Objectif(s): To determine whether floristic composition, stranding crop and net production differ among meadows with contrasting microclimatic and grazing regimes; to determine how competition among the major sedge species is affected by variations in climate and grazing pressure; to determine environmental influences on species pattern in sedge meadows;

Description du projet: The Researchers will continue to investigate how high arctic sedge meadows respond to microclimate and grazing.
