I min masteroppgave skal jeg se på hvordan bladers funksjonelle egenskaper forandres gjennom ontogenien (den juvenile fasen) hos planter i kystlynghei. Siden jeg jobber med kystlynghei er jeg så heldig å få være en del av LandPress-teamet...

Since the 18th Century, the world has undergone an industrial revolution, upturned the consensus on medical care, and invented a whole new way of conducting agriculture. But somehow, the institution of education has stayed somewhere in the past. School children are still subjected to the same teaching style that was used two hundred years ago. [&he...
Aud Halbritter made a video of the second day of the ClimMani workshop. Researchers from around the world arrived at Finse by train before making the 2 km ski journey to the research station. For some, this was their first experience of skiing, and for many it was their first experience of skiing in the […]...
