Simulating Global Warming: How Will Plant Communities Grow in Plus Two Degrees?

Based at the Climate Impacts Research Station, this podcast takes you into the field with scientists as they investigate climate change in an Arctic environment. By placing OTCs (open-top chambers resembling a small plexiglass greenhouse with an open-top) over plots of Arctic plant growth, which increase their internal temperature by 1-2oC, we can see what happens to the plant communities when experiencing warmer seasons.

Om Podcasten

A climate change podcast from the front lines of Arctic climate research. Based at the Abisko Scientific Research Station in northern Sweden, each episode we'll join a different team of scientists out in the field as they conduct their research in the arctic environment. From carbon emissions from changing soil types as the permafrost thaws to the movement of plant species' range as the warmer winters and longer growing seasons change their environment, we'll find out how their cutting-edge research helps us to understand climate change better.
