Field mission in Abisko – July 2022

On July 2022 a field mission to Abisko Research Station in Northern Sweden has been done. The goals were to produce a new vegetation map for Stordalen and Mielajokka catchments (see the previous HiPerBorea field mission in Abisko) based on satelite data (Auda et al., in prep) and to sample sphagnum mosses from the peatlands […]

Field mission in Abisko, Northern Sweden

The two considered catchments are contiguous, lying in a sub-arctic climate, discontinuous permafrost region. Miellajokka catchment is a more montainous catchment, while Stordalen encompasses a large lowland area with peatland and lakes in its northern parts. Please find below the locations and some photographies of these two watersheds.
