This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Death in the form of a skeleton with a scythe is a familiar figure of dread, but death and dying do not have to be frightening. “Death does not have to be marked by fear; it can just as often be characterised by calm and quiet. There can be a lot of joy even during the last days of a person’s life!” Carl Johan Furst.

En ny studie från Lunds universitet visar att skogar som har förstörts av bränder fortsätter att avge koldioxid långt efter att lågorna har slocknat. Enligt de nya beräkningarna kan det ta över 40 år innan all den koldioxid som frigjordes på grund av skogsbranden i Sverige 2018 har bundits av ny skog igen. Forskningsresultaten gäller den boreala skogen som sträcker sig över det norra halvklotet fr
