Biochemistry and molecular biology
Biochemistry, sometimes called biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. Molecular biology concerns the molecular basis of biological activity between the various systems of a cell, including the interactions between DNA, RNA and proteins and their biosynthesis, as well as the regulation of these interactions.

Unclear guidelines prevent adequate protection of forest streams
To diminish the negative impacts of tree felling, a protected corridor in the riparian zone is recommended in many countries. But the guidelines are too vague and unclear to achieve the desired

Knowledge unearthed: Variation in our forests controlled by moisture
The water guides the way for the forest's growth and its carbon sequestration potential. PhD-student Johannes Larson has mapped this in his dissertation using advanced soil moisture maps – and a

New research on the forests unknown nitrogen fixers
SLU research project gets funding to fill knowledge gap about one of the boreal forest's most crucial nutrients. Forests rely on nitrogen for growth. However, in the cold, boreal forests, the
