This wet damp weather can cause more debris to stick to our shoes and vehicles when out and about. Help prevent the spread of tree pests and diseases and remember why biosecurity is so important https://t.co/4MMFjTVf4o

NRS Forest Science Seminar: Trait expectations. Trait change in the tundra biome and what it means for the rest of the planet

14:00
NRS, Northern Research Station, Bush Estate, Roslin, Scotland

The tundra is currently warming twice as rapidly as the rest of planet Earth, which is thought to be leading to widespread vegetation change. Understanding the drivers, patterns, and impacts of vegetation change will be critical to predicting the future state of tundra ecosystems and estimating potential feedbacks to the global climate system. In this talk I will demonstrate how plant traits – the characteristics of individuals and species – can be used to investigate the fundamental structure of tundra vegetation communities, and to link vegetation change to decomposition across the tundra biome.
