The real taste of biology
Do you want to see a lot of colourful tropical fish? And also learn how to identify and measure them so we get reliable data on small-scale artisanal fisheries? Well, you’re in luck! Read More …
Alpine grasslands harbour a vast biodiversity and contribute to the terrestrial carbon store. Climate change is predicted to cause shifts in plant community composition in alpine environments. These shifts are likely to also change the functioning of the belowground system and affect soil organisms as well as the interactions between the aboveground and belowground components of the ecosystem. We need to understand the effect of changed climate in order to protect the alpine grassland systems. Read More …
To understand how alpine plants are affected by climate change we moved lower elevation species up into the mountain. Now we investigate the competitive effect of these lower elevation plants on alpine species. Do you want to help answer these questions by entering data for us? Read More …
Global change affects populations, communities, and ecosystems across the world. Alpine plant communities are affected more because climate is changing more rapidly than elsewhere. Plant functional traits are a powerful approach to predict how plant communities will respond to warmer temperature, higher precipitation or change nitrogen addition in the future. Read More …
Are you curious about the current state of pollinators in the city and how this has changed the last 70 years? Are you curious to learn more about pollinators and their preferences for habitats and vegetation? Would you like to explore rural parts of the city in search for bees, bumblebees and hoverflies? Then this is the project for you! Read More …
There is a lot of missing data on insects in Norway. This data gap makes it hard to know how stable populations of pollinators actually are. In order to detect any possible decreases, we need to map species and monitor any changes in population densities and diversity. By joining this project, you will be contributing with exactly this, which is incredibly important work! Read More …
