In the perfect cross section between anthropogenic constructions and nature, we mapped the vegetation. One of the more unique compositions of species so far in #Ecobudgets.
The great advantage of having QGIS take care of creating randomly distributed sites for fieldwork. don’t think I could have picked a better spot myself to investigate the crossover from human made construction and nature! #Ecobudgets @uibcet.bsky.social @btwnthefjords-uib.bsky.social
And here’s a link to the project page - in #ECOBUDGETS we’ll work with the municipality of Bergen to develop approaches for #climate and #nature budgeting as a tool to halt and reverse nature loss #cbd #kmgbf www.uib.no/en/cet/17331...
#Fieldworkselfie - four scientists and a vegetation plot, demarcated by a mental frame. This plot is part of a random sample of 200 sick plots in Bergen Municipality. And this particular one ended up on a roadside in Nygårdsparken!
First day of field work! PhD student Hanif Kawousi starting his field work by sampliing a vegetation plot in an urban park. In this picture he is standing, smiling, with a tablet and weseing a yellow rainjacket and a blue hat. In the background, a water fountain… that’s urban ecology for you!
PhD student Hanif Kawousi and lab manager Dagmar Egelkraut eagerly messuring traits of plants …. sitting on a lawn in a park roadside curb,…
PhD student Hanif Kawousi talking to a passer-by on a paved park path. When doing urban ecology, remember to factir in some time talking to strangers :-) …for this plot alone, we had 8 people ask questions… #outreach
New project! @btwnthefjords-uib.bsky.social to map biodiversity and ecosystems in #Bergen. Very first randomly located plot in Hanif Kawousi’s #PhD is in Nygårdsparken! @uibcet.bsky.social @cesam-uib.bsky.social @unibergen.bsky.social #EcoBudgets #DarkDiv #ProudSupervisor #ProfLife #PhDLife 🍃🏔️🌐🌍📏🧪
