Bete är en nyckelåtgärd för att bevara naturbetesmarker, några av Sveriges viktigaste livsmiljöer ur natur- och kulturvårdssynpunkt. Det är dock en utmaning att hitta rätt nivå på betet vilket leder till att många värdefulla marker betas för hårt, medan andra marker växer igen.

Being able to predict diseases before they develop has become somewhat akin to the search for the Holy Grail. The difference is that research has a greater chance of success in finding what they are looking for than King Arthur's knights did. And in many cases, there are significant health benefits to being able to predict disease risk early: prevention is better than cure. Biomarkers are trace el
