Jarle Werner Bjerke

• Research on climate effects, especially related to climate change and extreme weather events in boreal and Arctic areas;
• Experimental studies for providing baselines for modeling og on-going and future ecosystem change due to climate change;
• Grazing ecology, especially related to effects of reindeer and goose;
• Anthropogenic effects, especially changes in land use (e.g. afforestation, industry, reduced outfield grazing) and air pollution, plus indirect effects via climate change, as listed above;
• Evaluations of biological diversity
• Taxonomy and systematics, especially on some lichen genera
• Impact assessments prior to planned land use changes.
