Tasks:

HBI-ASCR works with CU-Prague and IZ-SAS to undertake field sampling at the Classification and Validation lakes in the Slovakian Tatra Mountains. The chemical and microbial analysis of soils and the microbial food web components of EMERGE are co-ordinated at HBI-ASCR and protocols for methods for chemical and microbiological analyses together with the organisation of a methodical workshop are organised. Microbiological sampling and analysis are carried out in Norway, Scotland, the Julian Alps, the central Alps, Ticino, and the Retezat mountains.
