First round of germination recordings, and @nadi-mi-ar.bsky.social & MSc Silje Steine @btwnthefjords-uib.bsky.social and I were thrilled (& a bit relieved) to find hundreds of seedlings. Out experiment works! #ITEX #ProudSupervisor #ProfLife #PhDLife 🍃🏔️🌐🌍🪏📏🧪

Update! @nadi-mi-ar.bsky.social & MSc Silje Steine @btwnthefjords-uib.bsky.social have now set up plots & OTCs, prepared and sowed seeds of 8 lowland species into the alpine, with/without warming & neighbours. Excited to see results over the summer!! #ITEX #ProudSupervisor #ProfLife #PhDLife 🍃🏔️🌐🌍🪏📏🧪
Open top chambers (OTCs) are small glasshouses without roofs that are extensively used in climate change research to warm Arctic and alpine vegetation to experimentally assess climate change impacts. In this picture we see a bunch of them newly set up in a mountain grassland An Open Top Chamber (OTC( in a grassland, seen from above, with some plots inside. The plots are 50% vegetarion, 50% bare soil.

Msc student Silje Steine has her ducks in a row! 😉. She is sitting at a table sorting many many little bags into neat stacks, in a candle-lit mountain cabin. The bags contain seeds to be sown as part of a field experiment. MSc Student Silje Steine sitting in a meadow, bent over a vegetation plot, sowing some seeds. Lots of bags, equipment, recording sheets in the foreground.

The plots will indeed fit comfortably! #fieldseason #protip: try out new experimental setups in the office before heading out, to avoid unnecessary hiccups in the field! #ProfLife #PhD 🍃🌐🏔️🪏📏@dagmaregelkraut.bsky.social @nadi-mi-ar.bsky.social @btwnthefjords-uib.bsky.social @unibergen.bsky.social
Two happy scientists, an open top chamber with three mock ‘plots’ made of paper, a meter stick, and a lot of general fieldwork mess in a university hallway
