In the DURIN project, we are investigating how environmental factors and vegetation characteristics impact ecosystem functioning and carbon dynamics in heathland ecosystems. To better understand how dwarf-shrubs are distributing to their above ground carbon resources, we will assess patterns of whole plant standing biomass, as well as leaf longevity, and relative investment into stems and leaves on harvested dwarf-shrubs from across Norwegian heathlands and relate this to climate conditions.
Join us to learn how do carbon allocation patterns differ:
- Between dwarf-shrubs which were harvested from forested and open habitats across Norway and/or
- Within dwarf-shrub species each year because of changing climate conditions
