I am a MSCA researcher of the research group ‘Plants and Ecosystems’ (PLECO) at the University of Antwerpen, Belgium. I focus on the impacts of permafrost thaw on the biogeochemistry of arctic peatlands, and my research is done within the framework of the FROSTLAND project. Permafrost peatlands in the Arctic typically develop as patterned-ground systems, […]

by Agata Buchwal, Ylva Sjöberg, Pawel Matulewski Air temperature observations show that the Barents region is currently the most rapidly warming region on the globe. For better understanding how the climate has varied in this region longer back in time and beyond the record of direct observations, we measure the growth rings of trees and […]

Due to the pandemic situation last year, we decided to postpone our field activities to 2021. Our departure was in the balance until the last moment because of travel restrictions, but…we are finally here! We come from three different […]

Soil sampling – when bacteria act sensitive One windy afternoon, I joined a NIBIO Svanhovd researcher to go to the fjell (the Norwegian term for mountain). We drove as far as possible and could experience a Norwegian cart track but of course we needed to leave the car behind and headed towards the hill (or […]

Root sampling – hidden interactions in the underground Imagine being told that a sunny day with a light wind (good against mosquitos!) occurs for only about ten days per year in this region. And imagine working in the field on one of those days! In the beginning of August, I joined two NIBIO scientists on […]
