Subject field
Ecology, community assembly of plants and animals
Timing
15 to 60 ECTS
This project includes fieldwork in summer/autumn, but alternatives using already existing databases exist.
Background and aim
Stochastic events can have profound effects on vegetation composition. For instance, small differences in arrival order can drastically change the vegetation composition. We have set up a long-term, large scale field experiment that allows testing of large scale effects on the vegetation, vegetation succession, invasion or cascading effects on the microbial or insect community.
Method
Field work or dataset/lab analyses
Workplace
Department of Ecology and Environmental Science. Röbäcksdalen fieldstation, Röbäck.
