Boreal forest ecosystems are predicted to experience hotter and drier summers due to climate change, leading to more frequently reduced soil water availability and an increased risk of droughts, as was already the case in Northern Europe during the severe summer drought of 2018. Prolonged water stress in forest ecosystems can lead to impacts ranging from reduced photosynthesis to forest dieback. H

Diskrimination baserat på en patients etnicitet, kön och socioekonomisk status är en utmaning för dagens sjukvård. Trots att Sverige har blivit erkänt för sin jämställdhet och socialdemokratiska styre kvarstår tecken på diskriminering vilket kan leda till felaktiga sjukvårdsbedömningar.

The importance
