Dear Colleagues,
We're starting up a new project investigating biodiversity and carbon
storage of alpine ecosystems under climate change
(http://www.uib.no/en/rg/EECRG/85396/funcab). The project focuses on
the roles of, and interactions between, different functional groups
of plants and microbes in controlling the biodiversity and carbon
storage of these systems under climate change. Removal experiments
(graminoids, forbs, bryophytes), plant and microbial biodiversity
assessments, and C flux and stock measurements will make up the core
field and lab components of the project. The project will make use
of the 'climate grid' of experimental sites set up by the SeedClim
project (http://www.uib.no/en/rg/EECRG/55395/seedclim) along
temperature and precipitation gradients in western Norway.
So lots of exciting field work carried out in the beautiful fjord
landscapes of western Norway.
And for all this, we need PhD students!
We are now advertising *two PhD positions*, open now, deadline the
9th and 2nd of March, respectively, to work on
Biodiversity:

Please help me spread the word!
