How to preserve the tundra in a warming climate
Mountain avens Dryas octopetala (Photo: Katrine Hoset)NCoE Tundra is a new Nordic Centre of Excellence, funded by NordForsk, in the scheme of Top-level Research Initiative (TRI). Our scope is to study the interaction between the ecological phenomenon of top down impacts in food webs and climate vegetation interactions and to integrate this perspective with the man-managed reindeer husbandry and the Sámi culture dependent on it.
The Centre is a joint co-operation between nine research parties in three Nordic countries (Finland, Norway and Sweden). The project consists of eight Work Packages, each of them dealing with their own specific issues. More information can be found through the navigation panel on the top.
