Fieldwork in western Greenland on microbially-mediated uptake of organic N by plants from soil3/9/2018 In July 17-27 Dr. Kevin Newsham and I visited the Arctic Station on Disko Island on Western Greenland, where we studied plant root colonisation by fungi. We studied the effect of habitat wetness (swampy conditions or on top of hummocks) and the effect of winter snow conditions on the amount of fungi present in the roots. We will soon conduct additional labwork on nutrient transfer by fungi into the plant roots. Below some pictures of the field- and lab-work. Hopefully more results to show soon!
