Unravelling biogeochemical,microbial and vegetation feedbacks driving soil development and Arctic greening under a warming climate,RIS 11961

With the help of this smaller project that is part of the Arctic Greening project (RIS 11961), I want to find out if and how the Arctic cushion plant Silene acaulis adapts to different climatic conditions. For this, I have already genetic material in form of leaves from several populations across...

Albedo and carbon flux properties of Arctic ground vegetation along gradients of reindeer grazing intensity (RiS ID: 11411)

The ongoing rapid climatic and environmental change of the Arctic call for improvement of earth system modelling with better representation of vegetation at high latitudes. Vegetation rich in bryophytes, lichens and biological soil crusts are not included in the current models, despite their larg...

Nunataks as an island model system within the island - Dispersal of Saxifraga oppositifolia. RiS ID: 11166

Saxifraga oppositifolia will be sampled from nunataks, to explore the gene flow between populations and to find out whether nunataks function as islands within the island of Spitsbergen. In addition, dispersal and colonisation of S. oppositifolia can be related to environmental factors, since pop...

KLIMAFORSK-Stort program klima

Seminar om terrestrisk-økologisk klimatologi

Klimasystemet er et komplekst fysisk-kjemisk-biologisk samspill mellom forskjellige komponenter (atmosfære, hydrosfære, kryosfære, litosfære og biosfære) og menneskelig aktivitet. Dette samspillet kan ha forsterkende eller dempende tilbakekoblingseffekter som igjen påvirker klima og klimaendringe...

Did vascular plants and bryophytes survive the last ice age in Scandinavia?

Glacial survival versus postglacial immigration of the Scandinavian alpine flora has been debated for more than 100 years, and has recently received increased attention with the development of molecular tools. Many vascular plant species occur disjunctly on both sides of the North Atlantic Ocean,...

Impacts of environmental change on plant species diversity of dryas-heath communities in alpine South-Norway

Miljøforandringer kan endre sammenhengen mellom arter i fjellets plantesamfunn. Prosjektet fokuserer på artsrike reinroseheier i Norge, og undersøker hvordan klimaforandring vil påvirke populasjonstetthet til reinrose (Dryas octopetala) som er en m attedannende sterk konkurrent. Prosjektet...
