New paper: The composition of Arctic plant communities appears to be more related to fine-scale environmental variation than to large-scale variation in summer temperatures, and microhabitat buffering may thus delay the effects of #ClimateChange at least in W Greenland doi.org/10.1002/ecog... 🌱🧪🌐

Developing and testing the models demands a wealth of diverse data and a very dedicated team!
From tagging projects to stranding records, we gather critical information on animal movement, energetics, and population structure to inform and refine these models 🐬

Our researchers use a variety of models, including DEPONS (depons.eu), which simulates the effects of noise disturbance on harbor porpoises.
By simulating how noise impacts their movement and foraging success, DEPONS can assess the impacts of offshore wind farm construction and ship traffic. 🛥️🐬
