How do forests shape the climate — and how does a changing climate reshape our forests? What can science reveal about the forests of tomorrow?
With the municipality of Lund we produced this mini documentary about climate modeling and the forest, as part of an exhibition at Skrylle outside of Lund

Long live the air pollution measurements!
In forests: Hyltemossa, Norunda, Svartberget.
At sea: Östergarnsholm.
In Arctic: Svalbard.
Higher: with remote sensing + cloud radar.
And intensively: with mobile station GoEPIC.

Secondary forests could be a key factor in climate management
Analysing more than 100,000 field measurements & environmental data, an international research team, incl. Thomas Pugh, researcher in physical geography & MERGE, created maps showing how & when secondary forests bind most carbon:
