A trans-Atlantic perspective on successful plantation establishment in boreal ecosystems: lessons learned and research opportunities.

Boreal forests, which account for one-third of the world's forested areas, play a crucial role in global climate regulation and provide significant ecological, economic, and cultural benefits. However, boreal ecosystems face substantial threats from climate change, leading to increased disturbances such as wildfires, insect outbreaks, and disease. In response, reforestation emerges as a vital strategy for maintaining and restoring forest cover.

Association of depressive disorders and dementia with mortality among older people with hip fracture.

Background: Hip fracture (HF) is a significant cause of mortality among older people. Almost half of the patients with HF have dementia, which increases the mortality risk further. Cognitive impairment is associated with depressive disorders (DDs) and both dementia and DDs are independent risk factors for poor outcome after HF.
