Amazonian deforestation is making wet seasons wetter and dry seasons dryer, according to research in nature. The analysis highlights the local and regional effects of removing trees from the tropical region. go.nature.com/4imes0O

Forest fertilization may mean biodiversity loss. It should therefore only be done where it really increases tree growth. This seems not to be the case in low-productive pine forest and in cold climate. Also not in low and high productive spruce forest. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Selection of forests for preservation is a high priority in Sweden. But this selection is mainly based on a subset of aboveground characteristics and fail to capture important parts of the soil fungi, particularly in northern Sweden. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co…

Håkan Rydin has published a manuscript that he found in the archives of our department, written around 1960 by two of the most important mire ecologists of the 20th century: Hugo Sjörs och Eville Gorham. Nobody knows why it was not published by the authors mires-and-peat.scholasticahq.com/article/129644…

An analysis in nature identifies key drivers behind vascular plant composition changes in a warming Arctic. The study finds overall species loss or gain did not occur, but turnover was widespread. go.nature.com/3YTt1Se
