environmental policies and management, while accounting for the projected impacts of climate, land-use and other drivers of change. Climate, environmental and socio-economic change may negatively impact ecosystems and their services. But it may also provide opportunities such as increased agricultural and silvic
Climate change threatens biodiversity directly, but also indirectly through changes in land-use caused by attempts to mitigate or adapt to climate change. This calls for effective biodiversity conservation strategies on different scales. The direct and indirect consequences of climate change may have compounding effects on biodiversity, such as habitat loss that limits species range shifts. A Gran
