It’s been a beautifully warm and sunny week in western Norway for doing fieldwork which, of course, we took advantage of! I had just enough time back in Bergen after the conference last week to do my laundry and re-pack for fieldwork.
There’s still a bit of snow in the mountains
Happy plant ecologists after completing our first site of the field season!

Thus far we’ve completed the vegetation surveying for two of our twelve sites. The ‘bryofighters’, our trusty plant removal team, and the carbon flux analysers, are also doing their rounds.
