Forest are vital to Sweden. After decades of rising growth, the trend reversed around 2013 – but is now climbing again. The shifts raise key questions: What drives forest growth, and how do climate, soil and management practices affect it?
This is one of the questions to be addressed in the program Wallenberg Initiatives in Forest Research – WIFORCE. Another key issue is how increased forest growth can be combined with retention of biodiversity.

B cells in our immune system remember foreign substances and can quickly produce antibodies if reinfection occurs. But only a small portion of these cells are known. There are many more variants, and researchers in Lund, Gothenburg and Stockholm want to map them. Ultimately, the result could be better vaccines.
