MILJØFORSK-Miljøforskning for en grønn samfunnsomstilling

Future ArcTic Ecosystems (FATE): drivers of diversity and future scenarios from ethnoecology, contemporary ecology and ancient DNA

Noen av verdens mest dramatiske økosystemendringer skjer i arktisk på grunn av klimaoppvarming og økt menneskelig press. Dette har store implikasjoner for bevaring av biologisk mangfold og for regionens innbyggere. Urbefolkningen i arktiske og subarktiske samfunn, som er nært knyttet til sitt mil...

The Palaeo-Resilience Working Group - Workshop 1: Measuring Components of Resilience in Long-term Ecological Datasets

Identifying the properties that underpin ecosystem resilience in response to climate change and other disturbances is a global research priority. The Convention on Biological Diversity (Target 15) states: "by 2020, ecosystem resilience and the contribution of biodiversity to carbon stocks have be...

Quantifying the Drivers of Palaeoecological Change

Tidligere miljøforhold kan rekonstrueres fra mikrofossiler stillinger i innsjøen eller havet sedimenter med en overføringsfunksjon som bruker moderne forholdet mellom arter distribusjoner og miljø i et moderne kalibreringssett. Den «PalaeoDrivers» prosjektet arbeider med å utvikle metoder for å v...

Developing a method to measure UV-B flux through time using aromatic compounds contained in fossil pollen and leaf cuticle

Planter kan også bli solbrente! Ultrafiolett stråling (UV-B) i sollys er skadelig for arvestoffet, og påvirker helse, avlinger, det biologiske mangfoldet, økosystemene og stoffkretsløpet på jorda. Vi vet at det har vært stor variasjon i UV-B-innstrålingen gjennom jordas historie, blant annet ...

Ancient DNA of NW Europe reveals responses to climate change

Vokste det trær på Andøya under siste istid? I prosjektet AfterIce prøver vi å svare på dette og andre spørsmål om fortidens klima og vegetasjon. Nordspissen av Andøya var, i motsetning til mesteparten av Skandinavia, isfritt under siste istids maksimum for ca 20 000 år siden. Den gang vokste ...

Reconstruction of past ecosystems by barcoding DNA preserved in permafrost

Recent advances in ultra-high-throughput DNA sequencing technology and in species identification (?barcoding?) tools based on ancient DNA preserved in permafrost soils are opening up a novel research avenue for paleoecological reconstruction. In this proj ect, we will develop new DNA barcoding ma...

Evolution of floral size in Campanula rotundifolia (Campanulaceae) - effects of selection by pollinators and gene flow

Campanula rotundifolia is a widespread plant that exhibits a clinal variation in flower size along altitudinal gradients. Generally, lowland populations exhibits plants with many small flowers and alpine populations exhibits plants with few large flowers. This variation also seems to covary with...

FRIBIO-Biologi og biomedisin

The effect of sheep grazing on alpine plant communities, species and populations: what is the importance of plant life histories?

Grazing is an important factor for plant dynamics, but it has proved difficult to generalise about grazing impact, partly because of a lack of a good mechanistic framework linking the grazing impacts on certain life stages to the dynamics of the populatio ns. A functional classification of specie...

The effect of climate on seed renegation strategies: Population-scale experimental tests on four Veronica species

Seeds and seedlings are vulnerable stages in the life cycles of plants, and we expect strong fitness consequences of environmental variability on these stages. Climate has a major influence on vegetation, and in species with wide geographical or altitudin al distributions, the factors and process...
