The First Swedish Biodiversity Symposium: From Knowledge to Action for Transformative Change

The first Swedish Biodiversity Symposium was held at the Conference Centre Wallenberg in Gothenburg 21–23 October. The Bolin Centre and RT4 were co-organizers of the symposium, which was fully booked with over 400 participants. The Symposium was focused on Transformative change- from knowledge to action and was oriented to a science-policy interface to improve communication and discussion of knowledge on biodiversity.

Lignins – not so random after all

Lignins – the complex molecules that make plants sturdy and allow them to grow tall – are not as random as once thought. A new international study led by Prof. Edouard Pesquet at Stockholm University uncovers how lignins’ chemistry and structure vary between cell types to meet plants’ physiological needs. The paper, published as a Tansley Review in the journal New Phytologist, highlights how this molecular diversity has been key to plants’ success on land.

Mesocosm experiments can reveal how warming and animal communities affect greenhouse gas emissions

Creating controlled mini-ecosystems, called mesocosms, is one way for researchers to study factors that influence processes in the sea. This summer, a large experiment of this kind was conducted at the Askö Laboratory, to investigate how emissions of greenhouse gases from shallow coastal bays are affected by global warming and by animal communities in the water and sediment.
