The environmental requirements of dwarf shrubs
Often when we characterize plant growth and development, we focus on the above-ground, but less-so on the below-ground. Join us in exploring the blow-ground world! Read More …

Understanding dwarf shrubs carbon allocation patterns above ground.
With the encroachment of the arctic, we are seeing a drastic change in once stable carbon systems, moving into a positive feedback loop causing worsening of our climate. Come join us in our journey to understand this cycle! Read More …

Bird-invertebrate interactions amid global change
Would you like to be involved in a project studying how birds and invertebrates interact amidst climate and habitat change? We need help collecting and processing key invertebrates in birds’ trophic network, including tree-dwelling prey insects and nest-dwelling ectoparasites. There even might be occasional opportunities to assist with bird nest monitoring! Read More …
Assessment of pollination provisioning in agricultural landscapes
What functions do various species of pollinators serve in contributing to pollination services within Norwegian apple orchards? This project offers an opportunity to gain hands-on field experience in pollination ecology (spring 2024). Read More …
Leaf litter decomposition
How much carbon can heathland ecosystems reabsorbe? In this project you will get both field and lab experience. Read More …
Underground carbon in alpine grasslands
We are investigating underground biomass, decomposition and respiration in alpine grasslands, in context of grazing and climate change. We need help digging out tea bags, root cores and measuring carbon flux. It is fun manual work in a stunning landscape with some interesting homemade setups. Read More …

Insektdød i Norge? Hvordan har nattsommerfugler varier over de siste 15 år
Vi opplever en stor nedgang i antall insekter i verden, men det er ofte vanskelig å tallfeste denne nedgangen på en etterrettelig måte. Spørsmålet vi stiller i dette prosjektet er om vi ser samme nedgangen for nattsommerfugler i Norge som har blitt observert for insekter i andre deler av verden. Read More …

Karbonlagring i fjellheimen
Globle endringer er på vei og hvordan de påvirker karbonlagringen i fjellet er fremdeles uvisst! Bli med og hjelp meg med mitt masterprosjekt der jeg skal finne ut av hvor karbonet tar veien når det har kommet inn i økosystemet når de globale endringene er i gang. Read More …
Ecosystem respiration under the snow
The winter blind spot: what’s going on under the snow in the mountains during winter? Is everything frozen and quietly waiting for spring? Let’s find out! Read More …
How does grassland vegetation recover from years of nitrogen additions?
Depositions of ammonia and nitrogen oxides have heavily increased since the mid 1900’s, and nitrogen additions in grasslands have shown to affect grass biomass, soil pH and nutrient availability. But how do these grasslands recover if nitrogen additions stop, and for how long does the added nitrogen stay in the systems? Read More …
Ekstremtørke i kystlynghei
Kystlynghei er ein trua naturtype som står ovenfor store utfordringar knytt til klimaendringar. Dei siste åra har vi alle fått kjenne på ekstremvær som lengre periodar med tørke, men ein art som virkelig har fått kjenne på det er kystlyngheia si nøkkelart; Røsslyng. Ved å delta på prosjektet så er du med på å finne ut kva vi kan forvente skje langs heile norskekysten dei neste åra som følge av ekstremvær. Read More …
