| Norwegian Scientists Visits Gongga Mt. Station |
Prof. Vigdis and Prof. Kari visited the basis facilities and the field experiment sites about the climate change effect on moss, litter and seed germination, and the early stage of dominant species and the diversity of primary succession of vegetation responses to climate change in Glacier region. The delegation also visited the alpine meadow vegetation in YAJIAGENG.
The research on the effect of climate change on different vegetation types along the vertical vegetation spectrum attracted Norwegian scientists. They think the relative studies provide a good base for the research in high latitude and high altitude area. At last, Norwegian scientists discussed the relative collaboration project with IMHE experts. They reached a brief framework for the next collaboration.
