Title
Predicting terrestrial ecosystem responses to changing Arctic catchments Research area and project description Key question addressed in the PhD project:
How does climate warming alter terrestrial ecosystem structure and biogeochemical processes, and how do these changes influence the freshwater and marine environments downstream?
This PhD will investigate how changes in temperature, precipitation, snow cover, soil moisture and seasonality directly and indirectly affect vegetation and invertebrates, soils, microbial communities as well as carbon and nutrient cycling across a climate gradient.
The project will use the terrestrial species data and could include (but not restricted to) automated weather station data, vegetation and invertebrate observations, soil measurements, DNA barcoding, drones and automated imagery/video systems1 …
