By Konsta Part of the Edge Lab’s field campaign last year was to do a bryophyte survey of the plots around Latnjajávri in the Scandinavian mountains in which we also monitor microclimate. The ultimate aim of the project is to be able to relate bryophytes’ traits to their niches. Most work on this aspect ofContinue reading “Hunting for bryophytes in the mountains”

What can genomics reveal about mountain sorrel and adaptations to life in the tundra?
By Jon Henn During the last year, a group of us at Gothenburg including myself, Maria Fernanda Jimenez Torres, Christine Bacon, and Anne Bjorkman have been working to build a project examining genomic variation in Oxyria digyna. Oxyria, or mountain sorrel, is a very widespread plant that grows basically anywhere that is somewhat open and that staysContinue reading “What can genomics reveal about mountain sorrel and adaptations to life in the tundra?”
Using giant screws to reduce the footprint of Arctic research
By Geerte Fälthammar In the early summer of 2021, a team of researchers and students screwed meter-long soil-screws into the tundra in Northern Sweden and Greenland. Now, one stormy –and even snowy- summer later, they are still standing. The goal was to tackle the problem of tripods that keep falling over, and that need toContinue reading “Using giant screws to reduce the footprint of Arctic research”
