Shrub-field work on Disko Island

After my INTERACT research stay in the Tatra Mountains last year, I this year am heading for Disko Island in Greenland. This year, I’m investigating the ecology of arctic willow shrubs to extend our shrub-ecophysiological understanding and thereby improve shrub-parameter based reconstructions of local climate and environmental conditions. In the following I will share my impressions from the beautiful environment of Disko Island and provide an idea about the success of the field-trip.
