The Earth is getting warmer, we know that. In Sweden, there are unique opportunities for researchers to examine how this fact affects the climate in Sweden and in the rest of the world. Sweden is like a peephole into the future, the water temperature rises, the glaciers are melting, the permafrost thaws. In the Swedish mountains, lakes and forests answers lie hidden on how climate change can affect the environment. Researchers Ellen Dorrepaal and David Seekell at Umeå University, David Wardle, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and Örjan Gustafsson at Stockholm University are examining what is happening to the Earth climate.
