The future for the Norway Spruce

Norway spruce has been present in Sweden for a very long time, but is now struggling with the changing climate. With the help of DNA analysis, breeders can check already in seedlings which characteristics were passed on from the parents. In this way, they can speed up the breeding process to identify those trees that are best adapted to the future climate.

Roadside bees and butterflies are influenced by traffic and historic landscapes

Roadside verges and power line corridors can become vital habitats for butterflies, bumblebees, and plants, according to Svenja Horstmann´s thesis from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.

The application for degree programmes commencing in autumn 2025 is now open!

The first step is to find your programme on our website. SLU offers a variety of international Master's programmes and one international Bachelor's programme.
