What makes a wetland thrive and what is the connection to climate? Is it carbon storage, clean water, climate and hydrological functions—or is it the diversity of plants, insects, fungi, birds and microorganisms that makes a wetland a living ecosystem? Join us for Thriving Wetlands, a day at Skogaryd Research Centre, to explore these and other questions, meet colleagues and discover opportunities for biodiversity and climate research.
