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 shoot growth, leaf longevity, and relative investment into stems and leaves on harvested dwarf-shrubs from across Norwegian heathlands.

Join us to learn how do carbon allocation patterns differ:

1)Between dwarf-shrubs which were harvested from forested and open habitats across Norway and/or

2)Between dwarf-shrubs which were growing under different drought treatments and fire histories.
