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

Field Notes on Climate Change - A podcast by Climate Impacts Research Centre / Emma Brisdion

Categories:

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.
