Methods & Procedures

Procedures and methodology used for, e.g., sampling and sample storage, sample pretreatment, extraction and analysis, including which laboratories are involved, references to methods employed, etc.: c. 3.500 physical and biotic parameters are measured each year in marine and terrestrial (including glacial) parts of the ecosystem at a low arctic and a high arctic site. The programme is cross-disciplinary and aims on providing data to allow for quantifying the dynamics of a low arctic ecosystem
