Utöver detta ökar närheten till träd vårt välbefinnande och vår fysiska och psykiska hälsa. Medborgarnas närhet till träd och tätortsskog blir något viktigt för alla städer och därmed sätts också nyttan av att kartlägga den nuvarande gUrban trees have an important role to provide ecosystem services and to make our cities greener and more sustainable.

In the past, absolute monarchy was the most common form of government across the world. Since then, we have seen a great decline in this specific government type.

Alléodling – att titta bakåt för att komma framåt Sättet vi odlar på idag är en av de största bidragande orsakerna till de rådande klimatförändringarna. Då ekologiskt jordbruk inte visat sig kunna förhindra denna utveckling tillräckligt och dessutom genererar sämre skördar, är behovet av andra alternativ stort. Många forskare sneglar nu mot metoder som efterliknar traditionellt jordbruk och fördeA transition from conventional to organic agricultural practices has been shown to have positive impacts on soil and ground-living fauna.
