Abstract/Summary

The genus Carex is one of the most species-rich in the sedge family. It is an important genus in arctic and sub-arctic environments often being the dominant vegetation. Although several studies have considered the influence of climate change or nutrient dynamics of specific species of Carex, to date an assessment of the functional distribution of Carex species within and between sites has not been attempted. The aim of this study is to record specific physical traits of Carex bigelowii collected from a variety of habitats and landscapes at sites in Kobberfjord (Greenland), Litla-Skard (Icleand) and Cairngorms (Scotland; to be completed 2013); and using the traits collected to determine the response of Carex bigelowii to environmental conditions.
